Last Updated: May 6, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to acfp-eat.click, the official online presence of Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website and how they affect your experience. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and describes in detail our use of cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar tracking technologies (collectively referred to as "cookies") when you visit our website at acfp-eat.click.

By continuing to use our website after being presented with our cookie notice, you acknowledge and consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or use the opt-out tools described in this document. Please note, however, that disabling certain cookies may impact the functionality of our website.

For any questions about this Cookie Policy, you may 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 to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and gather analytical data about how users interact with the site.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember information about your previous visit — such as items in your shopping cart, language preferences, or login status.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be classified based on who sets them:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza (via acfp-eat.click) when you visit our website. They are used to make our website function properly and to remember your preferences.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than acfp-eat.click. They are typically placed by our trusted third-party service providers — such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms — for purposes like analytics and advertising. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are used to track your movements from page to page so you don't have to re-enter information you've already provided during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. How We Use Cookies

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza uses cookies for several important purposes. Our use of cookies helps us to:

  • Ensure the essential functionality of our website, including online ordering and reservation systems.
  • Remember your preferences, such as your location, preferred restaurant location, and menu filters.
  • Understand how visitors use our website through aggregated analytical data, allowing us to improve our services.
  • Deliver relevant advertising about our menu offerings, promotions, and new locations to you across the web.
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
  • Prevent fraud and enhance the security of our website and online ordering platform.
  • Comply with applicable laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize our cookies into four main types, each serving a distinct purpose:

4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without them, you would not be able to navigate our site, place online orders, or use features like your shopping cart. These cookies do not collect any information that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be switched off in our systems.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the services you request, they do not require your prior consent under applicable law. However, we are transparent about their use here.

4.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular, how visitors move around our site, and where visitors are coming from. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not be able to monitor the performance of our website effectively.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Functional cookies may remember your preferred restaurant location, your language preference, or your login details so you don't have to re-enter them each time. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. These cookies do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza uses advertising cookies to promote special offers, seasonal menu items, and new restaurant openings.

6. Web Beacons and Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use web beacons (also known as "clear GIFs," "pixel tags," or "tracking pixels") and similar technologies on our website and in our email communications.

Web beacons are typically used in combination with cookies and may be used by our analytics and advertising partners to track conversions, measure the effectiveness of our email marketing campaigns, and understand user behavior on our website. The information gathered by web beacons is generally aggregated and does not identify individual users directly.
