1. Introduction

Welcome to Wing Snob ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at wingsnob-bbq.click (the "Website") and explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site.

By continuing to use our Website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree to the use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described in this document. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our Website.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, 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), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies serve several important functions:

  • They remember you: Cookies can store your preferences and settings so that you do not have to re-enter them every time you visit.
  • They keep you logged in: If you have an account or shopping cart on a website, cookies allow the site to remember who you are between pages.
  • They help websites function: Many core website features depend on cookies to operate correctly.
  • They help us understand how our site is used: Analytics cookies tell us which pages visitors are viewing, how long they stay, and where they come from.
  • They help us deliver relevant advertising: Advertising cookies allow us and our partners to show you ads that are more relevant to your interests.

2.1 Types of Cookies by Duration

Cookies can be categorized based on how long they remain on your device:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you are on the Website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (or until you delete them). They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Origin

  • First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Wing Snob when you visit our Website.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. For example, if we embed content from Google or social media platforms, those services may set their own cookies on your device.

2.3 Similar Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been accessed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage mechanisms that allow websites to store data locally on your device.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code used to track user behavior and gather analytics data.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Wing Snob uses four main categories of cookies on our Website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to be able to browse our Website and use its features. Without these cookies, some services — such as accessing secure areas, using our online ordering features, or navigating the site correctly — cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, they cannot be turned off without severely affecting how the site functions.

We do not need your consent to place these cookies as they are required for the basic operation of the Website.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages they visit most often, how much time they spend on each page, and whether they receive error messages. This information helps us improve the performance and design of our Website. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual visitors.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand Website traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data on our behalf.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or other settings. These cookies provide a more personalized experience and make your visits more convenient. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) conversion tracking and remarketing cookies to understand whether our advertising campaigns are effective and to serve relevant ads to users who have previously visited our Website.
