1. Introduction
Welcome to Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). We operate the website hangryjoes-food.rest (the "Site"), where we provide information about our food services, menu offerings, online ordering, and other related services.
This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our Site, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
We are committed to being transparent about our data practices. If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us at [email protected].
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 website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide reporting information about how the website is being used.
Cookies are set by either the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party organizations whose content or services appear on the page you are viewing (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies do not typically contain any personally identifiable information on their own, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our Site, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our Site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or previous activity.
Cookies can be classified in several ways:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They help our website function properly during your visit.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They help us recognize you when you return to our Site.
- First-Party Cookies: Set directly by Hangry Joe's when you visit our Site.
- Third-Party Cookies: Set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics or social media platforms.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user behavior and email engagement.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that execute when you visit our Site and may collect information about your browsing activity.
- Browser Fingerprinting: A technique used to identify devices based on their unique configuration settings.
For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use into four main types, as described below:
4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our Site and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable law, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on digital consumer protection in the United States.
4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, and how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
4.3 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, affecting your experience on our Site.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our Site by our advertising partners. 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 store directly 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.
Residents of California may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) regarding the use of advertising cookies, including the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information collected through such cookies. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information.
