Effective Date: July 1, 2026  |  Last Updated: July 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to the Cookie Policy of Hangry Joe's (referred to in this document as "we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to the website located at new-hangryjoes.rest and all subdomains, pages, and digital services associated with it.

Like most modern websites, our site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide you with the best possible browsing experience, to analyze how our site is used, and to support our marketing efforts. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your online activity.

By continuing to use our website after reading this Cookie Policy, you acknowledge and agree to the use of cookies as described herein. If you do not wish to accept cookies, please refer to Section 7 of this policy for instructions on how to manage or disable them.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in compliance with applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding unfair or deceptive trade practices.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by websites to make them work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies are created by the web server hosting a website and delivered to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie and sends it back to the originating server each time you revisit that website. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit — such as your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This is further described in our Privacy Policy.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by new-hangryjoes.rest. They are used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than our website. They are placed by third-party service providers, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms, to help us understand site traffic and deliver targeted advertising.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (or until you manually delete them). They are activated every time you visit the website that created them.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to track activity on our website:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that help us track whether a page has been visited or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage mechanisms that allow websites to store data on your device beyond what cookies can hold.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but cleared when your browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings to create a unique "fingerprint" for analytics and fraud prevention purposes.

All references to "cookies" in this policy apply equally to these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on new-hangryjoes.rest. Each category serves a distinct purpose:

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without them, certain features or services cannot be provided. They typically include cookies that enable you to navigate the site, use secure areas, and access core functionality such as online ordering or contact forms. These cookies do not track your browsing habits and cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your experience on our website.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest in providing a functional website service.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether any error messages are encountered. This data helps us improve the performance and usability of our site. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics collects data about your behavior on our site using cookies such as _ga, _gid, and _gat.

Legal basis: Consent where required, or legitimate interest in improving our website and services.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or accessibility settings) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or using a live chat service.

Legal basis: Consent or legitimate interest in providing improved functionality.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements and promotional content that are relevant to you and your interests. They may be set by our advertising partners through our website. These partners may use this information to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites.

We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) conversion tracking and remarketing features, which rely on cookies such as _gcl_au. We may also use Facebook Pixel and similar tools from social media platforms.

7. How to Manage and Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies). There are several ways you can manage your cookie preferences:

7.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete cookies, or alert you when a cookie is being placed on your device. The steps for managing cookies vary by browser. Please refer to the help documentation for your specific browser:

Please note that if you use multiple browsers or devices, you will need to manage your cookie preferences on each one separately.

7.2 Google Analytics Opt-Out

To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to our website, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at:

This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information about your visit with Google Analytics.

7.3 Google Ads / Advertising Opt-Out

7.5 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted. We encourage you to use the opt-out mechanisms listed above if you wish to limit tracking.
