Last Updated: July 18, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Dions ("we," "us," or "our"). We operate the website dionshot.click 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, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. By accessing or using dionshot.click, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.
If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.
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 efficiently, improve user experience, and 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 computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Cookies can be "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies survive after your browser is closed and can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the internet again.
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies such as:
- Web Beacons: Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included in our website pages and email messages.
- Local Storage: A web storage technology that allows websites to store data locally within your browser.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
- Fingerprinting: A technique used to identify users based on their device and browser configurations.
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
Dions uses cookies for a variety of reasons. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function properly — for example, to allow you to log in to secure areas of our website or to remember items in your shopping cart. Other cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, so we can continually improve the experience we offer. We also use cookies for advertising purposes, to deliver relevant ads to you and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
Our use of cookies serves the following primary purposes:
- To ensure our website operates correctly and securely
- To remember your preferences and settings
- To analyze how our website is used and improve its performance
- To personalize content and advertisements based on your interests
- To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- To comply with legal obligations and protect against fraudulent activity
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use into the following types:
4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly, and we are unable to obtain your consent before placing them.
4.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect 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 features may not function properly. These cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, your location, or customizations you have made to text size and other parts of web pages.
4.4 Advertising / 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.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies at any time, doing so may have a significant impact on your experience of our website and the services we provide. Below we outline the potential effects of disabling each category of cookies:
Essential Cookies
If you disable essential cookies, you may be unable to use critical features of our website, including placing food orders, logging into your account, and using the shopping cart. Forms may not submit correctly, and security features such as CSRF protection will not function, potentially exposing you to security risks.
Analytics Cookies
Disabling analytics cookies means we cannot collect aggregated data about how visitors use our website. This will limit our ability to understand user behavior and improve our website's performance and content. Your browsing experience will not be significantly impacted, but we will lose valuable insights needed to enhance our services.
Functional Cookies
Disabling functional cookies may result in a less personalized experience. Features such as saved language preferences, remembered user settings, and retained shopping cart contents across sessions may not work properly. You may need to re-enter preferences every time you visit our website.
Advertising Cookies
Disabling advertising cookies means you will continue to see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see ads for products or services that do not apply to you. Disabling these cookies will not reduce the number of ads you see, only their relevance.
9. Cookies and Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), if we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 through cookies or otherwise, we will promptly delete that information.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information through cookie-related tracking, please contact us at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.
