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, to provide functionality, and to gather reporting information about how visitors interact with the site.

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 anthonys-cfpizza.rest for the first time, our website sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. On your next visit, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visit, such as your preferences, login status, or items in a shopping cart.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They help the website remember your actions during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits to a website.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent image files that are used to track user behavior on a website or in an email.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code embedded in our website that collect data about your interactions with the site.

Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to all of these technologies collectively.
