1. Introduction

Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website foodacfp.click, and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to transparency and protecting your privacy in accordance with 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, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on consumer privacy and data protection.

At Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, we believe in providing our guests with a seamless and enjoyable online experience — whether you are browsing our menu, locating one of our restaurants, placing an online order, or exploring our latest promotions. Cookies play an important role in making this experience possible. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website.

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 in your web browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies were originally designed to help websites function efficiently and to improve the user experience by remembering your preferences and actions over time.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the server that placed the cookie
  • A unique identifier (a string of characters)
  • An expiration date (which determines how long the cookie stays on your device)
  • Certain technical information about your browser and device

Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are not used to identify you personally unless you have provided personal information voluntarily (such as through creating an account or placing an order).

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza (via foodacfp.click) and are only readable by our website. They are primarily used to improve your experience and help our website function properly.

Third-party cookies are set by external organizations whose services we incorporate into our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. These third parties may also use the information collected through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate between pages on our website.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period (as defined in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. These cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences.

3. How We Use Cookies

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for a variety of purposes, all aimed at improving our services and your experience on foodacfp.click. We categorize our use of cookies into four main types:

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website, such as the online ordering system, shopping cart, and login functionality, would not work correctly. These cookies do not collect information about you that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your ability to use our website.

Examples of what essential cookies do:

  • Remember items you have added to your online order
  • Maintain your logged-in status as you navigate the site
  • Ensure secure connections during transactions
  • Balance server loads to ensure site stability

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors interact with our website, helping us improve its performance and content. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data to understand which pages are most popular, how visitors navigate the site, and where improvements can be made.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help analyze how users use our site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your preferred location, language settings, or previously viewed menu items. While these cookies are not strictly essential, disabling them may affect the quality of your user experience.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They also help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. Advertising cookies may be set by us or by our advertising partners (such as Google Ads and Facebook) and may track your browsing activity across multiple websites. The information collected is used to build a profile of your interests and to show you targeted ads.
