1. Introduction
Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza (referred to herein as "we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, anthonycoalfiredpizza.click (the "Site"). We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can manage your preferences.
By continuing to browse or use our Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies as described here, you may disable cookies through your browser settings or opt out using the tools described in this document.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our Site and our handling of your personal information.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how visitors interact with their site.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember relevant information about your visit.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the website.
- Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and recognize you on return visits.
- First-party cookies: Set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, anthonycoalfiredpizza.click).
- Third-party cookies: Set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically used for advertising and analytics purposes by third-party service providers.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags), local storage objects, and scripts. For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
