1. Introduction
Welcome to Wing Snob ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website located at wlngsnob.rest. By visiting our website, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our services, including online ordering, reservations, and other food-related offerings.
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us at [email protected].
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.
Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes the cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies serve several purposes:
- They remember your preferences and settings so you do not have to re-enter them every time you visit.
- They help us understand how you use our website so we can improve it.
- They enable certain website functions to operate correctly.
- They allow us to show you relevant advertising and promotional content related to Wing Snob offerings.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct function related to your experience on our platform.
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential to the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling out forms, or placing a food order. Without these cookies, services that you have asked for cannot be provided.
Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are not used for tracking or advertising purposes. Because they are strictly necessary for the website to function, they do not require your consent under applicable law; however, we disclose them here in the interest of full transparency.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect standard internet log and visitor behavior information. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users engage with our website. The data collected is used solely to improve our website and food service experience.
If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable our 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. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or past orders, and provide more personalized features.
If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly and your user experience may be significantly reduced when browsing our menu or using our online ordering system.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google 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 work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
These cookies do not directly store 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 related to Wing Snob specials, promotions, and new menu items.
We use Google Ads conversion tracking cookies to measure the effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns, and we may use retargeting features to show Wing Snob ads to people who have previously visited our website.
