Cookie Policy
Last Updated: July 16, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Wing Snob ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at mywingsnob.rest. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. As a food business serving customers in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on online tracking and consumer privacy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information about how visitors use the website.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you are visiting and are stored in your web browser. Each time you return to that website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember information about your visit.
Cookies can be classified in several ways:
- By who sets them: "First-party cookies" are set directly by Wing Snob (mywingsnob.rest). "Third-party cookies" are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks.
- By how long they last: "Session cookies" exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close it. "Persistent cookies" remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.
- By their purpose: Cookies serve different functions, including essential operations, analytics, functionality, and advertising purposes.
3. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images or code embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been accessed or an email has been opened.
- Local Storage: A web storage technology that allows websites to store data locally within your browser. Unlike cookies, this data is not transmitted to a server with every request.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in our website that collect information about your interactions with our pages.
- Device Fingerprinting: Certain information about your device (such as browser type, screen resolution, and installed plugins) may be collected to help identify your device for security and analytics purposes.
For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to all of these technologies collectively unless otherwise specified.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on mywingsnob.rest. Each category serves a distinct purpose:
4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, the website or parts of it may not work correctly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, we do not require your consent to use them. However, you can still block them through your browser settings, though this may affect how the website functions.
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 understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors navigate through the website, and where visitors are coming from. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
We primarily use Google Analytics to collect and analyze this data. 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.
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. These cookies remember your preferences — such as your location, language settings, or previously viewed menu items — so you have a more personalized experience on our website.
If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our website may be less personalized.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Note that opting out does not mean you will receive no advertising — it simply means the advertising you see will not be tailored to your interests.
