2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect analytical information about how the website is used.
Cookies are sent by a web server to your browser and stored on your device. Each time you return to that website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visits.
Cookies are not harmful to your device. They cannot execute code, carry viruses, or install malware. They simply store small pieces of data that help websites function more effectively.
2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
Cookies can be set either by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third parties whose content appears on the website, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (third-party cookies).
- First-party cookies are set directly by Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza and are used primarily to improve your experience on our website.
- Third-party cookies are set by external services we use, such as Google Analytics and Google Ads, which help us understand how our website is used and how our advertising campaigns perform.

- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They allow websites to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web beacons (pixel tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and email open rates.
- Local storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
- JavaScript tags: Small pieces of code embedded in our website pages that collect data and send it to third-party analytics or advertising platforms.
