Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 2, 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 explains what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on greenlanternpizzas.rest, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. By 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 at:

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 and more personalized 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 a website — such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. Every time you return to our site, your browser sends back the cookie to the server that originally issued it. This allows the server to identify your browser and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, shopping cart contents, or login status.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the server that placed the cookie
  • The lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device)
  • A unique identifier — a randomly generated number
  • Sometimes additional data related to the cookie's purpose

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

Cookies can be classified based on how long they remain on your device:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to carry information across pages of our website to avoid having to re-enter information.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on greenlanternpizzas.rest:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart, or make use of e-billing services. Without these cookies, certain services you have asked for cannot be provided, and we cannot present you with a functional website. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website to you, you cannot refuse them. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, as described below, but this may affect how the website functions.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors to our website and to see how visitors move around the website when they are using it. This helps us improve the way the website works, for example, by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how visitors use our site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address, which may be anonymized) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences such as your choice of language or region. These cookies also help us remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of web pages.

Information collected by these cookies may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads (Google LLC) to show relevant advertisements to users who have visited our site. These cookies track your browsing habits and activity across websites and allow us to show you targeted ads when you visit other sites that participate in the Google Display Network.

Analytics Cookies We will not be able to track and analyze your visit. This will not impact your browsing experience directly, but it means we will have less data to improve our website and services.

There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the opt-out options described in Section 6 above to limit tracking of your activities.
