1. Introduction

Welcome to Wing Snob ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at eat-wingsnob.click (the "Website") and explains how Wing Snob uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site, browse our menu, place orders, or otherwise interact with our online presence.

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), we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our Website.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other 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 generate reporting information about how the site is being used.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Wing Snob) 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 the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit eat-wingsnob.click, our server sends a small file to your browser, which is then stored on your device. Each time you return to our Website, your browser sends this file back to our server. This allows the Website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies can be session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them).

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other tracking technologies such as:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that track whether you have opened an email or visited a page.
  • Local Storage Objects (LSOs): Used to store data locally on your device through your browser's local storage feature.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code used to collect information about how you interact with our Website.
  • Fingerprinting: Techniques that identify your device based on its unique characteristics.
