1. Introduction

Welcome to Green Lantern Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at greenlaternpizza-food.rest (the "Website") and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and protect your personal information when you interact with our Website and services.

Green Lantern Pizza operates in the United States and complies with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding online consumer protection and fair business practices.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites function properly, operate more efficiently, and to provide reporting and analytical information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain any personally identifiable information on their own. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This allows us to provide you with a more personalized browsing experience on our Website.

2.1 First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are cookies set directly by Green Lantern Pizza (i.e., by our Website domain, greenlaternpizza-food.rest). These cookies are used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our Website.

Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than the one you are currently visiting. For example, when you visit our Website, we may embed content from third-party services such as Google Analytics or Google Ads, which may set their own cookies on your device. These third parties have their own cookie and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

2.2 Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are stored in your browser's memory only while you are browsing our Website. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies are essential for certain features of our Website to function correctly.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time or until you manually delete them. These cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences each time you visit our Website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our Website. Each category serves a specific purpose, as described below.

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic functionality of our Website. Without these cookies, certain features of the Website would not be available, and the Website might not function correctly. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes, and they do not remember where you have been on the internet.

Examples of essential cookie functions include: enabling you to log in to secure areas, maintaining your session as you navigate between pages, remembering items in your online order, and ensuring our Website loads correctly.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of our Website services, they are exempt from consent requirements under applicable laws. However, we still disclose them here in the interest of full transparency.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to count visits to our Website and understand how visitors interact with it. This helps us improve the way our Website works by understanding which pages are most frequently visited, how visitors navigate through the site, whether they encounter any errors, and how long they spend on particular pages.

The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose, which sets its own cookies on your device. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address (which is anonymized), your browser type, operating system, referring pages, and time spent on pages.

3.3 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 added to our Website pages. These cookies remember choices you make on our Website (such as your preferred location, language, or display settings) so that we can provide you with a more personalized experience.

If you do not allow functional cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. For example, you may not be able to use certain interactive features of our ordering system or preference settings.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are 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 the website operator's permission.

We use Google Ads cookies to serve targeted advertisements to visitors who have previously visited our Website. These cookies track your browsing activity across websites and enable us to show you relevant ads on other websites you visit after leaving our Website.

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

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu of your browser. Below are links to instructions for managing cookies in commonly used browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. You can choose to block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies when you close the browser.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. You can manage enhanced tracking protection and clear cookie data.
  • Apple Safari: Go to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data. You can block all cookies or block cross-site tracking.
  • Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and data stored. You can choose to block all cookies or manage exceptions.
  • Opera: Go to Settings > Privacy & security > Cookies and other site data. Similar options to Google Chrome are available.

Please note that the steps above may vary slightly depending on the version of the browser you are using. We recommend consulting your browser's official help documentation for the most accurate instructions.

5.2 Opt-Out Tools for Third-Party Services

You can also opt out of specific third-party cookies by using the opt-out tools provided by those services:

  • Google Analytics Opt-Out: You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  • Google Ads Personalization: You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting the Google Ads Settings page at: https://adssettings.google.com
  • Facebook (Meta) Ad Preferences: You can manage your Facebook ad preferences, including opting out of interest-based advertising, through your Facebook account settings at: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences
  • Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out: You can opt out of targeted advertising from NAI member companies by visiting: https://optout.networkadvertising.org
  • Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Opt-Out: You can opt out of interest-based advertising from DAA member companies by visiting: https://optout.aboutads.info
  • Your Privacy Choices (Global Privacy Control): Some browsers support the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which automatically signals your privacy preferences to websites. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a valid opt-out request under applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the CPRA for California residents.

5.3 Mobile Device Settings

If you use our Website on a mobile device, you can manage cookies through your mobile browser settings (similar to desktop browsers). Additionally, you can adjust your mobile device's advertising ID settings:

  • iOS (Apple): Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking and disable "Allow Apps to Request to Track." You can also reset your Advertising Identifier under Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising.
  • Android (Google): Go to Settings > Google > Ads and enable "Opt out of Ads Personalization." You can also reset your advertising ID in the same menu.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may impact your experience on our Website and limit certain functionality. Below is a summary of how disabling different types of cookies may affect your visit:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Disabling essential cookies will significantly impair the functionality of our Website. You may be unable to complete online orders, maintain a shopping cart, or access secure areas of our Website. Core features may not work as intended.
Analytics Cookies Disabling analytics cookies will prevent us from collecting data about how you use our Website. This will not affect your browsing experience directly, but it will limit our ability to improve our Website based on user behavior and preferences.
Functional Cookies Disabling functional cookies may result in a less personalized experience. Your preferences (such as your preferred location or saved settings) will not be remembered between visits, and you may need to re-enter information each time you visit our Website.
Advertising Cookies Disabling advertising cookies means that you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. It does not mean you will see fewer ads overall — just that the ads you see will be less tailored to you.

Please also note that if you clear your cookies from your browser, any cookie preferences you have previously set will be erased and you may need to re-set your preferences. Additionally, some opt-out mechanisms (such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on) use cookies themselves, so clearing your cookies may inadvertently undo an opt-out you have previously registered.

7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a resident of California, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) regarding your personal information, including information collected through cookies. These rights include:

  • Right to Know: You have the right to know what personal information we collect about you, including through cookies, and how it is used and shared.
  • Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information. Certain advertising cookie activities may constitute "sharing" under the CPRA. You can exercise this right by using the opt-out tools listed in Section 5.2 above or by contacting us directly.
  • Right to Correct: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.
