Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. Who We Are

This Cookie Policy applies to the website hangryjoesfood.digital (the "Website"), operated by Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," or "our"). If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us at:

• Email: [email protected]
• Website: hangryjoesfood.digital

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to gather analytical information about how visitors use the site.

A cookie typically contains the following information:

• The name of the website that placed the cookie
• A unique identifier (a string of numbers and letters)
• An expiration date, after which the cookie is no longer active
• Technical attributes such as whether the cookie can only be transmitted over a secure connection

When you return to a website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to the website's server. This allows the website to recognize your device and recall your preferences or past activity.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

Cookies work by establishing a dialogue between your browser and our web server. Here is a simplified breakdown of the process:

1. You visit hangryjoesfood.digital for the first time.
2. Our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it locally on your device.
3. On your next visit, your browser automatically sends the cookie back to our server.
4. Our server reads the cookie and uses the information to recognize you and customize your experience accordingly.

Cookies do not contain executable programs, viruses, or spyware, and they cannot access other information stored on your device beyond what was placed in the cookie itself.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

Cookies can be categorized based on how long they remain on your device:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your movements within a single browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (specified in the cookie itself) or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

2.3 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

• First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Hangry Joe's (i.e., by the hangryjoesfood.digital domain) and can only be read by our website.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external service providers whose services we have integrated into our website, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that signal when a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device in a way similar to cookies, but with larger storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser tab is closed.
• JavaScript Tags: Small snippets of code embedded in our Website that collect information about how you interact with the site.

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

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies we use into four main categories based on their purpose:

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our Website. Without them, certain features — such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, or placing orders — would not work. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes and do not track your browsing history across other websites.

Because these cookies are essential to the operation of the Website, they are enabled by default and cannot be switched off in our systems. Under applicable U.S. law, including guidance from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), strictly necessary cookies generally do not require prior consent.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to measure and analyze how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages are most visited, how long users stay, and whether they encounter error messages. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous; it does not identify any individual visitor. We use these insights to continuously improve the performance and content of our Website.

Our primary analytics tool is Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses its own cookies to track user interactions and generates statistical reports for us.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you have made in the past — such as your preferred language, region, or other settings — and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have specifically requested, such as remembering your menu favorites or saved delivery addresses. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized; they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited our Website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

If you are a resident of California, please note that certain uses of advertising cookies may be regulated under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). You may have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information as defined by California law.

5. Specific Cookies We Use

The table below provides detailed information about the specific cookies currently in use on hangryjoesfood.digital:

Note: This list is updated periodically as our services evolve. Third-party providers may also update their cookie practices independently. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of our third-party providers for the most current information.

6. 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:

6.1 Our Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit hangryjoesfood.digital, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. You can use this banner to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. You can revisit and update your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link available in the footer of our Website.

6.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, to accept only first-party cookies, or to alert you when a cookie is being placed. Below are links to the cookie management instructions for the most popular browsers:

• Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
• Mozilla Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop
• Apple Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac
• Microsoft Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge
• Opera: https://help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/#cookies

For mobile devices, please consult the documentation for your specific device operating system. Note that if you block all cookies through your browser settings, some features of our Website may not function as intended.

6.3 Opting Out of Google Analytics

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

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) to prohibit sending information to Google Analytics. It does not prevent information from being sent to the website itself or to other web analytics services.

6.4 Opting Out of Google Advertising Cookies

You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google by visiting Google's Ad Settings page:

https://adssettings.google.com

Alternatively, you can opt out of Google and other participating companies through the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out tool:

https://optout.networkadvertising.org/

6.5 Opting Out of Facebook / Meta Cookies

You can manage your Facebook ad preferences and opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting:

https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads

Additionally, residents of the United States can use the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out tool to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies:

https://optout.aboutads.info/

6.6 Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our Website does not alter its behavior in response to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect the functionality and your experience on hangryjoesfood.digital. The specific impacts depend on which types of cookies you disable:

• Disabling Essential Cookies: This is not generally possible through our Website settings as these are required for core functionality. Disabling them via your browser may cause the Website to not work at all, including the inability to place orders, log into your account, or navigate securely between pages.
• Disabling Analytics Cookies: We will no longer be able to collect data about how you use our Website. This means we may be less effective at identifying and fixing issues, understanding which content is most useful, and improving our services based on real user behavior.
• Disabling Functional Cookies: You may experience a reduced level of personalization. For example, your saved menu preferences, favorite items, and delivery addresses may not be remembered between visits, requiring you to re-enter this information each time.
• Disabling Advertising Cookies: You will still see advertisements, but they will no longer be tailored to your interests. You may see the same ads more frequently, and the ads shown may be less relevant to you. Disabling these cookies does not reduce the total number of advertisements you see.

8. Cookies and U.S. Privacy Law

In the United States, cookie practices are governed by a combination of federal and state laws. At the federal level, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act requires that businesses disclose their data collection practices and honor commitments made in their privacy and cookie policies. Failure to do so may constitute an unfair or deceptive trade practice.

At the state level, if you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), grants you additional rights regarding your personal information, including information collected through cookies. These rights include:

• The right to know what personal information is collected about you
• The right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
• The right to delete personal information collected about you (with certain exceptions)
• The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

If you are a California resident and wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

Other states, including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Texas, have also enacted comprehensive privacy laws that may provide similar rights to their residents. We are committed to honoring applicable privacy rights across all U.S. jurisdictions.

9. Third-Party Websites and Links

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, and partner services. This Cookie Policy applies solely to cookies used on hangryjoesfood.digital. We have no control over the cookies or tracking technologies used by third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy or cookie practices. We encourage you to read the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.

10. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies we use, or applicable legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. If we make significant changes, we may also notify you through a prominent notice on our Website or via email.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of our Website after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
