Last Updated: April 15, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy describes how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at anthonyspizza.world (the "Website"). This policy is intended to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use.

We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing activity. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle your personal data.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

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 to make their websites work, operate more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.

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 — for example, advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our Website for the first time, your browser sends a request to our web server. The server responds by sending back the webpage along with one or more cookies. Your browser stores these cookies on your device. The next time you visit our Website, your browser sends these stored cookies back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions.

Cookies generally do not contain information that personally identifies you. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. The information stored in cookies may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, device information, and browsing behavior on our Website.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our Website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images or code embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page or email has been accessed or opened.
  • Local Storage: A feature of modern web browsers that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond the session.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
  • JavaScript Tags: Short snippets of code that allow us to track user interactions and collect data for analytics purposes.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our Website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility.

Essential cookies help us ensure that:

  • You can navigate through pages securely

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages they visit most often, and whether they encounter any error messages. We use this information to improve the performance and usability of our Website. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to help analyze how users interact with our Website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. No personally identifiable information is collected by Google Analytics as part of our implementation.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your location, language preferences, or menu selections) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, functional cookies may remember your preferred restaurant location or remember items you have added to an online order. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting 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. We may work with third-party advertising partners, including Google and Facebook (Meta), who may place these cookies on our Website.

Advertising cookies remember that you have visited our Website and may share this information with other organizations, such as advertising networks. This means that after visiting our Website, you may see advertisements about Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza on other websites.
