1. Introduction
Welcome to anthonyscoalpizzas.digital, the official digital presence of Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, why we use them, and what choices you have regarding their use.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together describe our overall approach to your personal information and your rights as a user of our website and services.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, you can contact us at any time using the details provided at the end of this document.
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 by website owners and third-party service providers to make websites function properly, work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies allow a website to recognize your device over a period of time. Each cookie typically contains the following information:
- The name of the server that placed the cookie
- A unique identifier (a string of numbers and letters)
- An expiration date (after which the cookie is automatically deleted)
- Various attributes depending on the cookie's purpose
Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Some cookies are placed by us (first-party cookies), and others are placed by third-party services operating on our website (third-party cookies).
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit anthonyscoalpizzas.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie and sends it back to our server on every subsequent request. This allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor, remember your preferences, understand how you navigate our website, and deliver content and advertisements relevant to your interests.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They are purely text-based files and pose no security risk to your device.
2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
There are two main categories based on duration:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to track your activity during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after you close your browser until they expire or you delete them. They allow us to recognize you when you return to our website and remember your preferences.
3. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use the following similar technologies on our website:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page or email has been opened and to log certain browsing activity.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
- JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that run on our website and collect information about how you interact with our content.
- Device Fingerprinting: A method of identifying a device based on its unique configuration, used primarily for security and fraud prevention purposes.
For the purposes of this policy, all references to "cookies" also include these similar tracking technologies unless stated otherwise.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use on anthonyscoalpizzas.digital into four main types:
4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic operation of our website. Without them, our website cannot function properly. They enable core functionalities such as security, network management, and account access. You cannot opt out of these cookies as they are required for the website to operate.
Examples of what essential cookies do on our site:
- Enable you to navigate between pages and use website features
- Remember items you have added to an online order or reservation
- Maintain your session when you log into your account
- Support website security and fraud prevention measures
4.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on a page, and whether visitors receive error messages. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — it does not identify you personally. We use this data to improve how our website works and to understand user behavior.
We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used analytics platforms, to collect this data on our behalf.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location, language settings, or saved menu preferences) and to provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on content. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
4.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information, which may include certain advertising cookies. Please see Section 7 for more information on how to exercise these rights.
