Welcome to Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at hangryjoesfood.click and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and your rights to control their use.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and ensuring that your experience on our website is both functional and respectful of your privacy. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their sites.

When you visit hangryjoesfood.click, our web server may send a cookie to your device. Your browser stores this cookie and sends it back to our server whenever you return to our website. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, when combined with other data we collect about you, they may be used to identify you as an individual. We handle all such data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), where applicable.

2.1 How Cookies Work

Cookies operate through a simple request-response cycle:

  • You visit hangryjoesfood.click for the first time.
  • Our server sends one or more cookies to your browser.
  • Your browser stores these cookies on your device.
  • On your next visit, your browser automatically sends the stored cookies back to our server.
  • Our server reads the cookies and recognizes your device, allowing us to provide a personalized and seamless experience.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

Cookies can be classified by how long they remain on your device:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your current browser session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies are essential for certain website functions, such as keeping your order in a shopping cart.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that placed them. Persistent cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences.

2.3 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by hangryjoesfood.click. We control these cookies and use them primarily to enable core website functionality and improve your user experience.
