1. Introduction

Welcome to Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at hangryjoesmeal.click and explains in detail how and why we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site.

By continuing to browse or use our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree, you have the right to disable or restrict cookies through your browser settings or the opt-out tools described below, though this may affect your experience on our site.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website. If you have any questions, you can reach us at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to give website owners information about how their sites are being used.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts a website and sent to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie file and sends it back to the server each time you revisit that website. Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are assigned uniquely to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit hangryjoesmeal.click, our server places one or more cookies on your browser. These cookies allow us to:

  • Recognize your device on return visits
  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Understand how you interact with our website
  • Improve the speed and security of the site
  • Deliver personalized content and advertisements
  • Analyze aggregate traffic patterns to improve performance

2.2 Other Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand user interactions.
  • Local Storage: A feature in modern browsers that allows websites to store data locally on your device.
  • Session Storage: Temporary data stored in the browser that is deleted when you close the browser tab or window.
  • Fingerprinting: Collecting information about your browser and device configuration to identify you across sessions.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use different categories of cookies for different purposes. Below is a breakdown of the types of cookies deployed on hangryjoesmeal.click.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly, and they cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of our website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies.

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 the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and whether visitors encounter error messages. 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, which is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

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. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. Examples include remembering your location to suggest nearby Hangry Joe's menu items, storing your language preferences, and remembering your food preferences or past orders.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). 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 directly store 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.

These cookies track your online activity to help advertisers deliver more relevant advertising. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the sharing of your personal information through advertising cookies may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal data. California residents have the right to opt out of such sharing. Please see Section 7 for details.
