1. Introduction

Welcome to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website (acfpcafe.click), and the choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and ensuring that your experience on our website is both enjoyable and secure.

This Cookie 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 acfpcafe.click, you acknowledge and agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about how we use cookies, please 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. These files are stored by your web browser and contain information about your browsing preferences and activity on a given website.

Cookies serve many important purposes. They allow websites to function efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide you with a personalized experience. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (known as "session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a longer period (known as "persistent cookies").

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies"). Third-party cookies are typically used for advertising and analytics purposes.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit acfpcafe.click for the first time, our server sends a small text file to your browser. Your browser stores this file and sends it back to our server on subsequent visits. This process allows us to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, items in your cart, and other settings.

Cookies may also include unique identifiers that help us track your behavior across multiple visits, improving our understanding of how users interact with our website. This information helps us improve our services, optimize our online ordering system, and deliver relevant content and promotions.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track when and how often content is accessed.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when your browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings to create a unique identifier.

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

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on acfpcafe.click. Each category serves a distinct purpose, and we describe them below:

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are required for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website — including our online ordering system — would not work correctly.

Essential cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your ability to use our website. Because they are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, we do not require your consent to use them.

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred restaurant location, language, or saved payment methods) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our website may be less personalized.
