This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional details about our data practices.

This Cookie Policy applies to all pages and services available through hangryjoes-eat.top. It describes what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and your rights and options regarding cookie management. We encourage you to read this policy carefully so that you can make informed decisions about your use of our website.

By accessing and using our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using 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 provide useful features, and to collect information about how visitors interact with their websites.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you are visiting and are sent to your browser. Your browser stores cookies in a designated folder on your device. When you revisit the same website, your browser sends the relevant cookies back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences and actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you directly, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by the web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

2.1 Types of Cookies by Origin

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies that are set directly by Hangry Joe's when you visit our website. They are used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They enable websites to link your actions during a single browsing session and are used for security and navigation purposes.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. They allow websites to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. How Cookies Work on Our Website

When you first visit hangryjoes-eat.top, we may display a cookie consent banner or notice informing you about our use of cookies. Depending on your location and applicable law, we may request your consent before placing certain non-essential cookies on your device.

Once cookies are placed on your device, they work in the background to enhance your experience. For example, when you browse our online menu, cookies may remember your location preferences so that you see relevant menu items and pricing. When you add items to a cart or make a reservation, cookies help maintain your session so that your information is not lost as you navigate between pages.

Analytics cookies track how you interact with our website — which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, and what links you click. This information helps us understand how visitors use our website and enables us to improve its content and functionality over time.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are fundamental to the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access.

The data collected helps us improve the way our website works and ensure visitors find what they need quickly and easily.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect this type of information. Google Analytics uses its own set of cookies to track and report website traffic. The information generated about your use of our website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our website. 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.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging for you. They may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads. These cookies track your browsing habits across websites and build a profile of your interests to show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device.

These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, limit the number of times you see an advertisement, and help us understand the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

7.1 If You Disable Essential Cookies

7.2 If You Disable Analytics Cookies

Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use our website or place orders.
