This Cookie Policy applies to the website anthonyscoal-pizza.digital (the "Website") operated by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza (referred to in this document as "we," "us," or "our"). This policy is designed to give you clear and transparent information about how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our Website.
By continuing to use our Website, you acknowledge and agree to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to the use of cookies, you may disable them by following the instructions provided in Section 7 of this policy. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our Website.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.
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. These files are stored locally on your device and contain information that can be read by the website that placed them or, in some cases, by third-party services.
Cookies serve many purposes. They help websites function correctly, remember your preferences, keep you logged in between visits, and allow website operators to understand how visitors interact with their site. Cookies are widely used across the internet and are an important part of how modern websites operate.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been viewed.
- Local Storage: Similar to cookies, but data is stored locally in your browser without expiration dates unless cleared manually.
- Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
- JavaScript Tags: Snippets of code that collect data about your browsing behavior and interactions with our Website.
For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
3. How Do Cookies Work?
When you first visit our Website, your browser sends a request to our web server. The server responds by sending back the webpage content along with one or more cookies. Your browser stores these cookies on your device. When you return to our Website, your browser automatically sends the stored cookies back to our server, which allows the site to recognize you and remember your preferences.
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"). First-party cookies are set by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza directly, while third-party cookies are set by external providers such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms.
Cookies can also be categorized by how long they persist on your device:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are reactivated when you return to the website that placed them.
