Cookie Policy

Effective Date: April 2, 2026  |  Last Updated: April 2, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Green Lantern Pizza. This Cookie Policy explains how our website, greenlanternpizzas.digital, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit, browse, or interact with our online platform. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or disable them according to your preferences.

By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with the use of cookies, you are encouraged to adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described below. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality and your experience on our website.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in accordance with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. These files are created by your web browser at the request of the website you are visiting. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information about your preferences, actions, or login status.

Cookies are widely used across the internet by businesses of all types — including food service and restaurant websites like ours — to make websites work more efficiently, to provide useful features to users, and to gather analytical data that helps website owners understand how their sites are being used.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that signal when a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device.
  • Session Storage: Temporary data stored only for the duration of your browser session.
  • Pixel Tags: Used by advertising partners to track conversions and ad performance.

All of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies" throughout this policy for simplicity.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit greenlanternpizzas.digital, our server sends a cookie file to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and recall your previous activity or preferences — such as items you viewed on our menu, your location preferences, or your preferred language settings.

Some cookies are set by us directly (known as first-party cookies), while others are set by third-party service providers who assist us in delivering services such as analytics, advertising, and social media integrations (known as third-party cookies). Both types operate in essentially the same way but may be governed by different privacy policies.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our website into four main types, each serving a distinct purpose:

4.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly, and services you have requested — such as placing an online order or accessing secure pages — cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under most applicable regulations.

Essential cookies on our site may handle functions such as:

  • Maintaining your session while you browse our menu
  • Keeping items in your shopping cart or order queue
  • Authenticating your login credentials (if applicable)
  • Preventing fraudulent or unauthorized access
  • Ensuring website security and performance stability

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of our site. For example, analytics cookies tell us which pages are most frequently visited, how long users stay on particular pages, where users are geographically located, and whether they encounter any error messages.

We use Google Analytics — a web analytics service provided by Google LLC — to collect this type of data. Google Analytics uses its own set of cookies to track and report website traffic. The data collected is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made and to provide enhanced, personalized features. For instance, these cookies may remember your location (city or region) for delivery purposes, your preferred pizza toppings, or whether you have previously dismissed a promotional banner. While not strictly necessary, these cookies significantly improve your experience on our website.

Information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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 us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. These cookies are typically placed by third-party advertising networks — such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) — with our permission.

These cookies track your browsing behavior across our website and potentially across other websites in the advertising network. The information gathered is used to build a profile of your interests and to show you targeted advertisements related to Green Lantern Pizza's offerings, promotions, and deals.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some cookies placed on your device when visiting greenlanternpizzas.digital are set by third-party service providers whose services we have integrated into our platform. These third parties have their own independent privacy and cookie policies over which we have no direct control. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties to understand how they use your data:

We are not responsible for the content or accuracy of third-party privacy policies, nor for their cookie practices. We do, however, take reasonable steps to ensure that our third-party partners handle your data responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws.

7. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to accept, decline, or manage cookies at any time. Below are the primary methods available to you for controlling cookie usage:

7.1 Browser Settings

All major web browsers provide options to manage, block, or delete cookies. The process varies slightly by browser, but the following links provide direct guidance for the most commonly used browsers:

Please note that if you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to adjust cookie settings on each one individually.

7.2 Opt-Out Tools for Analytics and Advertising

In addition to browser-level controls, you can opt out of specific types of tracking using the following tools provided by third-party platforms:

7.3 Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools listed above to limit tracking.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to manage or disable cookies at any time, please be aware that doing so may significantly affect your experience on greenlanternpizzas.digital. Below is a summary of the potential impacts depending on which categories of cookies you choose to disable:

Cookie Type Impact If Disabled
Essential Cookies Core website functions will not work correctly. You may not be able to place online orders, maintain items in your cart, or access secure areas of the site. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to track website performance or understand how visitors use our site. This will limit our ability to improve the user experience and fix issues. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected, but our ability to optimize the site will be reduced.
Functional Cookies Personalized features such as saved delivery address, preferred menu items, and customized settings will not be available. You may need to re-enter your preferences on every visit.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be generic and not tailored to your interests or past interactions with our website. Disabling these cookies does not reduce the number of ads you see — only their relevance to you.

9. Children's Privacy and Cookies

Our website, greenlanternpizzas.digital, is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors through cookies or any other means. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child under your supervision has provided personal information through our website, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will take prompt steps to delete such information.
