Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Wing Snob operates the website snobs-wing.top and is committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your visits. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy on our website, and how you can control or manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website. Together, these documents explain how we collect, process, and protect your personal information in accordance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, and other relevant regulations.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always indicate when the most recent changes were made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

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 their websites work more efficiently, to improve 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 our website and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device and stored in your browser's cookie directory. The cookie stores a unique identifier — a random string of letters and numbers — that helps our systems recognize your browser the next time you visit. Cookies do not typically contain personal information such as your name or address; however, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Cookies can remain on your device for different lengths of time. "Session cookies" exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. "Persistent cookies" survive after your browser is closed and can be used to identify your device when you open your browser and browse the internet again. Persistent cookies have an expiry date set by the website that placed them.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images (also known as "clear GIFs" or "tracking pixels") embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails that track user behavior and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
  • Local Storage: A web storage technology that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is only retained for the duration of your browsing session.
  • Fingerprinting: The collection of information about your device's settings and capabilities for the purpose of identification.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

Wing Snob uses cookies for several important reasons:

  • To ensure our website functions correctly and to provide you with the services you request.
  • To remember your preferences and personalize your browsing experience on our food ordering and information platform.
  • To analyze how our website is used so we can improve its performance, content, and layout.
  • To measure the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns.
  • To deliver relevant advertisements to you on our website and on third-party websites.
  • To comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud or misuse of our services.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies we use into four main categories:

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential 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, filling in forms, or adding items to an order cart. Without these cookies, some parts of our website may not work properly. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site may not then work as intended. 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 site. 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. 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. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

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 then some or all of these services may not function properly. Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, the region you are in, and your username, so they can provide a more personalized experience on subsequent visits.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. 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. These cookies are primarily set by third parties such as Google Ads and similar advertising platforms.

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may have a significant impact on your experience when using our website. The following outlines the potential effects of disabling different categories of cookies:

  • Functional Cookies Disabled: Personalized features such as remembering your location, food preferences, or saved settings will not work. You may need to re-enter preferences each time you visit the website.
  • 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 the ads you see may be less aligned with content you have previously browsed or engaged with.
