1. Introduction

Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at pizz-anthonys.digital and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

At Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, we are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. Whether you are browsing our menu, placing an online order, or simply exploring our story, we want you to understand how data is collected during your visit and how it helps us deliver a better experience for you.

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 efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our website and also when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies can be session cookies, which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. Each cookie typically contains the following information:

The name of the cookie
The value stored in the cookie (usually a unique identifier)
The domain the cookie belongs to
An expiration date (for persistent cookies)
A path attribute indicating the URL path the cookie is valid for

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags), local storage, and session storage. These technologies function similarly to cookies and allow us to monitor website traffic and interactions.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza uses cookies for a variety of reasons, including:

To keep our website functioning properly: Some cookies are essential to the operation of our website. Without them, certain features — such as the online ordering system or your shopping cart — would not work.
To analyze and improve our website: Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are most popular, and where users encounter difficulties. This data allows us to continuously improve our site.
To remember your preferences: Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you have made — such as your language preference or your nearest restaurant location — so that your next visit is more personalized.
To deliver relevant advertising: Advertising cookies help us show you relevant promotions and advertisements, both on our website and on third-party platforms.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on pizz-anthonys.digital into four main types:

4.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function 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 out forms. Without these cookies, basic services you have asked for cannot be provided.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are exempt from consent requirements under applicable law.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics 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 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

Functional 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. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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 websites. They do not store directly 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.
