1. Introduction

Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on anthonyscoalpizzas.top, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and our collection and processing of your personal data. Our practices are governed by applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act with respect to consumer protection and unfair or deceptive practices.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies, please contact us at 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 their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and to deliver reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences and actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza) 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.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website anthonyscoalpizzas.top, our web server sends a cookie file to your device. Your browser stores this file. Each time you return to our website, your browser retrieves and sends the stored cookie information back to our server. This process allows us to:

  • Recognize you as a returning visitor
  • Remember your preferences (such as language settings or items in a cart)
  • Track your behavior on our website to improve user experience
  • Deliver relevant advertising content
  • Analyze and improve website performance
  • Maintain your login sessions where applicable

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They allow us to link your actions during a particular session and are essential for certain website functions, such as maintaining your shopping cart between pages.

Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them manually. They are activated each time you visit our website and help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are critical for the basic functionality of the website.

Without these cookies, services that you have asked for, such as accessing secure areas of the website or using our online ordering system, cannot be provided.

3.3 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 remember choices you make, such as your preferred 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.

3.4 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.
