Last Updated: April 15, 2026  |  Effective Date: April 15, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Wing Snob ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). We operate the website wingsnobchick.rest (the "Site") and are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use to collect information when you visit our platform.

This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand:

  • What cookies are and how they work
  • What types of cookies we use on our Site
  • Why we use cookies and what information they collect
  • How you can manage, control, or disable cookies
  • What happens if you choose to disable certain cookies

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and describe how we process any personal data we collect from or about you.

By continuing to browse or use our Site after this policy is presented to you, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where required by applicable law — including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) — we will seek your 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-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide website owners with analytical information.

When you visit wingsnobchick.rest, our servers may send a cookie to your browser, which stores it in a designated folder on your device. The next time you visit our Site, your browser sends that cookie back to our server, allowing the Site to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions.

2.1 How Cookies Work

Cookies operate through a simple request-and-response cycle:

  1. Your browser requests a webpage from our server.
  2. Our server responds by delivering the page along with one or more cookies.
  3. Your browser saves the cookie(s) to your device.
  4. On your next visit, your browser sends the stored cookies back to our server.
  5. Our server reads the cookie data and personalizes your experience accordingly.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

Cookies can be categorized based on how long they remain on your device:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browser session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies help us track your movements from page to page so you don't have to repeatedly enter the same information.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (defined by an expiration date) or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences across multiple visits.

2.3 Types of Cookies by Origin

  • First-Party Cookies: These cookies are placed directly by Wing Snob (wingsnobchick.rest) when you visit our Site. They are generally used for core website functionality and analytics.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are placed by external companies and service providers whose services we have integrated into our Site, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of those respective third parties.

2.4 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views or email opens.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in our Site that enable analytics platforms and advertising networks to collect data about your interactions.

All references to "cookies" in this policy also apply to these similar tracking technologies where the context is appropriate.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on wingsnobchick.rest. Each category serves a different purpose, and we describe them in detail below.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. Without them, certain parts of the Site would not work as intended. Essential cookies do not require your consent under most applicable laws because they are necessary for the delivery of a service you have explicitly requested.

Essential cookies on our Site may:

  • Enable you to navigate between pages without losing your session data
  • Remember items you have placed in an online order cart
  • Authenticate your login session (if applicable)
  • Ensure the security of your interaction with our site by preventing cross-site request forgery
  • Remember your cookie consent preferences

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it cannot be used to personally identify you. We use this data to improve the structure, content, and performance of our Site.

Analytics cookies help us:

  • Count the number of visitors to our Site
  • Identify which pages are most and least popular
  • Understand how users navigate through our Site
  • Detect technical issues and errors
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. 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.

Functional cookies on our Site may:

  • Remember your preferred language or region
  • Remember your location for showing relevant restaurant information
  • Store your preferences for accessibility features
  • Enable embedded third-party content such as maps or video players

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

Advertising cookies help us:

  • Show you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history and interests
  • Track conversions from our advertising campaigns (e.g., when you visit our Site after clicking an ad)
  • Build a profile of your interests to serve you relevant ads on other websites
  • Prevent showing you the same advertisement too many times

Under the CCPA/CPRA, the use of advertising cookies may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. California residents have the right to opt out of this. See Section 6 below for more details.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have every right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on wingsnobchick.rest in the following ways:

Cookie Category Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Core website functionality will be impaired. You may not be able to complete an online order, navigate between pages smoothly, or use secure features of our Site. We strongly advise against disabling essential cookies.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to collect data about how you use our Site. This does not directly affect your browsing experience, but it limits our ability to improve our website based on user behavior data.
Functional Cookies Your preferences (such as your saved location or language settings) will not be remembered between visits, meaning you may need to re-enter information each time you visit our Site.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling advertising cookies does not stop advertising; it only affects the targeting of ads you receive.

Disabling all cookies by changing your browser settings may result in certain features of our Site not working as intended. Wing Snob is not responsible for any diminished experience resulting from your choice to restrict or disable cookies.
