This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

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, to improve 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, such as 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, 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 the cookie back to the server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit.
Cookies can be classified in several ways:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate our website.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period after you close your browser. They help us recognize you when you return to our website.
- First-Party Cookies: Set directly by our website to improve your experience.
- Third-Party Cookies: Set by our trusted partners, such as analytics and advertising providers.

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, the website cannot function correctly.
These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are used solely to deliver the basic functionality of our website, including enabling secure log-in, managing your shopping cart, and processing online food orders.

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website.

These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
3.4 Advertising and 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. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
