This Cookie Policy forms part of our overall Privacy Policy and is intended to give you clear, accessible information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

We take your privacy seriously. As a food service business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the FTC Act, and other relevant consumer protection regulations.

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 the user experience, and to provide reporting and analytical information.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies do a lot of different and useful jobs, such as remembering your preferences, keeping you logged in, understanding how you use a website, and allowing us to show you relevant advertising.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit anthonyscoal-pizz.digital, our web server sends a small file to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends this file back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or session data. Some cookies expire when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them (persistent cookies).

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be set either by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that we have integrated into our website (third-party cookies). First-party cookies are generally used for essential site functionality, while third-party cookies are commonly used for analytics and advertising purposes.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, such as online ordering or account access, cannot be properly provided. These cookies cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.

3.2 Analytics and 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 the most and least popular, see how visitors move around the site, and identify any errors or issues. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

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 your preferences, such as your language, location, or menu selections, so that you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are 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 work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, but you will still see advertisements — they simply will not be tailored to your interests.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you are always free to decline or disable cookies, doing so may affect your experience on our website. The following outlines the potential impact based on cookie category:

Cookie Type Impact if Disabled
Essential Cookies Core website functions, including the online ordering system, cart functionality, and login features, may not work correctly or at all. We strongly recommend leaving these cookies enabled.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to collect aggregated data about how visitors use our site. This limits our ability to improve the website based on user behavior. Your browsing experience will not otherwise be affected.
Functional Cookies The website may not remember your preferences, such as your location, saved items, or customization choices, and you may be required to re-enter these on each visit.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will not be personalized to your interests or behavior. You may see more generic or less relevant ads on our site and across the web.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, our website does not currently alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT browser signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this space and update our practices accordingly.
