Effective Date: July 1, 2026 | Last Updated: July 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Green Lantern Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your use of our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies on greenlanternpizza-new.click, and the choices you have regarding their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. 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, provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information.

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 the website in question 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 on your device. On your next visit, the browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the server to identify your browser and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or items in a shopping cart.

Cookies contain information in the form of small pieces of data. Some cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser (called "session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them (called "persistent cookies").

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

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

3. Why We Use Cookies

Green Lantern Pizza uses cookies and similar technologies for a variety of purposes, including:

  • To ensure the proper functioning and security of our website
  • To remember your preferences and settings
  • To understand how visitors use our website and improve our services
  • To deliver relevant advertising and promotions
  • To analyze the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • To provide social media features and integrations
  • To comply with legal obligations under applicable United States law, including the FTC Act and relevant state laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types:

4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as placing an online order for pizza — cannot be provided. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

4.2 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 understand 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 website, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

4.3 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. For example, these cookies allow us to remember your location preferences so we can show you the nearest Green Lantern Pizza locations.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. 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 are subject to the FTC Act's guidelines on online behavioral advertising and, for California residents, the CCPA/CPRA opt-out requirements.
