Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Green Lantern Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences when visiting our website at greenlatern-food.rest.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Together, these documents form the basis of our commitment to your privacy and data security.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies. The date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.

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 their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by your web browser at the request of a website and stored on your device. The website can then read the information stored in the cookie whenever you return to that site. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Cookies set by the website operator (in this case, Green Lantern Pizza) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website operator 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.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit our website, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. On your subsequent visits, your device will check if it has any cookies relating to our website and send that information back to us. This allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies can remain on your device for different lengths of time. Some cookies are session cookies, meaning they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are persistent cookies, meaning they survive after your browser is closed and can be used to recognize your device on future visits to our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Green Lantern Pizza uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose, and we explain each one in detail below.

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain services you have requested, such as placing an online order, logging into your account, or accessing secure areas of the website, cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect information about you that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be turned off in our systems.

Essential cookies help us:

  • Remember items you have added to your shopping cart or order
  • Recognize when you are logged in to your account
  • Keep your session secure and authenticated
  • Maintain load balancing to ensure website performance
  • Remember your privacy preferences and cookie consent settings

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they are always active and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings tool.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics 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 and see how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our website, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our website. We use this information solely to improve our website and the overall user experience.

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 allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.

These cookies help us:

  • Remember your language preferences
  • Remember your location for local store or delivery information
  • Customize the website based on your past interactions
  • Remember your preferred pizza toppings or order history
  • Enable social media features and integrations

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

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be 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 sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

We use advertising cookies to:

  • Deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests
  • Limit the number of times you see an advertisement
  • Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
  • Understand and report on the actions taken after seeing an advertisement
  • Retarget visitors who have previously visited our website

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. These cookies are set by Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, and other advertising platforms we may use.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

For essential cookies, we rely on our legitimate interest to operate our website and provide the services you request. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be declined.

For analytics, functional, and advertising cookies, we rely on your consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, which may include certain types of advertising cookies. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information about your California privacy rights.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have every right to disable or restrict cookies, doing so may affect your experience on our website. Below is a summary of the potential impacts based on which type of cookies you disable:

7.1 Disabling Essential Cookies

If you block essential cookies using your browser settings, you may experience the following issues:

  • Inability to add items to your shopping cart or complete an online order
  • Being logged out automatically or unable to log in to your account
  • Loss of security protections against certain types of cyber attacks
  • General website functionality may be severely impaired

7.2 Disabling Analytics Cookies

Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use our website. However, it will mean that we have less information about how visitors use our site, which may limit our ability to improve our services and identify technical issues.

7.3 Disabling Functional Cookies

If you disable functional cookies, some features of our website may not work as intended. Specifically:

  • Your language and region preferences may not be saved between visits
  • You may need to re-enter your delivery information each time you place an order
  • Personalized recommendations and previous order history may not be displayed

7.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies

Disabling advertising cookies will not affect your ability to use our website or place orders. However, you may still see advertisements from Green Lantern Pizza on other websites — they simply will not be tailored to your interests or browsing behavior. You may see the same advertisements repeated more frequently, as the frequency capping feature relies on these cookies.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, our website does not currently alter its behavior in response to DNT browser requests. However, we provide you with the tools to manage your cookie preferences as described in this policy, which achieves a similar outcome.

California residents may also use the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. We are actively working to honor GPC signals in compliance with California law under the CCPA/CPRA.

9. Cookies and Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through cookies or any other means. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information or that cookies have been placed on your child's device without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

We are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and will take immediate steps to remove any such data upon notification.

10. Third-Party Websites and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plugins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements or cookie policies. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy and cookie policy of every website you visit.

11. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
