This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This policy applies to all users of our website and is part of our broader commitment to protecting your privacy. We encourage you to read this Cookie Policy carefully along with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our digital platforms.

2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, function more efficiently, and to provide reporting information. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, or items you have added to a shopping cart.
Cookies are created by the web server and stored on your device's browser. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and personalize your experience accordingly.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit dions.top for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. When you revisit the site, your browser sends this cookie back to our server. This exchange of information allows us to:
- Recognize you as a returning visitor
- Remember your preferences and settings
- Analyze how you interact with our website
- Provide personalized content and advertisements
- Improve the overall performance of our website
2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Dions when you visit our website. These cookies are managed and controlled entirely by us.
Third-party cookies are set by external organizations other than Dions. These third parties may include analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms. We do not control these cookies; they are governed by the respective third parties' privacy and cookie policies.
2.3 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They allow us to link your actions during a single browsing session.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. These cookies are reactivated each time you visit our website and help us recognize you as a returning visitor.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on dions.top. Below is a detailed explanation of each category and its purpose:
3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website would not work. Essential cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled without affecting the functionality of the site. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling out forms, or setting privacy preferences.
Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function, they are deployed without requiring your consent under applicable U.S. laws, including guidance from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count page visits, track traffic sources, and analyze visitor behavior so we can improve the performance and content of our website. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.
These cookies collect information such as the pages you visit, the time you spend on each page, the links you click, and where you came from. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred language, your location, or your login status. These cookies can also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post.
The information collected by these cookies may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies
Advertising 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. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission and may share information with other organizations such as advertisers.
We use Google Ads and other third-party advertising platforms that may set cookies on your device when you visit our website.
