Last Updated: April 7, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Wing Snob ("we," "our," or "us"). This Cookie Policy explains how Wing Snob uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at snobwing.digital (the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how and why we use them, and the choices available to you regarding their use.

By continuing to use our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies as described herein, you may adjust your browser settings or refrain from using our Website. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality and features available to you.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our Website. If you have any questions about how we handle your data, please contact us at [email protected].

2. 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 by website owners to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information to site owners.

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 features or functionality provided by third parties to be present on or through our Website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties who 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 for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. The next time you visit the Website from the same device, the browser checks whether a matching cookie exists. If so, it sends the information contained in that cookie back to the website. This process allows the website to recognize your device and personalize your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be classified based on their duration:

  • Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate our Website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created the cookie.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed specific actions.
  • Local Storage: A technology that allows websites to store information locally on your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's hardware and software to create a unique identifier.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our Website. Below is a detailed explanation of each category and why we use them.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. Without these cookies, the Website — or certain features of it — would not work correctly. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable law.

Examples of what these cookies do include remembering items in your cart during your visit, maintaining your session as you navigate between pages, and ensuring secure connections to our ordering system.

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 the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Website. 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 Website and will not be able to monitor its performance.

We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics platform. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions and compile statistical reports about Website activity.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the 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 pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these features may not function properly. Functional cookies help us remember your preferences, such as your preferred language or region, and provide you with a more personalized experience.

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 websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. We use Google Ads and may use Facebook Pixel for advertising purposes.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

As a business operating in the United States, our use of cookies is governed by applicable federal and state privacy laws. We rely on the following legal bases for the use of cookies:

  • Legitimate Interests (Essential Cookies): Strictly necessary cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in maintaining the basic functionality of our Website and your right to access it properly.
  • Consent (Non-Essential Cookies): For analytics, functional, and advertising cookies, we rely on your consent, which you provide via our cookie consent banner when you first visit our Website. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

If you are a resident of California, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Under these laws, some cookies — particularly advertising cookies — may constitute the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. You have the right to opt out of such activities by using the methods described in Section 7 below, or by submitting a request to [email protected].

We also comply with the FTC Act and relevant FTC guidance on online tracking and consumer protection in our use of cookies and tracking technologies.

6. How Cookies Are Used for Our Food Business

7. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline cookies (except for strictly necessary cookies). There are several ways to manage your cookie preferences:

7.1 Cookie Consent Tool

7.2 Browser Settings

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable cookies, it is important to understand how this may affect your experience on snobwing.digital. The table below summarizes the potential impact of disabling each category of cookies:

Cookie Category Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies The Website may not function correctly. You may be unable to complete online orders, maintain your cart, or navigate securely between pages. These cookies cannot be disabled without significantly impairing your ability to use the Website.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to measure and improve the performance of our Website. This does not directly affect your browsing experience, but may mean we are slower to identify and fix issues with the site.
Functional Cookies You may lose personalized features such as saved preferences, remembered location settings, and cart persistence across sessions. Your experience may be less tailored and convenient.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You will not benefit from personalized promotions or Wing Snob offers tailored to your browsing behavior.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universally agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our Website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools described in Section 7 to limit tracking by specific third parties.

We will continue to monitor developments in this area and will update our practices if industry standards emerge.

10. Third-Party Websites and Links

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, including food delivery platforms, social media pages, and other services. These third-party websites operate independently and have their own cookie policies, which we do not control. We recommend that you review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit via links on our Website. Wing Snob is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such third-party websites.

11. Children's Privacy

Our Website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information through the use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action.

12. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
