1. Introduction

Welcome to Wing Snob's Cookie Policy. At Wing Snob, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website wlngsnob.bond, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using our website, you agree to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.

Wing Snob is a food business based in the United States, and this policy is designed to comply with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable.

2. 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 websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information.

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 also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies do not typically contain personal information such as your name or contact details, but they can be linked to personal information that we hold about you.

Cookies can be either:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They do not collect information from your device and expire at the end of your browser session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

Wing Snob uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for several important reasons:

  • To ensure that our website functions correctly and securely
  • To remember your preferences and settings when you return to our site
  • To understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve our services
  • To deliver relevant advertising and promotional content about our food offerings
  • To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • To provide social media features and integration
  • To analyze website traffic and usage patterns

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each category:

4.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. They also help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website.

Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not work if you do so. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. It uses cookies to help us analyze how visitors use our website. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. 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 services may not function properly. These cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, and provide enhanced, more personal features.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, it is important to understand that doing so may affect your experience on our website. Below we outline the potential impact of disabling each category of cookies:

Cookie Category Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Our website may not function properly. You may be unable to use key features such as the online ordering system, shopping cart, login functions, or secure payment processing. We strongly recommend keeping these cookies enabled for the best experience.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to track website performance and understand how visitors use our site. This means we may not be able to identify and fix issues, improve user experience, or understand which of our food menu pages or promotions are most popular.
Functional Cookies Your personalization preferences will not be remembered between visits. You may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit our website, such as language settings or your preferred location for food ordering.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests and preferences. You may see more generic ads rather than ads tailored to your food preferences and browsing behavior.

Please be aware that even if you opt out of certain cookies, you may still see advertisements from Wing Snob or other parties — the ads simply will not be personalized to your interests based on your browsing behavior.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, like many websites, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.

However, we encourage you to use the opt-out tools and browser settings described in this policy to manage your cookie preferences. California residents may also have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, including data collected through cookies. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information about your rights as a California resident.

9. Cookies and Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through cookies or any other means. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal data through our website, please contact us immediately using the contact details provided below so that we can take appropriate action.

10. Third-Party Websites and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their cookie policies or privacy practices. We encourage you to read the cookie policy and privacy notice of every website you visit when you leave our website.

11. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, regulatory requirements, or our business practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date at the top.
