This Cookie Policy explains how Wing Snob ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at wlngsnob.top. By continuing to browse or use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. Please read it carefully to understand what types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
1. 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. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that particular cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember preferences, shopping cart contents, login sessions, and other useful information between visits.
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny, invisible graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that are used to track page views, email opens, and user behavior.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data directly in your browser for improved performance and functionality.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but limited to a single browsing session and cleared when the browser is closed.
- Fingerprinting: Collecting information about your device, browser, and settings to create a unique identifier that helps recognize you across sessions.
2. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit wlngsnob.top for the first time, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or session data. Cookies can be set either by our own website (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that we integrate into our website (third-party cookies).
Cookies can be classified by their lifespan:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate our website.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a defined period of time, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them and are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Wing Snob uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed description of each category and why we use them.
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to function correctly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging into your account, or filling out forms. Without these cookies, certain services on our website — including online ordering and account management — cannot be provided. Because these cookies are essential, they do not require your consent under applicable law.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and how visitors navigate through our site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. 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 effectively.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website. They allow us to remember your choices — such as your preferred language, your location (to show nearby restaurant locations), or your saved menu items. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are 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 websites. They do not store personal information directly but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less targeted and relevant to your interests.
