Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 24, 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 online experience. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, how we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences when visiting our website at anthonysdining.rest.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other tracking technologies, 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 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, 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 a 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 can remain on your device for different periods of time. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies survive after your browser is closed and can stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit anthonysdining.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends that cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your browser and remember your preferences or activity from previous visits.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and email interactions.
  • Local Storage: A mechanism similar to cookies that stores data locally in your browser without an expiration date.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when your browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser type, settings, installed plugins, and other attributes to create a unique identifier.

For the purposes of this policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each serves a specific and important purpose in delivering our online services to you.

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

Legal Basis: These cookies do not require your consent as they are necessary for the operation of our website.

Essential cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, page navigation, and access to secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, services you have requested, such as online reservations or order placement, cannot be provided. These cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preference settings, although you can set your browser to block them — but this may affect how our website works.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Legal Basis: We rely on your consent to place these cookies on your device.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources, and understand which pages are most and least popular, helping us to measure and improve the performance of our website. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Legal Basis: We rely on your consent to place these cookies on your device.

Functional 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. These cookies allow us to remember choices you make — such as your preferred location, language, or region — and provide enhanced, more personalized features. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Legal Basis: We rely on your consent to place these cookies on your device.

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 our advertising campaigns. These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. This means after you visit our website, you may see advertisements for Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza on other websites you visit.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have every right to disable or delete cookies, it is important that you understand the potential impact this may have on your experience when using our website. The following table outlines what features or functionality may be affected:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Core website functionality will be impaired. You may be unable to complete online orders, use the reservation system, or navigate securely through protected areas of our website. We strongly recommend keeping essential cookies enabled.
Functional Cookies Your preferred restaurant location will not be remembered between visits. Shopping cart contents may not persist when you navigate away from the page. Language and display preferences will reset each visit, requiring you to re-enter your choices every time.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to understand how visitors use our website, which pages are most popular, or where technical issues occur. This limits our ability to improve our website and online services. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements for Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, but they will be less relevant to your interests and location. You may also see our ads more frequently, as we will be unable to limit the number of times you are shown the same advertisement.

9. Your Privacy Rights Under US Law

As a business operating in the United States, Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza complies with applicable federal and state privacy laws. Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights regarding cookies and data collection:

9.1 California Residents

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). These include:

  • The right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold
  • The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information
  • The right to delete personal information collected about you
  • The right to correct inaccurate personal information
  • The right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information
  • The right to non-discrimination for exercising your CCPA rights

Some of the advertising cookies we use (particularly third-party advertising cookies) may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA. California residents may opt out of this by using the industry opt-out tools listed in Section 7.4 or by contacting us directly.

9.2 Other US States

Our cookie practices comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices. We are committed to transparency about our data collection practices and providing you with meaningful choices about how your data is used.

10. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Because there is no common industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, our website does not currently alter its behavior in response to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices as industry standards evolve.

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13.
