Effective Date: May 28, 2026  |  Last Updated: May 28, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Green Lantern Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizzagreenlatern.rest, and what choices you have regarding their use.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use to operate our website and improve your experience when you browse our menu, place orders, or interact with our online services. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect and process your personal data.

Our use of cookies and related technologies is governed by applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), guidelines issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for users in California.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to gather information about how visitors use the site.

Cookies are stored locally on your device and are sent back to the originating website each time you revisit it. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember information about your preferences or past actions.

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether you have viewed a page or opened an email.
• Local Storage: A feature in your browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about how you interact with our website.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

3. How Cookies Work

When you visit pizzagreenlatern.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or activities.

Cookies can be either:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to manage your session as you navigate our website.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.

Cookies can also be classified by who sets them:

• First-Party Cookies: Set directly by Green Lantern Pizza on our domain pizzagreenlatern.rest.
• Third-Party Cookies: Set by third-party services or partners whose content or features appear on our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type and the purposes for which we use them.

4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without them, core features such as navigating the site, placing online orders, or accessing secure areas would not work. Because these cookies are essential to the operation of our website, they cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your user experience. They do not collect information that can identify you personally for marketing purposes.

Examples of what they do:

• Maintain your session while you browse our menu and add items to your cart.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the performance, content, and overall experience of our site. We use Google Analytics for this purpose, which is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC.

The information collected by analytics cookies includes pages visited, time spent on each page, how you arrived at our website, and which links you clicked. This information is aggregated and does not personally identify individual users.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have incorporated into our website. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.
