Last Updated: April 22, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website anthonyscoal-pizza.top, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or manage them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

We are committed to transparency about our data practices. As an operator of a food service website in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding fair and transparent data practices.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please 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 to make websites work efficiently, improve functionality, and provide reporting information. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing activity.

Cookies are created by your web browser and stored locally on your device. Each cookie typically contains the following information:

  • The name of the cookie
  • The value stored in the cookie (a unique identifier or preference setting)
  • The domain that set the cookie
  • An expiration date (after which the cookie is automatically deleted)
  • Flags indicating security settings (e.g., whether the cookie is secure or HTTP-only)

Cookies set by the website you are visiting directly are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies are commonly used for advertising and analytics purposes.

2.1 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser and are typically used to maintain your session state as you navigate through the website (for example, keeping items in your online order as you browse the menu).

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie itself. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. Persistent cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences for future visits.

3. How We Use Cookies

At Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, we use cookies for several important purposes that help us deliver a seamless, personalized, and high-quality online experience for our customers. Specifically, we use cookies to:

  • Ensure our website functions correctly and securely
  • Remember your preferences, such as your preferred location or menu settings
  • Analyze how visitors use our website so we can improve its performance and content
  • Deliver relevant advertising and promotional content about our restaurant offerings
  • Facilitate online ordering and reservation processes
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • Prevent fraud and enhance the security of our website
  • Comply with our legal obligations under applicable United States law

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, core features of our website — such as the online ordering system, shopping cart functionality, and secure login areas — would not function properly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services you have requested, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, you can still disable them through your browser settings (though doing so will significantly impair your ability to use the website).

4.2 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, how visitors move around the site, and whether visitors encounter any error messages. All information collected by these cookies 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

These 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 remember choices you make (such as your preferred restaurant location, language preferences, or whether you prefer to view our full menu or a simplified version) so that we can provide a more personalized experience. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are 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. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Note that under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have specific rights regarding cookies that share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, which may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under California law.

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites indicating that you do not want to be tracked.
