Last Updated: March 25, 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 (anthonyscoalpizzas.rest), and the choices you have regarding their use. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to being transparent about the technologies we use to enhance your browsing experience and deliver our services to you effectively.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve our website's performance, understand how visitors interact with our platform, and deliver relevant content and advertising related to our coal-fired pizza offerings, online ordering, locations, and promotions. Please read this policy carefully to understand what data we collect through cookies and how it is used.
This Cookie Policy forms part of our overall Privacy Policy and is governed by applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act for general consumer protection standards.
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. These files are created by the website you visit and stored in your web browser. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information about your preferences or actions.
Cookies serve many purposes. Some cookies are essential for a website to function properly — for example, they allow you to stay logged into your account or keep items in your online shopping cart. Other cookies help website owners understand how visitors use their sites, which pages are most popular, or whether users encounter any errors. Still other cookies are used to deliver targeted advertising based on your browsing behavior.
Cookies are generally not harmful. They do not contain viruses or malicious software and cannot access other files on your device. However, they do collect and store data, which is why we want to be fully transparent about how we use them.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit anthonyscoalpizzas.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this file back to our server, allowing us to recognize you, recall your preferences, and provide a more personalized experience.
Cookies may be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. Both types are used on our website for different purposes.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs"), local storage, and scripts. These technologies work in similar ways to cookies and are often used in conjunction with them. For simplicity, we refer to all these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on anthonyscoalpizzas.rest into four main types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising. Each type serves a distinct purpose, as described below.
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies, also called "strictly necessary" cookies, are required for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our website — such as online ordering, account login, and secure checkout — would not work. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings.
Examples of essential functions supported by these cookies include: maintaining your session while you place a pizza order, remembering items in your cart, and ensuring secure transmission of data between your browser and our servers.
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make — such as your preferred location, language settings, or previously saved order preferences — and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our website.
For example, if you frequently order from a specific Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza location, a functional cookie may remember that preference so you don't have to select it every visit.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors stay on each page, where visitors come from, and whether they encounter any errors. This data allows us to continuously improve our website's performance and user experience.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect this type of data. Google Analytics uses cookies to generate statistical reports about website traffic and usage patterns. The information collected is aggregated and anonymized wherever possible.
3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising cookies (also called targeting cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. These cookies track your browsing activity across websites and allow advertisers to show you personalized ads based on the pages you have visited and the actions you have taken online.
We use Google Ads and may also use Facebook Pixel and other third-party advertising platforms to display promotions for Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza to users who have previously visited our website or shown interest in similar food and dining content.
