This Cookie Policy applies to the website wingsnob-new.rest operated by Wing Snob (referred to as "we," "us," or "our"). It describes how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website, place an online order, or interact with our digital content.
By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may disable them through your browser settings or opt-out tools described below.

2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites function properly, work more efficiently, and provide reporting information.
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 also when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit wingsnob-new.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or previous actions.
Cookies can store a variety of information, including your preferences, login status, items in your cart, and browsing behavior. They do not contain executable code and cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user behavior and email open rates.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device to create a unique identifier.
3. Types of Cookies We Use

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 sites.
