We are committed to being transparent about our data practices. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

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 websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how visitors use their 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.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit green-laternpizza.rest for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences. Cookies cannot access other files on your computer or install software. They simply store small amounts of data that help improve your experience on our website.
2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are stored in your browser's memory only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies help our website function correctly during your visit.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them. Persistent cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences.
2.3 Types of Cookies by Origin
- First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Green Lantern Pizza (i.e., cookies from the green-laternpizza.rest domain) and are only readable by our website.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than green-laternpizza.rest. They are placed by our trusted partners and service providers such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. Third-party cookies may track your online behavior across multiple websites.
