1. Introduction
Welcome to Green Lantern Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we use technology on our website, including cookies and similar tracking technologies. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy on meal-greenlatern.click, and how you can control your cookie preferences.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. Our practices are consistent with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), and where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, 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 device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable personalized experiences.
Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website at meal-greenlatern.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends that cookie back to our server. This allows our website to recognize your device and remember your preferences, login status, shopping cart contents, and other information that improves your browsing experience.
Cookies can be "session cookies," which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user activity and email open rates.
- Local Storage: A feature of modern browsers that allows websites to store data locally on your device.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when your browser session ends.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that identifies your device based on its unique configuration and settings.
For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed description of each type and why we use them.
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website. Without these cookies, our website cannot operate correctly, and services you have requested — such as browsing our menu, placing an order, or accessing your account — cannot be provided. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preference settings. However, you can disable them via your browser settings, though doing so will significantly impact your ability to use our website.
Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are typically first-party cookies.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are most frequently visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors receive error messages. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual users. We use this data to improve the performance and user experience of our website.
We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used web analytics services, provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users interact with our site.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, location, or saved items) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your order preferences or previously viewed menu items. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These 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. They are usually placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
