Last Updated: March 28, 2026

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 explains what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we place on your device, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit anthonypizza.top. Together, these documents give you a complete picture of our data practices.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other tracking technologies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect analytical and behavioral information.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you visit, and they are stored in your browser's designated storage area. Each time you return to that website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, which allows the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you on their own. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This is explained in more detail throughout this policy.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit our website at anthonypizza.top, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser automatically sends this cookie back to our server. This process allows us to:

  • Keep you signed in to your account (if applicable)
  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Analyze how you use our website so we can improve it
  • Deliver relevant advertising content to you
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • Prevent fraud and enhance the security of our website

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are cookies set directly by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza (i.e., set by anthonypizza.top). These cookies are used to operate and improve our website and to remember your preferences.

Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than anthonypizza.top. These are typically set by our trusted service providers and advertising partners, such as Google and Meta (Facebook), to help us understand how visitors interact with our site and to deliver relevant advertising.

2.3 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session on our website during a single visit.

Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, for a defined period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember you on return visits and to serve various functions described in this policy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose, as described below.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without them, our website cannot operate correctly, and certain features or services you have requested cannot be provided. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies do not require your consent, although you are still informed about them through this policy.

Essential cookies help with things like:

  • Maintaining your session as you move from page to page
  • Remembering items in your online order cart
  • Ensuring security and preventing fraudulent activity
  • Enabling you to access secure areas of the website

3.2 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 understand which pages are the most and least popular, and how visitors navigate the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not be able to include your visit in our statistics or monitor the performance of our website effectively.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our 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. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

Examples of functionality provided by these cookies include:

  • Remembering your language preference
  • Remembering your location so we can show you the nearest Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza location
  • Storing your preferences for menu customization or accessibility settings
  • Enabling embedded media such as videos or maps

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are placed on our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, but you will still see ads.

We use Google Ads and related platforms to run targeted advertising campaigns. Information collected by these cookies may be shared with our advertising partners.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the use of advertising cookies may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. California residents have the right to opt out of this activity. Please refer to Section 6 of this policy for more information on how to exercise your rights.
