Last Updated: June 5, 2026

1. Introduction

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

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is committed to transparency about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern our relationship with visitors and customers of our Website.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

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 operators to make websites function more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect analytical information about how visitors interact with websites.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored for a defined period of time. Each time you return to the website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visits.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit coalfiredpizza-anthonys.digital, our servers may place one or more cookies on your device. These cookies may:

  • Remember your preferences and settings so you do not have to re-enter them on future visits
  • Keep you logged in to any account or loyalty program features
  • Track which pages you visit and how long you spend on each page
  • Analyze how you navigate through our Website to help us improve its structure and content
  • Enable us to display relevant advertising based on your interests
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza via our Website. They are used primarily to enable core functionality and improve your experience on our site.

Third-party cookies are set by external services and partners (such as Google, Facebook, or other advertising networks) that provide functionality or features on our Website. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them.

2.3 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They help our website remember your actions during a single browsing session.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (or until you delete them). They help our website recognize you on return visits and remember your preferences over time.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on coalfiredpizza-anthonys.digital:

Without them, services you have requested — such as placing an online order, navigating the menu, or accessing secure areas of the site — cannot be provided.

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 integrated into our pages.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called targeting or marketing cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests.

These cookies are usually set by advertising networks with our permission.

We may use cookies from the following advertising platforms:

  • Google Ads — to measure conversions and serve targeted advertisements

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you are free to manage and restrict cookie use on our Website, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience in the following ways:

  • Essential cookies disabled: If you block essential cookies, our Website may not function correctly. You may be unable to place online orders, your cart contents may not be saved between pages, and security features may not work properly.
  • Functional cookies disabled: Disabling functional cookies means that features such as remembering your preferred restaurant location or your dietary filter preferences will not be saved. You may need to re-enter this information every time you visit.
  • Analytics cookies disabled: Disabling analytics cookies means we will not be able to monitor how visitors use our Website. This limits our ability to identify and fix issues or improve the user experience, but it will not affect your ability to use the site.
  • Advertising cookies disabled: If you opt out of advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements online, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same advertisements more frequently since frequency capping will not be active for your browser.

8. Cookies and Children's Privacy

Our Website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information through our Website, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action.
