Last Updated: March 29, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Green Lantern Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your experience on our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to all pages and services available through our website at greenlanternpizza.top. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and protect your information.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our data practices, 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. These files are stored by your web browser and contain information that allows the website to recognize your device on future visits. Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide analytical information to website owners.

Cookies are created when your browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser, which then creates a text file. Every time you return to that website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server. Standard cookies cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They are simply data files — nothing more.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit greenlanternpizza.top, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie, and the next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This process allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized experience.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate through our website.
  • 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 them.

Cookies can also be classified based on their origin:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Green Lantern Pizza through our website.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services or partners, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms, that appear on our website.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small electronic files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to count users who have visited specific pages or opened emails.
  • Local Storage: A technology that allows websites to store data in your browser beyond the session, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that help us track user behavior and collect analytics data.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

Green Lantern Pizza uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Below, we explain each category, its purpose, and the specific cookies we deploy.

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our website would not function correctly. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and do not track your browsing activity across other websites. Because they are necessary for the website to function, they are activated automatically and cannot be turned off without significantly impacting your experience.

Essential cookies on our website help with tasks such as:

  • Remembering items you have added to your online order or cart
  • Maintaining your login session if you have a registered account
  • Ensuring secure areas of the website are accessible
  • Remembering your cookie preferences

4.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics 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, how visitors move around the site, and where visitors are coming from. 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 site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional 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, some or all of these services may not function properly. These cookies may remember your language preference, region, or previously selected menu items, making your experience more convenient.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called targeting or marketing 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 to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies 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.
