At meals-dions.click, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing activity. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and describes the types of cookies and similar technologies we deploy, why we use them, and how you can exercise your choices regarding their use.

This policy applies to all users accessing our website from the United States and is designed to comply with applicable U.S. federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, and other relevant consumer protection regulations.

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 operators to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information to site owners.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or previous actions.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit meals-dions.click, our servers may place one or more cookies on your device. Here is a simplified explanation of the process:

1. Your browser sends a request to our web server to load our website.
2. Our server responds by sending the web page content along with one or more cookie files.
3. Your browser stores these cookies on your device.
4. On your next visit, your browser sends the stored cookies back to our server along with the page request.
5. Our server reads the cookies and uses the information to personalize your experience or gather analytics data.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

Cookies can be categorized based on how long they remain on your device:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate our website.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

2.3 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

• First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by meals-dions.click and are only readable by our website.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services that appear on our pages, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms. Third parties may use these cookies to track your browsing activity across multiple websites.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other tracking technologies on our website, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that track page visits or email opens.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data on your device without an expiration date.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about your interactions with our website.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on meals-dions.click:

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

They remember that you have visited our website and may share this information with third-party organizations such as advertisers.
