Cookie Policy
Last Updated: June 24, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Wing Snob (referred to as "we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website wingsnobhouse.rest and explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site.
By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge and agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out of certain cookies as described in the sections below.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website. If you have any questions, 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-connected 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 personalize your experience.
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 these cookies back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.
There are two main categories of cookies based on their origin:
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Wing Snob (the website you are visiting) and are used to improve your experience on our site.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms. We do not control these cookies directly.
Cookies can also be classified by duration:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They help websites recognize you as you navigate between pages during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They help websites remember your preferences across multiple visits.
3. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): These are tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
- Local Storage: Similar to cookies, local storage allows websites to store data on your browser for a longer period without an expiration date.
- JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code used to collect information about how visitors interact with our website.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser, device, and settings to create a unique identifier for your device.
For simplicity, all references to "cookies" in this policy also include these similar tracking technologies.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
Wing Snob uses the following categories of cookies on our website wingsnobhouse.rest:
4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website will not function properly.
These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent under applicable law, including the FTC Act.
4.2 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 most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
We use Google Analytics to collect this data. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable our 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, some or all of these services may not function properly.
These cookies may remember your location, language preferences, or previously viewed menu items from Wing Snob's online menu.
4.4 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 work by 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 to serve relevant ads and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These third-party services have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
