Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 20, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your use of our website, acfp-meal.rest. This Cookie Policy forms part of our overall Privacy Policy and explains in detail what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website regardless of location, but is specifically designed to comply with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on online tracking and consumer protection.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our data practices, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

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. These files are created by the website's server and stored in your web browser. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies serve many important functions on the modern web. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in to accounts, understand how you navigate through pages, and deliver content that is relevant to your interests. Without cookies, many of the convenient features you enjoy on websites simply would not work.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit acfp-meal.rest, our web server may send one or more cookies to your browser. These cookies contain small pieces of data, typically in the form of a unique identifier. Your browser stores this data and sends it back to us whenever you make a subsequent request to our server. This process allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor, remember your preferences, and improve your overall browsing experience.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browsing session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time, even after you close your browser. They are reactivated each time you visit the website that placed them.

Cookies can also be categorized as first-party cookies (set directly by our website) or third-party cookies (set by external services and partners that provide functionality on our website, such as analytics platforms or advertising networks).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

At Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, we use several categories of cookies to deliver the best possible experience on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies, sometimes referred to as "strictly necessary" cookies, are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly, and services you have specifically requested — such as browsing our menu, placing an online order, or accessing secure areas of the site — cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and are not used for marketing purposes.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to work, they are placed on your device without requiring your consent. However, you can block them through your browser settings, though doing so may significantly impair your ability to use our website.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, any error messages encountered, and how users navigate through the site. All of this information is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify individual users.

We use this data to improve the performance and usability of our website, fix issues, and ensure we are providing content and features that are relevant and valuable to our visitors. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make during your visit — such as your preferred language, your location, or your dietary preferences when exploring our menu — and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to remember changes you make to text size, fonts, or other customizable parts of the website.

The information collected by these cookies may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies, also known as targeting cookies, are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are placed by advertising networks, such as Google Ads, with our permission. These cookies track your browsing habits across different websites, building a profile of your interests to display relevant advertising. They also help limit the number of times you see the same advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

These cookies are set by third-party advertising platforms, and information collected is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third parties directly.

5.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users interact with our website. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

When you click on one of our advertisements served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your device. This cookie expires after a set period and does not contain information that can personally identify you.

5.3 Facebook (Meta) Pixel

We may use the Facebook Pixel, a tool provided by Meta Platforms, Inc., to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. The Facebook Pixel may collect information about your actions on our website and transmit that information to Facebook.

Some web browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website currently does not alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.
