Cookie Policy

Effective Date: June 24, 2026  |  Last Updated: June 24, 2026

1. Who We Are

This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Pequod's Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"), accessible at pequodsclub.click. For any questions about our use of cookies, you may contact us at:

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 to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to gather reporting information about how visitors use the site.

Cookies are created by your web browser at the request of the website you are visiting. They are stored on your device and sent back to the originating website each time you return, or sent to another website that recognizes that specific cookie. This allows the website to remember your preferences, recognize your device, and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, although personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit pequodsclub.click, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends that cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or session information. This process happens automatically in the background and enables the seamless experiences you enjoy when browsing our website.

Similar technologies to cookies include:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page was viewed or an email was opened.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that identifies your device based on its unique configuration and settings.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on pequodsclub.click into four main types based on their purpose. Understanding these categories will help you make informed decisions about which cookies you consent to.

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

Essential cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website would not work, and services you have requested — such as viewing our menu, placing online orders, or submitting a contact form — would not be available.

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling in forms, or setting your cookie preferences. Because they are strictly necessary, they are not subject to your consent under applicable law.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can 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 any errors or bottlenecks. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use our site, which we use to compile reports and improve our website. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

You can learn more about how Google uses data from partner sites by visiting: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our 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 features may not function properly.

Examples of functionality provided by these cookies include:

  • Remembering your location preferences (e.g., your nearest Pequod's Pizza location)
  • Saving your language or accessibility settings
  • Remembering whether you have already been shown certain notifications or pop-ups
  • Enabling embedded third-party content such as maps, video players, or social media feeds
  • Supporting live chat or customer support tools

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on our site and on other sites across the internet. 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.

We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) conversion tracking and Meta (Facebook) Pixel for advertising purposes. These tools help us understand the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and allow us to show you relevant ads based on your visit to our website.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), if you are a California resident, the sharing of personal information through advertising cookies may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under California law. You have the right to opt out of such sale or sharing. See Section 7 for more information on how to exercise this right.

Cookie Type Impact If Disabled
Essential Cookies These cannot be disabled. Blocking them through browser settings may cause the website to malfunction, preventing you from completing online orders, accessing certain pages, or using interactive features.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to track website performance or understand how visitors use our site. This does not affect your ability to use the site, but it limits our ability to improve it based on usage data.
