Last Updated: March 22, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website (anthonycoalpizzas.click), what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use to collect data when you visit our website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail about how we handle your personal information.

Our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies is governed by applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other applicable regulations. We are committed to complying with all relevant legal requirements regarding data collection and user privacy.

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 across the internet and serve a variety of important functions that help websites work properly and more efficiently.

When you visit anthonycoalpizzas.click, our web server may send a cookie to your browser, which then stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies can also be classified by how long they remain on your device:

  • Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your movements from page to page so you are not asked for information you have already provided during that visit.
  • Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time after the browser is closed. They are activated each time you visit the website that created the cookie. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and fingerprinting technologies. These technologies work in similar ways to cookies and are used for similar purposes.

3. How We Use Cookies

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza uses cookies for several important purposes, including:

  • Ensuring our website functions correctly and securely
  • Remembering your preferences and settings to improve your browsing experience
  • Understanding how visitors use our website so we can improve it
  • Delivering relevant advertisements and promotional content
  • Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • Enabling social media sharing features
  • Preventing fraud and enhancing the security of our website
  • Processing online orders and managing your account information

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types, each serving a distinct purpose:

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or to remember where you have been on the internet.

Essential cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account authentication. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they cannot be disabled without severely affecting the performance and functionality of the site. You may set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not work as a result.

4.2 Analytics and Performance 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 to know 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.

We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used analytics services on the internet, to help us understand how our customers use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our website, including your IP address. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

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. However, your browsing experience will not be affected.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our website and allow us to personalize content for you. They enable us to remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website pages. If you disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our website may be less personalized.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and deliver targeted advertising on Google's network of partner websites. We may also use cookies from social media platforms such as Facebook to deliver targeted advertising and measure campaign effectiveness.
