Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 21, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Wing Snob's Cookie Policy. This document explains how Wing Snob ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website snob-wings.digital. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and how they affect your browsing experience when you visit our site to explore our food offerings, place orders, or simply learn more about us.

This policy is designed to help you understand:

  • What cookies are and how they function
  • What types of cookies we use and why
  • How you can manage your cookie preferences
  • The impact of disabling certain cookies
  • How to contact us with questions or concerns

Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out of specific cookie categories as described below.

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 browser and allow the website — or third-party services — to recognize your device during your current visit or on future visits.

Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites work efficiently, improve user experiences, and provide data to website owners. They do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but in combination with other data, they can be used to identify you as an individual user.

How Cookies Work

When you land on a page of snob-wings.digital, our server (or a third-party server) sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie on your device. On your next visit — or during the same browsing session — your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and recall information such as your preferences, shopping cart contents, or login status.

There are two primary categories based on lifespan:

  • Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to remember your actions during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They allow our website to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

Cookies can also be classified based on their origin:

  • First-Party Cookies: Set directly by Wing Snob's website (snob-wings.digital).
  • Third-Party Cookies: Set by external services or partners (such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms) embedded within our site.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Wing Snob uses several categories of cookies on snob-wings.digital. Below, we describe each category, its purpose, and examples of the cookies used.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also called "strictly necessary" cookies) are required for the fundamental operation of our website. Without these cookies, core features such as navigation, secure login, and shopping cart functionality would not work properly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie settings.

These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes. They remember your preferences and settings only to ensure the website operates correctly during your visit.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. By collecting and reporting information anonymously, these cookies allow us to measure and improve website performance. We use Google Analytics to gather data such as the number of visitors, the pages visited, the time spent on each page, and where visitors came from (e.g., a search engine or social media link).

All data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized where possible. This means we receive statistical data about general usage patterns rather than information about specific individual users.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Examples include remembering your language preference, your location for local menu display, or your previously selected food categories.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, resulting in a less personalized experience on our site.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also known as targeting cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging to you. These cookies track your browsing habits across our website and potentially across other websites. They are typically set by advertising networks with our permission and record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. We may also use remarketing cookies to show you Wing Snob advertisements when you visit other websites.

We want to be transparent: under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific rights regarding the use of their personal information for advertising purposes, including the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information. If you are a California resident, please refer to Section 7 of this policy for more information on how to exercise your rights.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you are free to restrict or disable cookies at any time, doing so may affect your experience on snob-wings.digital. The following table outlines the potential impacts based on which types of cookies you choose to disable:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Core website functionality will be impaired. You may not be able to use the shopping cart, complete an order, or navigate securely between pages. We strongly recommend keeping these cookies enabled.
Analytics Cookies We will not be able to measure website traffic or understand how users interact with our site. This does not affect your experience, but it reduces our ability to improve the website based on user behavior.
Functional Cookies Personalization features will be lost. You may need to re-enter your location preferences, language settings, or other options on each visit.
Advertising Cookies You will no longer see personalized Wing Snob advertisements based on your browsing history. You may still see generic ads. Disabling these cookies does not stop ads from being served; it only makes them less relevant to your interests.

7. California Residents — CCPA/CPRA Rights

If you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), grants you specific rights regarding your personal information, including information collected through cookies.

You have the right to:

  • Know what personal information is collected about you and how it is used.
  • Delete personal information we have collected, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Opt Out of the sale or sharing of your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.

  • Correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
  • Limit Use of sensitive personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 9 of this policy. We will respond to your request within 45 days as required by applicable law.

Under CCPA/CPRA, advertising cookies that track users across websites may constitute the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. You may opt out of such sharing at any time by using the opt-out mechanisms listed in Section 5 above or by contacting us directly.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, new third-party services we integrate, or updates to applicable law (including the FTC Act, CCPA/CPRA, or other US federal or state regulations). When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Continued use of snob-wings.digital after any updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
