1. Introduction
Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website located at anthonypizzas.rest. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control your cookie preferences.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing fair and transparent consumer practices.
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 placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information to site owners.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you are visiting and are delivered to your browser. Your browser then stores the cookie and sends it back to the originating server each time you revisit the website. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred settings or items in a shopping cart.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you access anthonypizzas.rest, our servers or authorized third-party services may place one or more cookies on your device. Each cookie contains a unique identifier that allows our website or the third-party service to recognize your browser. The information stored in cookies may include:
- Your session identifier (to keep you logged in or maintain your preferences during a visit)
- Your language or regional preferences
- Information about how you arrived at our website (e.g., via a search engine or advertisement)
- Pages you visited and how long you spent on them
- Items you placed in a cart or form data you partially completed
- Technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system
Cookies themselves do not contain or reveal your name, email address, or other directly identifying personal information unless you have provided that information to us separately through a form or account registration.
2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza (the website you are visiting). They are used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our site.
Third-party cookies are set by external organizations — such as Google, Meta (Facebook), or other advertising and analytics providers — whose code or content appears on our website. These third parties may use cookies to collect data about your online behavior across different websites, which helps them deliver targeted advertising and analytical insights.
2.3 Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device automatically when you close your browser. They enable the website to track your actions during a single browsing session.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (defined by the cookie's expiration date) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza uses four primary categories of cookies on anthonypizzas.rest. Below, we describe each category and its purpose.
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website would not work. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under most applicable frameworks; however, we still disclose them here in the interest of full transparency.
Examples of what essential cookies do on our site:
- Maintain the security of your session
- Enable you to navigate between pages without losing your progress
- Remember your cookie consent choices
- Support online ordering or reservation functionality
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 move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and, where possible, anonymized. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose, which is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how users interact with our website and compiles statistical reports on website activity.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. These cookies allow us to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or whether you have accepted our cookie notice) and provide more personalized features. If you do not allow these cookies, 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, including Google and Meta (Facebook). They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. 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.
