Cookie Policy
Last Updated: May 14, 2026
1. 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, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the owners of the site.
Cookies are created by your web browser and stored on your device at the request of a website. When you return to that website — or visit another website that recognizes the same cookie — the website can read the information stored in the cookie and use it to remember your preferences or track your behavior.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, when combined with other data we hold about you, they may be used to identify you as an individual.
1.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit wingsnobfood.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this file and sends it back to our server on subsequent visits. This allows us to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, items in your cart (if applicable), and how long you spent on certain pages.
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. They are used to track your activities within a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time (defined in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and actions across multiple visits to our website.
1.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
Cookies can also be classified as first-party or third-party cookies:
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Wing Snob (the website you are visiting) and can only be read by our website.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a domain other than wingsnobfood.digital. They are placed on our website by external service providers, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms, and those third parties can read the cookies when you visit other websites that use their services.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Wing Snob uses the following categories of cookies on our website:
2.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain services or features — such as page navigation, secure login areas, or online ordering — cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver our website services, they cannot be disabled through our cookie consent mechanism. However, you may be able to block them through your browser settings, although this may impair website functionality.
2.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data to improve the performance and usability of our website. We use Google Analytics to provide these services.
2.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made (such as your username, language preference, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to font size, text, and other customizable parts of our website. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
2.4 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 with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.

- Contractual Necessity: Certain cookies may be necessary to fulfill a contract with you, such as when you place an online food order through our platform.
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA regarding your personal information, including the right to know, the right to delete, the right to opt-out of sale or sharing, and the right to non-discrimination. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more details.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to restrict or block cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience when using our website. The impact of disabling different types of cookies is outlined below:
| Cookie Type | Impact of Disabling |
|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Our website may not function properly. You may be unable to navigate between pages, use secure areas, complete an online order, or access certain features. We strongly advise that you do not disable these cookies. |
| Functional Cookies | Your preferences (such as saved language settings or your food customization choices) will not be remembered between visits. You may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit our site. |
| Analytics Cookies | We will not be able to collect aggregated data about how visitors use our website. This may limit our ability to improve our website's performance and user experience over time. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected. |
| Advertising Cookies | You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not stop you from seeing ads — it only means the ads you see may be less targeted to your preferences. |
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. However, you may still use the cookie management tools described in Section 5 to control data collection and tracking on our website.
We will continue to monitor developments in DNT standards and update our practices accordingly as industry standards evolve.
8. Cookies and Children's Privacy
Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information through the use of cookies or otherwise, please contact us immediately at the details provided below so we can take appropriate action.
9. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We reserve the right to update or modify this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies we use, applicable laws, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of wingsnobfood.digital after any changes to this policy will constitute your acknowledgment of those changes.
