1. About This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Wing Snob (referred to as "we," "us," or "our"), accessible at snobs-wing.digital. It explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, browse our menu, place an online order, or otherwise interact with our digital platform.

By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where required by applicable law — including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act — we will obtain your explicit consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored 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 efficiently, to provide functional features, and to gather analytical data about how users interact with online content.

Cookies are sent by a web server to your browser, and your browser stores them locally. Each time you revisit the same website, your browser sends those cookies back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain preferences or actions.

Cookies can be categorized in several ways:

  • First-party cookies – Set directly by Wing Snob (snobs-wing.digital) on your device.
  • Third-party cookies – Set by external services and partners (e.g., Google Analytics, Google Ads) that provide features on our website.
  • Session cookies – Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate our site.
  • Persistent cookies – Cookies that remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code embedded in our website that collect information about your browsing behavior and interactions.
  • Fingerprinting: In some cases, third-party partners may use device or browser characteristics to create a unique identifier for analytics purposes.

Throughout this policy, references to "cookies" encompass all such similar tracking technologies unless otherwise specified.

4. Why We Use Cookies

Wing Snob uses cookies for several important purposes related to our food ordering and restaurant website operations:

  • To ensure our website functions correctly and securely.
  • To remember your preferences (such as location, menu favorites, and cart contents) as you navigate through our site.
  • To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve the experience.
  • To measure the effectiveness of our online marketing and advertising campaigns.
  • To deliver relevant advertisements and promotional offers for our food and menu items.
  • To comply with applicable legal requirements, including those under the CCPA/CPRA and FTC guidelines.

5. Types of Cookies We Use

5.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website and cannot be switched off. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website — such as the online ordering system, shopping cart, and account login — would not work properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is strictly required to deliver the service.

5.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to count page visits, identify popular content, track user journeys, and diagnose technical problems. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

5.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalization on our website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly — for example, remembering your preferred location or previously ordered items.

5.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

  • Advertising Cookies Disabled: You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly, and we will be unable to accurately track the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

We respect your right to manage your cookie preferences, and we will do our best to provide as full a website experience as possible even where certain cookies have been disabled.
