Cookie Policy

Effective Date: July 5, 2026  |  Last Updated: July 5, 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 forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and is intended to give you clear, accessible information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.

This policy applies to all users who visit or interact with our website located at cafe-greenlatern.rest. Whether you are browsing our menu, placing an online order, or simply exploring what Green Lantern Pizza has to offer, this policy governs the use of cookies during your visit.

We comply with applicable United States federal and state privacy and data regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), and other relevant consumer protection laws.

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 and operators to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to gather reporting information about how visitors interact with those websites.

When you visit cafe-greenlatern.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your device. Your browser stores it and sends it back to our server each time you make a request to the same website. This process allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred language, items added to your cart, or your login status.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, when combined with other information we hold about you (such as account details), they may be used to identify you as an individual. Cookies are not programs and cannot be used to run software, deliver viruses, or access your hard drive.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you load a webpage, your browser downloads the page's HTML content and, if cookies are enabled, stores any cookies the server sends along. Each subsequent request your browser makes to that same domain includes the stored cookie data, which the server uses to identify your session or preferences. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third parties whose content appears on that page, such as advertising networks or analytics providers (third-party cookies).

2.2 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:

• Web Beacons / Pixel Tags: Tiny transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand how users interact with our content.
• Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows us to save data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with potentially larger storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Temporary browser storage that is cleared when the browser tab is closed.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device to identify it across sessions.

All references to "cookies" in this policy also encompass these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on cafe-greenlatern.rest into four main types:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionalities such as page navigation, secure login, order processing, and access to protected areas of the website. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate correctly, and services you have requested — such as completing an online food order — cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, you can still disable them through your browser settings, though doing so may significantly impair your experience on our site.

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data tells us which pages are most visited, how long users stay, where they come from, and what errors they may encounter. We use this information to improve the performance and content of our website.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics collects data about your behavior on our website and transmits it to Google servers in the United States. Google may also use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy. You can learn more at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred location, language settings, or your name if you have previously registered an account. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful 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. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads to promote our pizza and food services. These cookies track whether you clicked on one of our advertisements to arrive at our website and help us understand what actions you took after viewing our ads.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The table below provides detailed information about the specific cookies currently in use on cafe-greenlatern.rest:

Note: The cookies listed above represent those currently deployed on our website. This list may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our technology and service partners.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages or that we integrate with to provide enhanced functionality and marketing capabilities. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies over which we have no control. We encourage you to review their policies directly:

• Google LLC: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook): https://www.facebook.com/policy/cookies/
• Google Ads / DoubleClick: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Third-party cookies may track your activities across multiple websites to build a profile of your interests and display targeted advertising. We do not have direct access to the data collected by these third-party cookies.

6. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in several ways:

6.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these in the "Options," "Settings," or "Preferences" menu of your browser. You can set your browser to:

• Notify you when cookies are being set
• Accept or decline all cookies
• Delete cookies that have already been stored on your device
• Block third-party cookies specifically
• Enable private/incognito browsing mode, which does not store cookies after the session ends

6.2 Opt-Out Tools for Analytics and Advertising

You can opt out of specific third-party tracking tools using the following resources:

6.3 Mobile Device Settings

If you access our website via a mobile device, you can manage your ad tracking preferences through your device's operating system settings:

• iOS (iPhone/iPad): Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking and disable "Allow Apps to Request to Track."
• Android: Go to Settings > Google > Ads and enable "Opt out of Ads Personalization."

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you are free to restrict or disable cookies, please be aware that doing so may have a significant impact on the functionality and user experience of our website. Here is what you can expect if you disable various types of cookies:

• Essential Cookies Disabled: You may be unable to use the shopping cart, place orders online, log in to your account, or submit forms. Core website functions may break entirely, as these cookies are technically required for service delivery.
• Analytics Cookies Disabled: We will not be able to collect data about how you use our website. This does not directly affect your browsing experience, but it limits our ability to improve the site based on user behavior.
• Functional Cookies Disabled: Your preferences and settings will not be remembered between visits. You may need to re-enter your location, language preferences, or dietary options each time you visit.
• Advertising Cookies Disabled: You may still see advertisements from Green Lantern Pizza on other websites or platforms, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not stop advertising; it simply makes ads less personalized.

We recommend that if you wish to continue using all features of our website — particularly online ordering — you keep essential and functional cookies enabled while managing your preferences for analytics and advertising cookies.

8. Your Rights Under U.S. Privacy Law

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding the personal information collected through cookies. We respect and honor these rights as required by applicable law:

• California Residents (CCPA / CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights. Certain cookie-based tracking activities may qualify as the "sharing" of personal information under CPRA. To exercise your rights, contact us using the details in Section 10 below.
• All U.S. Consumers (FTC Act): The Federal Trade Commission Act prohibits unfair or deceptive practices in commerce. Our use of cookies is designed to be transparent and in accordance with FTC guidelines on online behavioral advertising and consumer privacy.
• Do Not Track (DNT): Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Our website currently responds to DNT signals by limiting non-essential cookie deployment when a DNT signal is detected. However, because there is no universal standard for DNT signals, we cannot guarantee full compatibility across all platforms.

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We reserve the right to update and modify this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our business operations, or our use of cookies and similar technologies. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via email or a prominent notice on our website.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are using cookies. Your continued use of cafe-greenlatern.rest after any changes to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.

10. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies and tracking technologies, please do not hesitate to contact us:

We aim to respond to all cookie-related inquiries within 10 business days. If you are a California resident seeking to exercise your rights under the CCPA/CPRA, please clearly state your request in your communication so that we can process it promptly and accurately.
