1. Introduction

Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website located at anthonyscfpizza.rest.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and store information about visitors and customers who interact with our digital platforms.

We encourage you to read this Cookie Policy carefully. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

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 and operators to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to the browser. The browser then stores the cookie as a small file. Each time you revisit the website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you directly, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. 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.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie locally on your device. On your next visit, your browser automatically sends the stored cookie back to our server, which recognizes your device based on the cookie data.

Cookies can serve various functions depending on their type and configuration:

  • Session Management: Cookies help maintain your session as you navigate through our website, keeping you logged in and preserving your preferences.
  • Personalization: Cookies remember your settings and preferences to provide a customized experience on subsequent visits.
  • Tracking and Analytics: Cookies collect data about how you interact with our website, helping us understand user behavior and improve our services.
  • Advertising: Cookies help us deliver relevant advertisements to you based on your interests and browsing history.

Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code or deliver viruses. They are purely data storage mechanisms that serve to enhance your browsing experience and help us operate our website effectively.
