This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and explains in detail what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, how you can control them, and the impact of disabling certain cookies on your experience with our website.

This policy applies to all users who visit or interact with our website, whether you are browsing our menu, placing an online food order, or simply exploring what Hangry Joe's has to offer. We encourage you to read this policy carefully so that you understand your rights and our obligations with respect to cookies and tracking technologies.

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 in order to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable personalized experiences.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you visit and are delivered to your browser. Your browser stores the cookies, and each time you make a request to the server, the cookie is sent back, allowing the server to identify your browser and remember information about your preferences or previous actions.

Cookies do many different jobs. Some cookies are strictly necessary to make a website function properly. Others help website owners understand how visitors are using their sites, remember your preferences, or deliver advertisements that are relevant to your interests.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Hangry Joe's (i.e., by the domain hangryjoes-meal.top). These cookies are used to provide you with core functionality and to remember your preferences as you navigate our website.

Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. For example, when you visit our website, we may use services from Google Analytics, Google Ads, or Meta (Facebook), and those services may set their own cookies on your device. These third-party companies have their own privacy and cookie policies.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They do not collect information from your device and expire as soon as your browser session ends.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. These cookies are reactivated each time you visit the website that placed them on your device.

3. How We Use Cookies

Hangry Joe's uses cookies for a variety of purposes related to the operation of our food ordering website and the improvement of your online experience. Specifically, we use cookies to:

  • Analyze how visitors interact with our website so we can improve our services;
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns;
  • Deliver personalized content and advertisements based on your browsing behavior;
  • Protect our website and users from fraudulent activity and security threats;
  • Comply with our legal obligations under applicable United States law.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies used on hangryjoes-meal.top into four main categories: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising cookies.

4.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. They enable you to navigate our site and use its core features, such as accessing secure areas, placing food orders, and processing payments. Without these cookies, services that you have asked for — such as adding items to your cart or checking out — cannot be provided. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools.

Essential cookies comply with the requirements of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act and applicable state-level consumer protection laws in the United States, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents.

4.2 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 location for delivery purposes, your dietary preferences, or items you have previously viewed. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how our visitors interact with the hangryjoes-meal.top website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This information allows us to improve the structure, content, and usability of our website. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect this data.

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in a way that does not personally identify anyone. For more information about how Google uses data from our website, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as to 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 may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
