1. Introduction
Welcome to Green Lantern Pizza & Grill ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website greenlanternpizzagrill.rest (the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what data they collect, and how you can manage or disable them.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and to protecting your privacy in accordance with applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act). 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 internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to collect analytical information about how visitors use the site.
Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a user has accessed certain content.
- Local Storage Objects (LSOs): Data stored locally in your browser that persists beyond a single session.
- Session Storage: Temporary data stored for the duration of a single browser session.
- Tracking Pixels: Small, invisible images used by advertising platforms to track user behavior and ad performance.
Throughout this Cookie Policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer collectively to all of these technologies unless otherwise specified.
3. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our Website for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. On your next visit, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, which allows us to recognize you and remember your preferences. This process happens automatically and in the background.
Cookies can be categorized based on their lifespan:
- Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your activities during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (as defined in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
Cookies can also be classified by their origin:
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by our Website and can only be read by our Website.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external services and partners (such as Google Analytics or advertising networks) and can be read by those third parties across multiple websites.
