Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 27, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Green Lantern Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at eatgreenlaternpizza.rest and explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site.

By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described below. However, please note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on our website.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website.

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 websites function properly, work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, login status, items in a shopping cart, or other settings. This can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Green Lantern 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 device both when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. On subsequent visits to our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and customize your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be session cookies — which are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser — or persistent cookies — which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.

All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. 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. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly. Functional cookies may remember your location, language preference, and other customization settings to enhance your experience.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and Facebook. 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. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. These cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and ensure we are reaching customers who are genuinely interested in our pizza and food offerings.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect the functionality and performance of our website. Below is a summary of the potential impact:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies The website may not function properly. Features such as the online ordering system, shopping cart, and user account login may not work. We strongly recommend keeping these cookies enabled.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to track website performance and visitor behavior. This means we cannot identify and fix issues or improve the user experience based on real data. No direct impact on your browsing experience.
Functional Cookies Personalized features may not be available. The website may not remember your preferences (e.g., language, location), and you may need to re-enter information on each visit.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not reduce the number of ads you see — only their relevance.

8. Cookie Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our business operations. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by providing additional notice on our website.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of our website after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

9. Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Green Lantern Pizza operates in the United States. Our cookie practices are governed by applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including:

  • The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), for users in California, which provide rights to know about, delete, and opt out of the sale of personal information.
  • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, which governs unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce, including data collection and online privacy.
  • The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) and applicable state laws regarding online tracking and data collection.

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights regarding the personal information collected through cookies, including the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information about your California privacy rights or contact us directly.

10. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools described in Section 6 to manage your tracking preferences.

11. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us immediately using the details below and we will take appropriate steps to address the situation.
