Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 25, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Wing Snob (referred to in this policy as "we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at chicks-wingsnob.digital and all related subdomains, pages, and digital services operated by Wing Snob.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can exercise your rights to control their use. Please read this policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website.
By continuing to browse or use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where required by applicable law — including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) — we will request your explicit consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
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 more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized browsing experience, and to gather analytical information about how visitors use their sites.
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 certain information about your preferences or past actions.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible graphics embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been viewed.
- Local Storage Objects (LSOs): Data stored locally on your browser that persists beyond a single session.
- Session Storage: Temporary data stored for the duration of a single browsing session.
- Fingerprinting: A method of identifying devices based on unique configurations and settings.
For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on our website, each serving a distinct purpose:
3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
Essential cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic site features. Without these cookies, services that you have asked for — such as placing a food order online — cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver our website and services to you, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, you can still block or delete them by changing your browser settings (see Section 6 below), though this may affect how our website functions.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages visitors go to most often, how long they spend on each page, and whether they receive error messages from certain pages. This information helps us improve how our website works and ensure that our customers can find the content and food options they are looking for.
We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used analytics platforms in the world, to collect and analyze this data. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use through cookies stored on users' devices. The information generated is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location, language settings, or customizations for your food orders) and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising 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 to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions from our advertising campaigns and to enable remarketing features, which allow us to show you relevant Wing Snob advertisements on other websites you visit across the Google Display Network.
