1. Who We Are
This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Dions, a food business based in the United States. If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us using the details below:

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 websites work more efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Dions) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Cookies generally do not contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not viruses or computer programs — they are simple text files that cannot perform any operations on their own.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website at dions.world, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.
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. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and measure the effectiveness of our communications.
- Local Storage: A web storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally on your browser, similar to cookies but with a larger capacity and no expiration date unless explicitly cleared.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in our website that allow third-party services to collect information about your browsing activity.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings to create a unique identifier for your device.
For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
