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.
