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 to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to supply website owners and third parties with information about how users interact with the site.
Cookies typically contain the following information:
- The name of the server that placed the cookie
- An identifier in the form of a unique number
- The expiration date of the cookie (if applicable)
Each time you return to a website, your browser sends the cookie back to the web server, allowing the server to recognize your device and remember your preferences or activity from previous visits.
2.1 Types of Cookies by Duration
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the Website, such as keeping items in a shopping cart.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
2.2 Types of Cookies by Origin
- First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set directly by Wing Snob's website and are used to improve your experience on our site.
- Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by third-party services (such as Google or Facebook) that appear on our pages. Third parties may use these cookies to track your browsing activity across multiple websites.
3. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit wingsnob-cafe.click for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie, and on subsequent visits, sends it back to our server. This process allows us to:
- Recognize you as a returning visitor
- Remember your language preferences and display settings
- Keep you logged in (if applicable) during your session
- Analyze how you interact with our content
- Deliver personalized advertising based on your interests
- Improve our Website's performance and user experience
Beyond traditional cookies, we may also use technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and similar tracking mechanisms that function similarly to cookies. For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only 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 would not function properly. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable law.
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 the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and where errors occur. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. 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.
We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze website usage data. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions and generates statistical reports about Website usage.

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.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
We use Google Ads conversion tracking, which uses cookies to track whether a user who clicked on an advertisement actually performed an action on our Website. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
