Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This policy applies to our website located at acfp-eat.top and all associated subdomains and web pages operated by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. Please read this Cookie Policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service to fully understand how we handle your data and online experience.

2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, 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 (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website for the first time, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences. Cookies cannot access other information stored on your device, and they cannot carry viruses or install malicious software on your device.
Cookies may be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period of time or until you manually delete them.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website.

The information collected by these cookies is usually anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. These cookies may track your browsing across different websites.
