Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 20, 2026

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 provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website, wingxsnob.digital. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional context about how we handle your personal information.

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of our website located in the United States and is designed to comply with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on online tracking and consumer protection.

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. These files are stored in your web browser and allow the website — or third parties — to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

Cookies serve many different functions. Some cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. Others help us improve website performance, understand how visitors interact with our content, provide personalized experiences, and deliver relevant advertising. Cookies are widely used across the internet and are an integral part of how modern websites operate.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit wingxsnob.digital for the first time, your browser receives one or more cookies from our server or from third-party services we use. Each cookie contains a small amount of data — typically a unique identifier — that helps the website recognize your device on subsequent visits. When you return to our website, your browser sends the stored cookies back to our server, allowing us to recall your preferences and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. Both types of cookies are used on our website for various purposes.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons: Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user activity and gather statistical data.
  • Local Storage: A feature of modern web browsers that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code embedded in our website that collect information about your browsing behavior and interactions.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique used to identify devices based on their unique hardware and software configurations.

All references to "cookies" in this policy also encompass these similar tracking technologies unless otherwise specified.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Wing Snob uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each category and the purposes they serve.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as "strictly necessary" cookies) are required for our website to function properly. These cookies enable core features such as page navigation, secure access to restricted areas of the website, and the proper functioning of our online ordering system. Without these cookies, the services you have requested on our website cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools, although you can set your browser to block them — however, this may cause parts of our website to stop working correctly.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are used solely for the purpose of enabling website functionality. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms on our website.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics 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. 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 to collect this information. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, and it uses cookies to report on how users interact with website content. Google Analytics helps us understand which menu items attract the most interest, how long users spend on our pages, and where our visitors are coming from geographically.

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, the region you are in, or your login information, so you don't have to re-enter this data on every visit. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

For a food service business like Wing Snob, functional cookies also help us remember your order history, dietary preferences, and saved delivery addresses to make your ordering experience more convenient and personalized.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also known as "targeting" or "marketing" cookies) are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from appearing repeatedly, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, such as 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 sites.

These cookies do not directly store personal information, but they do uniquely identify your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, but you will still see advertisements — they just may not be as relevant to your interests.

5. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to the cookies set directly by Wing Snob, some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that we use to enhance your experience, analyze website performance, and deliver relevant advertising. These third-party companies may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your activities on our website and other websites over time, and that information may be associated with your personal information or linked to information they collect from other sources.
