Last Updated: June 21, 2026

Important Notice: This Cookie Policy explains how Pequod's Pizza uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on meals-pequods.click. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pequod's Pizza ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). We operate the website meals-pequods.click (the "Website") and are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on our Website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our Website and the ways in which we handle your personal information. By accessing or using meals-pequods.click, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

If you have questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners and operators to make websites function more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to the user's browser. The browser stores the cookie as a small file. When the user returns to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize the user and remember relevant information about their previous visits.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pequod's Pizza) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by third-party services to be integrated into or accessed via the website, such as advertising, interactive content, or analytics tools.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit meals-pequods.click for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it locally on your device. Each time you make a subsequent request to our server, your browser sends the cookie back, allowing us to identify your device and personalize your experience accordingly. Cookies can be session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them).

3. Why We Use Cookies

Pequod's Pizza uses cookies for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to:

Ensuring our Website functions correctly and securely
Remembering your preferences and settings to improve your experience
Understanding how visitors use our Website so we can improve it
Delivering relevant advertising and promotional content
Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
Preventing fraud and protecting the security of our Website and users
Enabling social media features and integrations

We are committed to using cookies only in ways that are compliant with applicable United States laws and regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection at the federal level.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on meals-pequods.click into four main types:

4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are necessary for our Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, the Website would not be able to operate correctly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Note: Essential cookies cannot be disabled because the Website cannot function without them. They are not used for marketing or advertising purposes.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, helping us measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, see how visitors move around the site, and identify areas for improvement. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on the Website may be diminished.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our Website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Pequod's Pizza ensures that any advertising cookies used comply with applicable FTC guidelines and, where applicable, CCPA/CPRA requirements.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the ability to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on our Website. The following outlines the potential impact by cookie type:

Cookie Type	Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies	Disabling essential cookies will severely impact your ability to use our Website. Core functions such as navigation, form submissions, secure login, and order processing may not work correctly or at all. We strongly recommend keeping essential cookies enabled.
Analytics Cookies	Disabling analytics cookies means we will not be able to track your visit to our Website for performance monitoring purposes. This does not affect your browsing experience directly, but it reduces our ability to understand how users interact with our Website and make improvements accordingly.
Functional Cookies	Disabling functional cookies may result in a less personalized experience. Features such as saved cart items, language preferences, and location settings may not be retained between visits, requiring you to re-enter preferences each time you visit.
Advertising Cookies	Disabling advertising cookies means you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. It does not reduce the number of ads you see; it simply makes them less targeted. You may also experience reduced effectiveness of any retargeting campaigns we run.
