Last Updated: June 24, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," or "our"). We operate the website located at hangryjoesdining.click (the "Site"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy on our Site, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your use of our website. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in compliance with applicable United States 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.

If you have any questions about how we use cookies or this Cookie Policy, please contact us at the details provided at the end of this document.

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 operators to make websites work more efficiently, enhance the user experience, and provide information to the website owner.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. When you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or activity.

Cookies are not harmful to your device. They do not contain executable code or viruses. They are simply small data files that help websites function and provide valuable insights to website operators.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit hangryjoesdining.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. The next time you visit our Site, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, which then reads the information stored in the cookie. This process allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor, remember your settings and preferences, and provide you with a more personalized and efficient experience.

Some cookies are set directly by our website (known as "first-party cookies"), while others are set by third-party services that appear on our pages (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types of cookies are covered by this policy.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other tracking technologies such as:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small, transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and engagement.
  • Local Storage: A mechanism that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's settings and characteristics to identify it.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use on our website into four main types, as described below:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility.

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors receive error messages. This information is used in aggregate form to help us improve the performance and design of our website. These cookies do not collect information that identifies individual visitors.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, your location, or customizations you have made) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Examples of functional cookies on our site include:

  • Remembering your preferred restaurant location or dining preferences
  • Storing your order history for quick reordering
  • Remembering accessibility settings such as font size or contrast preferences

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging to you. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help 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 is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and deliver targeted advertising. If you have visited our website, you may see our advertisements on other websites you visit. We may also use Facebook Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our social media advertising campaigns.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to manage and disable cookies, it is important to understand that doing so may affect your experience on our website. The impact will depend on which types of cookies you disable:

7.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies
