Effective Date: May 7, 2026 | Last Updated: May 7, 2026

1. 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. These files are stored by your web browser and contain data that can be read by the website that created them on subsequent visits. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized experiences.

Cookies serve a variety of purposes. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of a website, enabling core functionalities such as security, network management, and accessibility. Other cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with their sites by collecting and reporting information anonymously. Still others are used to track visitors across websites to display relevant and engaging advertisements.

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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

2. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit wingsnob-eat.click for the first time, our website sends a cookie to your device. The next time you visit our website, your device sends the cookie back to our server, which allows us to recognize you and remember your preferences, login status, shopping cart contents, and other information from your previous visit.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the server the cookie was sent from
  • The lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device)
  • A value — usually a randomly generated unique number

There are two main types of cookies based on their lifespan:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your activities during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time after the browsing session ends. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and session storage to collect and store information about how you use our website.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked.
