Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website anthonysdining.click, and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

At Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, we are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. Cookies and similar tracking technologies help us provide you with a better, more personalized experience when you visit our website to browse our menu, place orders, make reservations, or simply learn more about our food and locations.

This Cookie Policy applies to all users who access our website from the United States. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you have the right to disable or restrict them using the methods described later in 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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

When you visit anthonysdining.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they can be linked to personal data that you provide to us or that we collect through other means. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer — they are simply data files.

2.1 Types of Cookies by Origin

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza (via anthonysdining.click). They are used to improve your experience on our website.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external service providers (such as Google or social media platforms) that appear on our website. We do not have direct control over these cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate through our website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user behavior and email open rates.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about how you interact with our website.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device to create a unique identifier.

Throughout this policy, when we refer to "cookies," we are referring to all of these similar technologies collectively, unless stated otherwise.

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on anthonysdining.click. Below is a detailed explanation of each category and why we use them.

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are absolutely essential for our website to function properly. Without them, our website cannot operate, and services you have specifically requested (such as placing an online order or logging into your account) cannot be provided. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Essential cookies are used for purposes such as:

  • Maintaining your session as you navigate through our website
  • Remembering items in your online order cart
  • Ensuring the website is secure and preventing fraudulent activity
  • Enabling you to log into your account
  • Balancing website traffic loads to ensure performance and stability

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, we do not require your consent to set them. However, you can block or delete them through your browser settings, but this may prevent the website from working properly.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve the functionality and content of our website to better serve your needs.

We primarily use Google Analytics to collect this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to track information such as:

  • The number of visitors to our website
  • Which pages are most frequently visited
  • How long visitors spend on each page
  • Where visitors come from (search engines, social media, direct links, etc.)
  • Which devices and browsers are used to access our website
  • How users navigate through our website

All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. No individual user can be identified from this data. We use this information solely to improve our website's performance and user experience.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies enable us to tailor the website experience to your individual preferences.

Functional cookies are used for purposes such as:

  • Remembering your language and region preferences
  • Remembering your preferred location or restaurant branch
  • Saving your login information so you do not have to re-enter it each visit
  • Personalizing content based on your browsing history
  • Storing your dietary preferences or order history for easier reordering

If you choose not to accept functional cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly, and your browsing experience may be less personalized.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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.

These cookies are usually placed by our advertising partners (such as Google Ads and Meta/Facebook) and remember that you have visited our website. The information gathered may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers, to deliver targeted advertisements both on and off our website.

Advertising cookies are used for purposes such as:

  • Displaying ads for Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza across the internet after you visit our website (remarketing)
