2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, improve efficiency, and provide reporting information.
When you visit a website, the website's server sends a cookie to your browser, which then stores it on your device. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visits.
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 computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser is closed and can be used to recognize you when you return to the website.

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
