Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 18, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Wing Snob. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience on our website, snob-wing.rest. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, and how you can control them.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, 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 their websites work more efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to deliver personalized experiences to visitors.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you revisit the website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits or preferences.

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 third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit snob-wing.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your device. The cookie typically contains:

  • The name of the domain (website) that placed the cookie
  • The duration of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device)
  • A unique identifier, usually a randomly generated number
  • Information about your preferences or behavior on our website

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are erased from your device when you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate around a website — for example, keeping you logged in while you browse from page to page.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that placed the cookie. These are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Wing Snob uses several types of cookies on our website. Each type serves a different purpose, as described below:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, the website would not operate correctly, and certain services you request — such as placing an online order or accessing secure areas — 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 for the delivery of our website and services, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, but this may affect your ability to use core features of our website.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors to our website and to see how visitors move around our site when they are using it. This helps us improve the way our website works — for example, by ensuring that users can find what they are looking for easily.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect and analyze information about how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

For more information about Google's privacy practices, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, functional cookies may be used to remember items you have added to an online order, or your preferred menu items.

These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information collected by these cookies 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 more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as to help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. We use Google Ads conversion tracking cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. We may also utilize Facebook Pixel to track conversions from Facebook ads and optimize our ad campaigns.
