Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at pizz-anthonys.top and explains in detail what cookies are, how we use them, 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 on our website. Whether you are browsing our menu, placing an online order, reading about our coal-fired cooking methods, or simply looking for your nearest Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza location, our website may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site performance, and deliver relevant advertising.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored in your web browser and allow the website (or third parties) to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies serve many different purposes. Some cookies are essential for the website to function properly, while others help us understand how visitors interact with our site, remember your preferences, or show you relevant advertisements. Cookies generally do not contain personally identifiable information by themselves, but they may be linked to information you provide to us directly.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit pizz-anthonys.top, our web server sends a small cookie file to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit, your browser sends that cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and recall your previous actions or preferences.

Some cookies are deleted automatically once you close your browser — these are called session cookies. Others remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them — these are called persistent cookies.

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

  • First-party cookies are set directly by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza via our website, pizz-anthonys.top.
  • Third-party cookies are set by external services (such as Google, Facebook, or analytics providers) that we integrate into our website to help us analyze traffic, deliver advertisements, and enhance functionality.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

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

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, core features such as page navigation, secure login, online ordering, and shopping cart functionality would not work correctly.

Examples of what these cookies do:

  • Maintain your session while you browse the website
  • Enable online ordering and cart management
  • Remember your location preferences for finding the nearest restaurant
  • Ensure website security and prevent fraudulent activity

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve the performance of pizz-anthonys.top, identify popular menu items, track page load times, and understand which areas of our site are most visited.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics collects data such as the pages you visited, how long you spent on each page, what device and browser you used, and your approximate geographic location (at the country or city level).

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalization on our website. They remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, location, or previously selected menu options, so that you have a smoother and more personalized experience the next time you visit.

Examples include:

  • Remembering your preferred restaurant location
  • Saving your order preferences or dietary selections
  • Enabling embedded content such as maps or videos

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful to you. These cookies track your browsing behavior across websites and allow advertisers, including Google and Facebook, to show you personalized ads based on your interests and online activity.

We use Google Ads and may use Facebook Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show you targeted promotions for Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, including special deals, new menu items, and seasonal offers.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific rights regarding the use of their personal information for advertising purposes. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more details.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. Currently, there is no universally agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.
