Cookie Policy
Effective Date: May 10, 2026 | Last Updated: May 10, 2026
1. 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 websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, 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, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are either "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.
2. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website at acfp-eat.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.
Cookies work through the following general process:
- First Visit: When you visit our website for the first time, cookies are downloaded onto your device.
- Subsequent Visits: On your next visit, our server checks for any cookies previously set by our website and retrieves the stored information.
- Data Exchange: This allows us to tailor the website experience to your preferences, keep you logged in, and analyze how you use our site.
- Third-Party Interactions: Some cookies are placed by third parties, such as analytics providers and advertising networks, which may track your browsing activity across multiple websites.
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 you to browse our website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, certain services you have asked for, such as online ordering, cannot be provided.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages visitors go to most often and whether visitors get error messages from web pages. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works. We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the site.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your location, language preference, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, a website may be able to provide you with local restaurant information by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers. This means after visiting our website, you may see advertisements about Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza on other websites.
