Last Updated: May 10, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Green Lantern Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies on delivery-greenlaternpizza.digital, as well as the choices you have regarding their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies is governed by applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act) and, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, 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 provide a better user experience, and to report usage information.

Cookies are created by your web browser and stored on your device. Each cookie contains a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. When you return to a website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit.

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 our website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website at delivery-greenlaternpizza.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser retrieves the stored cookie and sends its information back to our server. This process allows us to:

  • Recognize you as a returning visitor
  • Remember your preferences and settings (such as your location for delivery purposes)
  • Keep track of items in your online order cart
  • Analyze how you use our website to improve our services
  • Deliver relevant advertising based on your interests
  • Ensure the security of your browsing session

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and session storage. These technologies work in a similar way to cookies and allow us to monitor and improve our website performance and services.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our website into four main types. Below is a detailed explanation of each category:

4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain features of our website — such as the online ordering system — would not be able to operate correctly.

Essential cookies do not collect personal information that could be used for marketing or to track your browsing history across other websites. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preference settings. However, you can still block them through your browser settings, but this may significantly impact your ability to use our website and place orders.

4.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors navigate through the site, and whether users experience any error messages. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. 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

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 pages. These cookies may remember your preferences, such as your chosen delivery location, language settings, or previously selected menu items.

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.

4.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies are 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 websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. We use Google Ads and may use Meta (Facebook) advertising tools to reach customers who may be interested in our pizza delivery services.

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies at any time, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on our website. Below is a summary of the potential impact for each cookie category:
