This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use (i.e., the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used), and how you can control the cookie preferences on our website.

This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we handle personal data collected through our website. Together, these documents outline our commitment to protecting your privacy and data rights under applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing unfair or deceptive practices.

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 more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and report information about website activity.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser when you first visit a website. Your browser stores these files and sends them back to the server each time you make a subsequent request. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or items in a shopping cart.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit wingsnobkitchen.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. The cookie is stored as a small file on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server. This process enables our website to recognize your device and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are stored only during your browser session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies are typically used to manage user sessions and improve website performance.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device even after you close your browser, until they expire or are manually deleted. Persistent cookies allow websites to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits.

Cookies can also be classified as first-party cookies (set directly by our website) or third-party cookies (set by external services or partners, such as analytics providers or advertisers).

8. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our website does not alter its data collection and use practices when it receives a DNT signal from your browser. However, we respect your right to control cookies through the methods described in this policy.

We continue to monitor developments in DNT and will update our practices as industry standards and applicable laws evolve.
