Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 24, 2026

1. Introduction

Wing Snob operates the website wingsnobhouse.click and is committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and should be read alongside it.

This policy applies to all users of our website, including visitors, customers, and anyone who interacts with our online ordering system, promotions, or digital content. We have drafted this policy in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other applicable digital privacy regulations.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, you may contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide functionality, and give website owners information about how their sites are being used.

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 information about your preferences or past actions.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been opened or accessed.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that exists only for the duration of your browser session and is cleared when you close your browser.
  • Tracking Scripts: JavaScript code embedded in web pages that tracks user behavior, actions, and navigation across our site.

For the purposes of this policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies."

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit wingsnobhouse.click, our server sends a cookie file to your web browser, which stores it on your device. Each cookie contains a unique identifier and certain information. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you or your preferences.

Cookies can be classified by who sets them and how long they last:

  • First-Party Cookies: Set directly by Wing Snob and used primarily to improve your experience on our site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms. These parties may collect data about your browsing habits across multiple websites.
  • Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browser session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time (or until you delete them) and are activated each time you return to our website.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a description of each category and why we use them.

4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, our website cannot function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, shopping cart functionality, and online ordering. These cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled without affecting basic website functionality.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, we do not require your consent to set them under applicable law.

4.2 Functional / Preference Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, region, delivery address, or other settings — to provide a more personalized experience. They may also be used to remember your login status so you do not need to re-enter your credentials every time you visit. While not strictly necessary, disabling these cookies may reduce the quality of your experience on our site.

4.3 Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on the site, error messages encountered, and how users navigate between pages. This data is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it does not directly identify any individual user. We use this information to improve our website's performance, content, and overall user experience.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose, which is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form.

4.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to track your browsing habits and interests so that we and our advertising partners can show you more relevant advertisements. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising networks with which we partner, including Google Ads and Meta (Facebook).

6. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Wing Snob processes cookie-related data in compliance with applicable United States law. Specifically:

  • FTC Act Compliance: Under the Federal Trade Commission Act, we are committed to transparent and fair data practices. Our cookie usage does not constitute deceptive or unfair business conduct.
  • CCPA / CPRA Compliance: If you are a resident of California, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights. Some advertising cookies may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under California law. You may opt out using the mechanisms described in Section 8 below.

For essential cookies, no consent is required as these are necessary for the operation of our website. For all other cookie categories, we rely on your consent, which you may provide or withdraw at any time.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

You have the right to choose whether to accept or decline cookies. However, please be aware that disabling certain types of cookies may affect your experience on wingsnobhouse.click:

  • Disabling Essential Cookies: If you block or delete essential cookies, core website functions such as adding items to your cart, completing an order, or logging into your account may not work correctly. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
  • Disabling Functional Cookies: You may lose saved preferences such as your delivery address, preferred language, or login status. You may need to re-enter this information on every visit.
  • Disabling Analytics Cookies: Our ability to understand how our website is used and to improve its performance will be limited. This does not affect your user experience directly but may reduce the quality of improvements we can make over time.
  • Disabling Advertising Cookies: You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests and browsing behavior. Disabling these cookies does not reduce the volume of ads you see — only their relevance.
