1. Introduction
Welcome to East Coast Wings. This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at wings-eastcoast.digital and explains in detail how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site.
By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you can adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described in this document. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and the way we handle your personal information.
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, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, East Coast Wings — 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.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit wings-eastcoast.digital for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie 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 actions from your previous visit.
Cookies can store a variety of information, including your preferences, login status, items in a shopping cart, and analytical data about how you use our website. Most cookies contain a unique identifier — a random string of characters — that helps websites and servers identify the browser in which the cookie was stored.
2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your actions during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences and actions across multiple visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
East Coast Wings uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a specific purpose as outlined below.
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. Our website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.
Under the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act and applicable US consumer protection laws, we are committed to being transparent about the cookies we place on your device. Essential cookies do not require your explicit consent as they are strictly necessary for the delivery of services you have requested.
3.2 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 website, and whether visitors encounter any errors. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions on our site. The data collected is used to compile reports and help us improve our website. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
3.3 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 preferences such as language settings, region selections, and other customizable features of our site, including menu preferences and order history if applicable to our online ordering system.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. 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. However, you may still see general advertisements that are not tailored to your interests.
If you are a California resident, please note that under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), you have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information, which may include certain advertising cookies.
