Welcome to Wing Snob. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies on our website wingsnob.bond, and the choices you have regarding these cookies.

This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. We encourage you to read this Cookie Policy carefully to understand your rights and our obligations under applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act for general consumer protection standards.

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 by website owners and operators to make websites work more efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Wing Snob) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie and sends it back to our server the next time you visit. This allows our website to recognize your browser and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences and settings.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you browse our website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and email open rates.
  • Local Storage: A form of web storage that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about how you interact with our website.
  • Device Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's configuration to identify it across sessions.

This information is used to compile reports and improve our website.

They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to promote Wing Snob's products and services. These advertising cookies track your online activity to help us deliver more relevant ads to you across the internet.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable cookies at any time, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on our website. Below is a summary of the potential impacts of disabling each type of cookie:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Disabling essential cookies will significantly impair the functionality of our website. You may be unable to complete food orders, maintain your shopping cart, log in to your account, or access certain secure areas of our website. Core website functions will be disrupted.
Analytics Cookies Disabling analytics cookies will prevent us from understanding how visitors use our website. While this will not directly impact your browsing experience, it means we will have less information to improve our website and services for all users.
Functional Cookies Disabling functional cookies means that certain features will not work as expected. You may lose your saved preferences, language settings, and location-based customizations. Each visit to our website may feel less personalized and you may need to re-enter information more frequently.
Advertising Cookies Disabling advertising cookies will not prevent you from seeing advertisements, but the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests. You will still see ads from Wing Snob and our advertising partners, but they will be more generic and less targeted to your preferences.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers and mobile operating systems include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature or setting that you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. Currently, there is no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. As a result, we currently do not respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.

If a standard for DNT tracking is adopted in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly. In the meantime, California residents can exercise their privacy rights through the methods described in this policy and our Privacy Policy.

8. California Residents — Your Privacy Rights
