Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 29, 2026

1. 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 in your browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and browsing behavior.

Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to improve 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.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies a user. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device.

2. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website at greenlanternpizza.world, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small text file on your device. Every time you revisit our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and recall your preferences.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate through the website — for example, keeping items in your online order cart as you browse our menu.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They help us remember your preferences and settings for future visits to our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, you would not be able to use our site effectively. They enable core functions such as security, network management, and accessibility. These cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in online order forms.

3.2 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, how visitors move around the site, and whether users encounter any error messages. 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.

3.3 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. Functional cookies remember your preferences — such as your location, language settings, or previously selected menu items — to provide you with a more personalized experience. 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 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 websites. 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, but you will still see advertisements — they may just be less relevant to your interests.

In addition to our own cookies, we use various third-party services that may also set cookies on your device. These third parties include:

5.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to analyze how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our website, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on our site. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of our 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. For more information about how Google uses your data, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy

5.2 Google Ads

We use Google Ads to promote Green Lantern Pizza on Google's advertising network. Google Ads uses the _gcl_au cookie to track conversions — such as when you visit our website after clicking on one of our advertisements. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and optimize them for better results.

5.3 Facebook / Meta Pixel

We may use the Facebook Pixel, a tool provided by Meta Platforms, Inc., to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. The Facebook Pixel places cookies on your device to track your activity on our website and report this information to Facebook, allowing us to show you relevant ads on those platforms.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

Depending on which cookies you disable, the following impacts may occur when using greenlanternpizza.world:

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for interpreting DNT signals, and our website does not currently alter its behavior in response to DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie management tools described in Section 6 to control tracking on our website.
