Wing Snob is committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of snobwings.click.

2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies are stored locally on your device and are sent back to the originating website each time you revisit it. They do not contain executable code or viruses and cannot access other information stored on your device.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit snobwings.click for the first time, our web server sends a small cookie file to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website or navigate between pages, your browser sends that cookie back to our server. This allows our website to recognize you, remember your preferences, and provide a more personalized experience.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that website (third-party cookies). Both types may be used on snobwings.click.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page visits or email opens.
- Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond standard cookie limitations.
- Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when your browsing session ends.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect data about your interactions with our website.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on snobwings.click. Each serves a distinct purpose and has different implications for your privacy and browsing experience.
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Without them, key features such as shopping carts, account logins, and order processing would not function properly. Essential cookies do not require your consent under most privacy frameworks because they are strictly necessary to deliver the service you have requested.
Examples of functions supported by essential cookies include:
- Maintaining your session while you browse our menu and place orders
- Remembering items added to your cart or order
- Ensuring secure access to your account
- Facilitating payment processing
- Load balancing to ensure website performance
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with snobwings.click. They collect aggregated, anonymized data about which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page, where visitors come from, and what errors they might encounter. This information helps us continually improve our website and the online experience we offer our customers.
We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics collects information about your use of our website and generates reports for us. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process data on Google's behalf.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your location, preferred language, region, or other customization settings. These cookies enable us to provide you with enhanced, personalized features. For example, we may use functional cookies to remember your preferred Wing Snob location, your food preferences, or whether you have previously dismissed certain notifications.
The information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized and does not track your browsing activity across other websites.
3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising cookies (also called targeting cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. 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 such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) with our permission.
These cookies track your browsing activity across websites. The information collected may be shared with advertisers and other organizations. You have the right to opt out of this type of cookie at any time.
