Last Updated: June 4, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Wing Snob. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your interactions with our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about the cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can exercise control over them.
This policy applies to all pages and services available through wingsnobeat.click. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, you can 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 efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting 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 our website for the first time, your browser receives a cookie file from our server or from a third-party service we use. This cookie is stored locally on your device. Each subsequent time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing us to recognize your browser and remember information about your previous visit.
Cookies typically contain the following information:
- The name of the server that placed the cookie
- An identifier (a unique number or string of characters)
- An expiry date (after which the cookie is automatically deleted)
- Any values or preferences stored in the cookie
2.2 Other Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent 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: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally within the browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is only retained for the duration of the browser session and is cleared when the browser is closed.
- JavaScript: Code that runs in your browser to enable interactive features and track user behavior on our website.
Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer collectively to all of these technologies unless stated otherwise.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use into four main types based on their purpose:
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
Essential cookies allow core website functionality such as:
- Maintaining your session when you browse from page to page
- Remembering items in your online order or cart
- Enabling secure login and account management
- Applying your cookie consent preferences
- Preventing fraudulent activity and ensuring security
You cannot opt out of essential cookies as they are strictly necessary for the website to operate. Without these cookies, services that you have asked for cannot be provided.
3.2 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 the most and least popular, and how visitors move around the site.
All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used web analytics services, to help us analyze how users use our website.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the 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 website pages.
Functional cookies help us:
- Remember your preferences (such as language or region)
- Remember your login details so you don't have to re-enter them
- Remember menu customizations or food preferences
- Provide live chat and customer support tools
- Enable social media features and sharing buttons
If you do not allow functional cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
3.4 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.
Advertising cookies allow us and our partners to:
- Deliver personalized advertisements based on your browsing history
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
- Limit the number of times you see an advertisement
- Retarget you with relevant ads after you leave our website
These cookies do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
