By continuing to browse or use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our website.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.
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. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable certain functionalities.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit our website, your browser sends a request to our web server. Our server then sends a response that may include a cookie file stored in your browser. The next time you visit our website, your browser will automatically send the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit.
Cookies can store a variety of information, including your preferences, login status, shopping cart contents, and browsing behavior. This information helps us provide you with a more personalized and seamless experience when you visit our website.
2.2 Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user interactions and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
- Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is only stored for the duration of your browser session and is deleted when you close your browser.
- JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about your browsing behavior and interactions with our website.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use into four main types, each serving a different purpose. Understanding these categories will help you make informed decisions about your cookie preferences.
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the basic functioning of our website. They enable you to navigate our site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas, submitting contact forms, or placing online orders. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like maintaining your session, cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather any information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of our website and services, they are always active and cannot be disabled through our cookie consent mechanism. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not work as a result.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We use Google Analytics to analyze how users interact with our website. Google Analytics places several cookies on your device to track your browsing behavior, including the pages you visit, the links you click, and the duration of your visit. This information helps us understand user behavior and improve our website's content and functionality.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly. These cookies may be used to remember your preferences, such as your preferred language, location, or order history, making your experience on our website more convenient and personalized.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same advertisement from continuously reappearing, ensuring that advertisements are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, such as Google Ads and Facebook. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
These cookies do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising across the web.
