1. Introduction

Welcome to East Coast Wings (referred to in this policy as "we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at eastcoastwings-eat.click (the "Website") and explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our Website.

By continuing to use our Website, you acknowledge and consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our Website. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our Website.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

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. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, East Coast Wings) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through our Website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our Website and when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies can be classified as "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually).

Similar technologies to cookies include:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent image files used to track user behavior and interactions with emails and websites.
• Local Storage: A mechanism that allows websites to store data in a user's browser without an expiration date.
• JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in web pages to track and collect data about user behavior.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device to create a unique identifier.

When we use the term "cookies" in this policy, we are referring to all of these technologies collectively unless otherwise specified.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

East Coast Wings uses cookies for a variety of important reasons, including:

• To ensure our Website functions correctly and securely.
• To remember your preferences and settings so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit.
• To understand how visitors use and interact with our Website so we can improve performance and user experience.
• To deliver targeted and relevant advertising to users who have visited our Website.
• To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
• To comply with legal obligations under applicable United States laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act and state consumer protection laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types:

4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our Website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, page navigation, and access to secure areas of the Website. Without these cookies, our Website cannot operate correctly, and services you have asked for cannot be provided.

These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your experience on our Website.

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 Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see 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 Website and will not be able to monitor its performance.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable our 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. Functional cookies help us remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region), provide enhanced features, and ensure that the Website behaves in a way that is tailored to your preferences. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They are set through our Website 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. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. These cookies track your browsing habits across different websites and can share this data with other organizations such as advertisers.
