This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. 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-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and 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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit greenlanternpizza.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends that cookie back to our server. This process allows us to recognize you, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized experience.
Cookies typically contain the following information:
- The name of the server the cookie was sent from
- The lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain active on your device)
- A value — usually a randomly generated unique number used to identify your browser
Cookies themselves do not contain personal information such as your name, address, or credit card details. However, when combined with other data we collect, cookies can help us identify you as a user of our services.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages visitors visit most often, how long they spend on each page, and whether they receive error messages from web pages.

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.
