1. Introduction
Welcome to Wings Over ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website wingsover-eat.rest, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. As a food service business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing unfair or deceptive practices, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents.
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us at [email protected].
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their site.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visit.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit wingsover-eat.rest, our server sends one or more cookies to your browser. Your browser stores these cookies on your device. Each time you make a subsequent request to our server, your browser sends the applicable cookies back to us, enabling us to:
- Recognize you as a returning visitor
- Remember your preferences and settings (such as language or location)
- Understand how you navigate and interact with our website
- Improve our website's performance and functionality
- Deliver relevant advertising and promotional content
- Analyze traffic patterns and user behavior for business insights
2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Wings Over (wingsover-eat.rest) and are only readable by our website. They are primarily used to enhance your experience on our site.
Third-party cookies are set by domains other than wingsover-eat.rest, typically by our trusted service partners such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites.
2.3 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They enable the website to link your actions during a single browsing session.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (defined by the cookie's expiration date) or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each category and the purposes they serve.
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain features or services you have requested cannot be provided. They do not require your consent because they are strictly necessary for the delivery of our online services. Essential cookies help with things such as:

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and any error messages encountered. This information is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. We use this data to improve the performance and usability of our website.
We currently use Google Analytics to collect and analyze this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions on our website. The data collected is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google's use of this data is governed by their own privacy policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies can remember your preferred location, language settings, or dietary preferences when browsing our menu. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.
3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers. We use Google Ads cookies to support our online marketing efforts.
