1. Introduction

Welcome to Wing Snob. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your visits to our website, wingsnob-meal.digital. This Cookie Policy forms part of our overall Privacy Policy and explains in detail what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to all users who access our website from the United States. Our practices are consistent with applicable U.S. federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines for consumer protection.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit wingsnob-meal.digital, our web server sends a small file to your browser, which is stored on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends back this file to our server. This allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor, remember your preferences, analyze how you use our site, and deliver relevant content and advertisements.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on behalf of that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies can also be categorized by their lifespan — "session cookies" expire when you close your browser, while "persistent cookies" remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website.

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.

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses a set of cookies to collect information and report website usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors to Google.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
