Last Updated: July 8, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Green Lantern Pizza. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website (greenlantern-newpizza.click), and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how it is used, in accordance with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on online tracking and disclosure.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

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 more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services the website uses, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies do not typically contain information that directly identifies you as an individual; however, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit, such as your preferences or login status.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during a single browsing session. They are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Session cookies help your browser navigate our website smoothly and allow us to understand how you are using our site during a single visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences between visits, such as your preferred language or delivery address.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small, transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that track when a page or email has been opened or accessed.
  • Local Storage: A technology that allows websites to store data locally on your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in our website that collect information about your browsing behavior.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's settings and characteristics to create a unique identifier.

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

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a different purpose, and some are more essential to the functioning of our website than others.

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, our website cannot operate, and services you have requested — such as placing an online order — cannot be provided.

Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable laws because they are necessary for the operation of the website. However, we are committed to transparency and list them in the table below. You cannot opt out of these cookies through our cookie preference settings, though you can set your browser to block them (note that this may cause parts of the website to stop working).

Examples of what essential cookies do on our website include:

  • Maintaining your session while you are logged into your account
  • Remembering items in your online shopping cart or pizza order
  • Enabling secure payment processing
  • Preventing cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
  • Load balancing across our servers

3.2 Analytical / 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 understand which pages are the most and least popular, see how visitors move around the site, and identify any errors that might be occurring. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — it cannot be used to identify you personally.

If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance or make targeted improvements to your experience.

We primarily use Google Analytics for website analytics. Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google LLC that tracks and reports website traffic. The data generated by Google Analytics cookies is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers in the United States.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Functional cookies remember choices you make on our website — such as your preferred delivery address, saved favorite pizza orders, or any customization preferences — to provide a more personalized experience during your current visit and on future visits.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our website may be less personalized.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and other third-party advertising networks. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. 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. You will still see advertisements, but they may be less relevant to your interests.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information, which may include certain advertising cookie activities. Please see Section 6 for information on how to exercise this right.
