1. About This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Wing Snob (hereinafter referred to as "we," "us," or "our"), accessible at wingsnob-meal.rest. This policy is designed to provide you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies and similar tracking technologies we use, in accordance with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.
By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood how we use cookies. Where consent is required under applicable law, we will request your explicit consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide functionality, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember your preferences or activity.
Cookies typically contain the following information:
- The name of the website that set the cookie
- The duration of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device)
- A unique identifier (a randomly generated number)
- Information about your browsing behavior or preferences
2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Wing Snob (via wingsnob-meal.rest) and can only be read by our website. They are primarily used to improve your experience on our site and remember your preferences.
Third-party cookies are set by external services or partners — such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms — whose functionality we have integrated into our website. These third parties may use cookies to track your browsing activity across multiple websites.
2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically from your device when you close your browser. They allow websites to link your actions during a single browsing session.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits to our website.
3. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to collect information about your online activity:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny, invisible graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views or email opens.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about your device, browser, and interactions with our website.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that uses information about your browser configuration and settings to identify your device without relying on cookies.
