Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 25, 2026

Summary: This Cookie Policy explains how Wing Snob ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website snobs-wing.rest. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. Introduction

Wing Snob operates the website snobs-wing.rest (the "Website") to provide information about our food services, menu offerings, online ordering, and other related content. Like most modern websites, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and support our marketing efforts.

This Cookie Policy is designed to provide you with clear and transparent information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our Website.

This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access our Website, regardless of location. Where applicable, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, and other applicable United States federal and state privacy laws.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. These files are stored in your device's browser and contain small amounts of data, such as a unique identifier, the website name, and some numbers and letters. Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie.

Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember useful information (such as items added to a shopping cart) or to record your browsing activity. They help websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit snobs-wing.rest for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or previous interactions.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third parties, such as analytics services or advertising networks (known as third-party cookies). Both types may be used on our Website.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been accessed or an email has been opened.
Local Storage: A mechanism that allows websites to store data in a web browser with no expiration date, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect data about how you interact with our Website.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on snobs-wing.rest into four main types:

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our Website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as placing an online food order — cannot be provided. You cannot opt out of these cookies if you wish to use our Website.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are typically session-based, meaning they are deleted when you close your browser.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages visitors go to most often, how long they spend on each page, and if they receive error messages from web pages. This data helps us understand and improve the performance of our Website. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect this type of data. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The information generated by these cookies about your use of the Website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or menu preferences) and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or using a live chat service. The information these cookies collect is typically anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

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, as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. 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.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to serve targeted advertisements related to our food and restaurant services.
