Cookie Policy
Last Updated: June 14, 2026 | Effective Date: June 14, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at fresh-hangryjoes.rest and all associated subdomains and services (collectively, the "Site"). This policy is intended to give you clear, transparent information about our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies so that you can make informed decisions about your privacy when visiting our Site.
We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies or this Cookie Policy, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.
By continuing to use our Site after being presented with our cookie consent notice, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time by following the instructions in the "How to Manage Cookies" section below.
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. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information. Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored for a specific period of time.
Cookies can be classified in several ways:
- By party: First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting — typically advertising networks, social media platforms, and analytics providers.
- By duration: Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.
- By purpose: Cookies serve different functions, including essential site operation, performance analytics, user preference memory, and targeted advertising.
In addition to cookies, we may also use related technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and tracking pixels. These technologies work similarly to cookies and may be used in conjunction with them. For simplicity, we refer to all these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
Hangry Joe's uses cookies for a variety of reasons that directly benefit your experience on our Site, including:
- Ensuring the website operates correctly and securely
- Remembering your preferences and settings across visits
- Understanding how visitors interact with our Site so we can improve it
- Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- Delivering relevant advertisements based on your interests
- Enabling social media sharing and integration features
- Preventing fraud and improving security
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on our Site into four main types:
4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly. Without them, services like secure logins, shopping carts, or form submissions would not work. Essential cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without significantly impairing the functionality of our Site. Because they are strictly necessary, they are placed on your device without your prior consent, as permitted under applicable law.
4.2 Analytics & Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve the structure, content, and functionality of our Site. For example, we use Google Analytics to track page views, session duration, traffic sources, and user behavior patterns. The information collected is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or font size) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or using a live chat tool. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
4.4 Advertising & Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies (also called targeting or marketing cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They also help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies may be set through our Site by our advertising partners, such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you choose not to allow these cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less personalized to your interests.
