Cookie Policy

Effective Date: April 8, 2026  |  Website: snob-wings.top

1. Who We Are

This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Wing Snob, a food business based in the United States.

If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us using the details provided in Section 11 of this policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners and third-party service providers.

When you visit snob-wings.top, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it locally on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you on their own. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to information obtained from cookies. For example, a cookie might store a session ID that is associated with your account or preferences in our database.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When a cookie is set, it contains several pieces of data:

  • Name: A unique identifier for the cookie.
  • Value: The information stored in the cookie (e.g., a session ID or preference setting).
  • Domain: The website that created the cookie.
  • Expiry date: When the cookie will be automatically deleted from your device.
  • Path: The URL path for which the cookie is valid.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that provide content or functionality on that website (third-party cookies).

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser tab or session is closed.
  • Fingerprinting: Collecting certain device or browser characteristics to recognize returning visitors.

This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies" throughout this document.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Wing Snob uses four main categories of cookies on snob-wings.top. Each serves a different purpose, and some are more critical to the functioning of the website than others.

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

Essential cookies may be used to:

  • Maintain your session as you navigate between pages
  • Remember items added to an online order or cart
  • Implement security measures to protect against fraud and unauthorized access
  • Enable load balancing to ensure the website performs reliably
  • Remember your cookie consent preferences

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often, where visitors come from, and whether they receive error messages. All information collected is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify you personally. We use this data to improve how our website works.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose, which is a widely used web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics places several cookies on your device to help us understand user behavior on our website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your language preference, your location, or your login status. They may also be used to provide enhanced features and personalization. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Examples of what functional cookies help us do on snob-wings.top include:

  • Remember your preferred location or nearest Wing Snob restaurant
  • Store your ordering preferences
  • Recognize you when you return to our website

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are 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 typically placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They 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) and may use other advertising platforms. These services place cookies on your device to help us deliver targeted ads and track conversions.
