1. Introduction
Wing Snob operates the website snob-wing.top and is committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your online experience. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website, and what choices you have regarding their use.
This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access our website, browse our food menu, place orders, or interact with any content hosted on snob-wing.top. We encourage you to read this policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website.
By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described below. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
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 websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser when you visit a website. Your browser stores the cookie and sends it back to the same server with each subsequent request. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, or items in your shopping cart.
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.
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies can be categorized based on their lifespan:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Session cookies help our website function properly during your visit.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you delete them manually. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.
3. How We Use Cookies
Wing Snob uses cookies for a variety of important purposes. We use them to operate and improve our website, to personalize your experience, to understand how visitors use our site, and to deliver relevant advertising. More specifically, we use cookies to:
- Enable core website functionality such as navigation, menu browsing, and online ordering
- Remember your preferences and settings to improve your experience on return visits
- Analyze how visitors interact with our website so we can improve performance and content
- Measure the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns
- Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity on our platform

4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on snob-wing.top into the following types:
4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for our website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. Without these cookies, parts of our website — such as the online ordering system or the shopping cart — would not work correctly.
These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are exempt from consent requirements under most applicable privacy frameworks.
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.

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.
4.3 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 pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. Functional cookies may remember your location, your preferred language, or your food preferences to deliver a more customized experience.
4.4 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. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

9. Do Not Track Signals
