Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 15, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to the Cookie Policy of Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at hangryjoes-meal.rest (the "Website"). This policy is intended to give you clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and the choices available to you regarding their use.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our Website. If you have any questions about this policy or our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how it is used. As a food service business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding fair and transparent data practices.

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 by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to collect information about how users interact with their websites.

Cookies are created when your browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser, which then creates a text file on your device. Every time you return to that website, the browser retrieves the cookie and sends it back to the website's server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences and actions over time.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner — such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms — are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality to be provided through a website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit hangryjoes-meal.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. The cookie stores a small amount of data on your device, which may include:

• A unique identifier for your browser or device
• Your preferences and settings on our Website
• Information about your browsing session (such as pages visited and time spent)
• Authentication tokens if you log into an account
• Shopping cart or order information for our food ordering services

Cookies do not contain your name, address, or other personally identifiable information unless you have explicitly provided it. However, cookies may be linked to personal information that we hold about you in other ways.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
• Local Storage: Similar to cookies, local storage allows data to be stored locally within your browser with no expiration date.
• Session Storage: Stores data for one browsing session, which is deleted when the browser tab is closed.
• Fingerprinting: Collecting information about your device's configuration (browser type, operating system, screen resolution, etc.) to identify your device.

Throughout this Cookie Policy, when we refer to "cookies," we are referring collectively to all of these technologies unless otherwise specified.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our Website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. Without these cookies, certain services that you have requested — such as placing a food order or accessing secure areas of our site — cannot be provided. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preference settings, although you can configure your browser to block them (but this may affect website functionality).

Essential cookies are used for purposes such as:

• Enabling you to navigate our website and use its features
• Maintaining your shopping cart or food order during a session
• Authenticating your identity if you log into an account
• Ensuring the security of your session
• Remembering your cookie consent preferences

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 most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and how users interact with our online food ordering features. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Website, and this data is shared with other Google services.

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. They allow us to remember choices you make (such as your language preference, your location for delivery purposes, or your favorite menu items) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our Website may be less personalized.

3.4 Advertising and 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 websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Note that disabling these cookies does not mean you will see fewer ads — it simply means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to promote Hangry Joe's and our food services to potential customers online.
