1. Introduction
Welcome to Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website hangryjoesfood.top, and the choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state regulations, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us at [email protected].
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 provide a better user experience, and to collect analytical information about how visitors interact with websites.
Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember information about the user's preferences or past actions.
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. For more information about how we handle personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit hangryjoesfood.top, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it either temporarily for the duration of your session (session cookies) or permanently until a specified expiration date (persistent cookies). Each time you revisit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and personalize your experience.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics or advertising platforms (third-party cookies).
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies on hangryjoesfood.top. Below is a detailed explanation of each category:
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain features and services cannot be provided. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms, setting privacy preferences, logging in, or adding items to a shopping cart. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled without significantly affecting your browsing experience.
Under the CCPA/CPRA and applicable FTC guidelines, strictly necessary cookies generally do not require your prior consent as they are fundamental to the operation of the website.
3.2 Analytical / 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 and see how visitors move around our site. 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 help us understand how our customers use the site. You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable our 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. These cookies remember your preferences, such as your language settings, region, font size preferences, and other customizations, making your visits more personalized and efficient.
3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies
These cookies are 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. 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. We use Google Ads conversion tracking and similar platforms to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, which may include certain uses of advertising cookies. Please see Section 7 for instructions on how to exercise your rights.
