Last Updated: May 28, 2026
1. About This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Green Lantern Pizza (referred to throughout this document as "we," "us," or "our"), accessible at greenlataern-food.click. This policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about all cookies we place, or that third parties place through our website, and the purposes for which they are used.
By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where required by applicable law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on consumer transparency, we will request your explicit consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the owners of websites.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and delivered to your browser. Your browser then stores the cookie locally. 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 your preferences or actions over time.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but the information they store may be linked to personal information that you have provided to us directly. Cookies cannot access other files stored on your device, and they cannot carry viruses or install malware.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit greenlataern-food.click, our server (and certain authorized third-party servers) may place cookies on your device. Here is a simplified explanation of the process:
- You type our web address into your browser or click a link to our site.
- Our web server receives your request and sends the webpage content to your browser along with one or more cookies.
- Your browser stores the cookies on your device (unless you have disabled cookies in your browser settings).
- On your next visit, your browser sends the stored cookies back to our server so we can recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly.
- Some cookies expire when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a set period of time (persistent cookies).
2.2 Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies to track your activity on our website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, which persists even after the browser is closed.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browsing session ends.
- Fingerprinting: A method of identifying a device based on unique device characteristics such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and installed plugins.
Throughout this Cookie Policy, when we refer to "cookies," we are referring to all these technologies collectively unless otherwise specified.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on our website into four main types:
3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take that constitute a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling out forms, or placing an online order for pizza or other food items.
Without these cookies, our website cannot function, and you would not be able to access services such as the online ordering system, the shopping cart, or account login features. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is strictly necessary for the service to function. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable laws.
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.
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the site. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site, and we will not be able to monitor its performance and make improvements for your benefit.
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. Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, your location for delivery, pizza customizations you've saved, or your login credentials so you don't have to re-enter them each visit).
If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly, and your user experience may be diminished.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and social media platforms such as Facebook/Meta. 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. Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information that may occur through certain advertising cookies. Please see Section 7 for more information on how to exercise these rights.
