Last Updated: June 4, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at coalfiredpizza-anthonys.rest and all associated subdomains and services (collectively, the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we place on your device, and how you can control or disable them.
We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your use of our Website. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device ("device") when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners and operators to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and to personalize your experience.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website you are visiting are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through a website — for example, 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.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit our Website for the first time, your browser sends a request to our server. Our server then sends back a cookie file, which is stored by your browser on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser automatically sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide you with a better experience.
Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address), but only if you provide such information and only if the website is set up to store it in a cookie. The website can only access information that you have provided; it cannot retrieve any other information from your device or read any other cookie files created by other websites.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our Website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included on our Website and in our email messages. These are used to count the number of users who have visited specific pages, to deliver or communicate with cookies, and to understand usage patterns.
- Local Storage: Technologies similar to cookies that store data locally in your browser, allowing us to remember your preferences and settings across sessions.
- Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser, used for maintaining session state during your visit.
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza uses cookies for several important reasons:
- To ensure our Website operates correctly and securely
- To remember your preferences and settings, improving your experience on return visits
- To understand how visitors use our Website so we can improve its performance and content
- To deliver relevant advertising and promotional content about our pizza restaurant and menu offerings
- To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- To enable social media sharing and interactive features
- To protect against fraud and ensure the security of our Website
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We classify the cookies we use into the following categories:
4.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our Website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in to an account, filling in forms, or placing an online order. Without these cookies, our Website cannot function properly, and services you have asked for cannot be provided.
Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent under applicable law. However, we list them here in the interest of full transparency.
4.2 Analytics and 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. These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
4.4 Advertising and 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 directly store 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.
