Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 18, 2026
1. 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 operators to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information about how visitors interact with their site.
Cookies are created by your web browser and stored on your device. When you return to a website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit — such as your preferences, items in your cart, or whether you are logged in.
Cookies do not typically contain personal information that identifies you by name, but they can be linked to personal data we already hold about you, or personal data collected from other sources. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we are also referring to similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects (LSOs/Flash cookies), and other tracking technologies that function in a comparable manner.
2. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit anthonyscoalpizz.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie as a small file on your device. Each cookie has a name, a value, and an expiration date. Some cookies expire when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a longer period (persistent cookies).
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party organizations whose content or tools are embedded on that website (third-party cookies). For example, if we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site, Google may set its own cookies on your device when you visit our website.
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies and similar technologies for several important reasons:
- To ensure our website works properly and securely
- To remember your preferences and personalize your experience
- To analyze how visitors use our website so we can improve it
- To deliver relevant advertising and promotional content
- To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- To enable social media sharing and interaction features
- To process online orders and reservations through our platform
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on our website into four main types:
4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function correctly. Without them, you would not be able to navigate our site, use core features, or access secure areas. Because these cookies are essential for the website to work, they cannot be disabled through our cookie consent tool. However, you can block them through your browser settings, though this will significantly impact your ability to use the website.
Essential cookies handle tasks such as:
- Maintaining your session as you navigate between pages
- Securing your connection and protecting against fraud
- Remembering items you have added to your cart
- Storing your cookie consent preferences
4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether users encounter any error messages. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify any individual. We use this information to improve the performance, design, and content of our website.
Our primary analytics provider is Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions and generate statistical reports about website usage.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your language preferences, your location, whether you have previously visited our site, or your preferred restaurant location. These cookies do not track your activity across other websites.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
We use Google Ads and may use Meta (Facebook) Pixel to track conversions and deliver targeted ads related to our menu, promotions, and catering services.

7.4 Do Not Track (DNT)

However, we respect the opt-out choices described above and encourage you to use those tools to manage your privacy preferences.
8. Impact of Disabling Cookies
We want to be transparent about what may happen if you choose to disable certain types of cookies:
- Disabling Essential Cookies: If you disable essential cookies, our website may not function properly. You may be unable to place orders, use the online menu, access your account, or complete secure transactions. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
- Disabling Analytics Cookies: If you disable analytics cookies such as those from Google Analytics, we will not be able to collect data about how you use our website. This means we will have less information available to improve the site's performance, content, and user experience. Your ability to use the website will not be affected.
- Disabling Functional Cookies: Disabling functional cookies means that some personalization features will no longer work. For example, your preferred restaurant location may not be remembered, and you may need to re-enter certain preferences each time you visit.
- Disabling Advertising Cookies: If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements from us, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads more frequently, and we will be less able to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
