1. Introduction

Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza's Cookie Policy. At Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to the website pizza-anthonyscoalfired.click (referred to as "our website," "the Site," or "the Platform") and explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. Together, these documents form our complete disclosure regarding data practices on our website.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, you may 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 in order to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to the website owner about how visitors interact with the site.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and delivered to the browser you use to access the site. The browser then stores the cookie on your device. The next time you visit the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and recall your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you as an individual. However, personal data that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties such as analytics providers or advertising networks (known as "third-party cookies").

2.1 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

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

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to track your activity within a single browsing session, such as keeping track of items you have added to an order or maintaining your login status during a visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (as specified in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings on return visits, recognize you as a returning user, and collect information about your browsing behavior over time.

2.2 Similar Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether you have opened an email or visited a specific page.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, functioning similarly to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code embedded in web pages that collect information about how visitors interact with the site.

All references to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.

3. Why We Use Cookies

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza uses cookies for a variety of reasons. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly, while others are used to enhance your experience, help us understand how visitors use our site, or deliver relevant advertising. Specifically, we use cookies to:

  • Ensure our website operates correctly and securely
  • Remember your preferences and settings during and between visits
  • Understand how visitors navigate and interact with our website
  • Improve the performance and functionality of our website
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • Deliver personalized advertisements based on your interests
  • Enable social media features and integrations

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our website into four main types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising cookies. Below, we describe each category in detail.

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as "strictly necessary" cookies) are required for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, services that are necessary for you to use our website — such as navigating between pages, submitting forms, or accessing secure areas — would not be available. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled through our cookie settings, as doing so would prevent the website from operating correctly.

Essential cookies are used to:

  • Enable secure log-in to any account areas
  • Remember your session as you move between pages
  • Store your cookie consent preferences
  • Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
  • Support the ordering and checkout process for online food orders

4.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may be used to remember your language preferences, your region or location, or to provide live chat functionality. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Functional cookies are used to:

  • Remember your preferences such as language or region
  • Store your order preferences (e.g., delivery vs. pickup)
  • Provide personalized content based on past visits
  • Enable live chat or customer support features

4.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether they encounter any error messages. This information helps us understand and improve the performance of our website. All data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized where possible.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand visitor behavior. Google Analytics places several cookies on your device to track how you interact with our website.

4.4 Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies (also known as targeting or marketing 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 typically placed by third-party advertising networks with the permission of the website operator.

We use Google Ads and may use Facebook Pixel and other advertising platforms to help us reach customers who have previously visited our website or who may be interested in our food offerings.

Essential Cookies The website may not function properly. You may be unable to navigate between pages, place online orders, log in to your account, or use secure features of the site. We strongly recommend keeping essential cookies enabled.
Functional Cookies Your preferences and personalization settings will not be saved between visits. You may need to re-enter your preferences (such as delivery location or language) each time you visit our website.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to collect data about how you use our website, which limits our ability to improve our services and user experience. However, disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the website.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads more frequently, and we will be unable to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. Disabling advertising cookies does not disable advertising altogether.

9. Third-Party Cookies and External Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy or cookie policies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party site you visit.

Third-party services currently integrated into our website that may place cookies on your device include:

10. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the cookie management tools described in Section 7 of this policy to control tracking on our website.
