Last Updated: June 12, 2026
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 (acfpizza.rest), and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and how they impact your browsing experience on our site.
At Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience on our website, analyze site traffic, personalize content, and deliver relevant advertising. This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access or use our website.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. If you have any questions about how we use 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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide useful features and functionality, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts a website and are sent to your browser (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge) when you visit that site. Your browser then stores these cookies on your device. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookies back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences.
Cookies can be categorized in several ways:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate a website, for example, keeping items in your shopping cart.
- 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 settings for future visits.
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, acfpizza.rest).
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting. For example, if our website includes content from Google Analytics or Facebook, those services may set their own cookies on your device.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and tracking scripts to collect information about your use of our website. For the purposes of this policy, we refer to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."
3. Why We Use Cookies
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza uses cookies for a variety of important purposes, including:
- Ensuring the essential functionality of our website, such as enabling navigation and secure access to certain areas.
- Remembering your preferences, such as language settings and location, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit.
- Analyzing how visitors use our website so we can improve its structure, content, and performance.
- Delivering relevant and personalized advertising content based on your interests and browsing behavior.
- Enabling social media features and integrations on our site.
- Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and promotions.
- Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity and ensuring website security.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use on acfpizza.rest into four main types:
4.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, core services like navigation, form submissions, and secure logins would not work. Essential cookies do not require your consent as they are integral to the operation of the site. They do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.
Examples include cookies that remember items you have added to your cart, authenticate your login session, or maintain your security settings.
4.2 Analytics 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 structure, content, and usability of our site. We use tools such as Google Analytics to gather this information.
The data collected includes information such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, where visitors come from, and what devices they use to access our website.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of web pages.
The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same advertisement from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
We may use Google Ads and other advertising partners to serve targeted advertisements on our website and across the internet. These cookies track your visits to acfpizza.rest and other websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads.

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, doing so may have a significant impact on your experience when using our website. Below is a summary of how disabling different types of cookies may affect your use of acfpizza.rest:
