By continuing to use our Website, you acknowledge and consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree to the use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described below. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our Website.

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 their websites work efficiently, provide reporting information, and enable certain features and functionality.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts a website and delivered to your browser. The browser stores the cookie, and each time you revisit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, items in your shopping cart, and other settings.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

  • First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set directly by Hangry Joe's (the website you are visiting). They are used to recognize you when you return to our Website and to remember your preferences.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by a domain other than our Website. Third-party service providers, such as Google Analytics and advertising networks, may place cookies on your device when you visit our Website.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate through our Website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (or until you delete them). They are used to remember your preferences and recognize you on future visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Hangry Joe's uses the following categories of cookies on hangryjoes-meal.digital:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential to the operation of our Website. Without these cookies, services that you have requested — such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, or placing an order — cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect information that could be used for marketing or to track your browsing activity on other websites.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver our Website's services, they cannot be disabled without severely impacting your experience. Under applicable U.S. law, including FTC guidelines, these cookies are generally exempt from requiring explicit consent.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count the number of visits to our Website and track how visitors move around it. This helps us understand which pages are most popular and how users interact with our content, enabling us to improve our Website's performance and user experience. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze usage data. Google Analytics uses cookies to track interactions with our Website and reports on that data to help us understand user behavior.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or display settings) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable elements of our web pages. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post.

3.4 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, as well as to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited our Website and may share this information with other organizations, such as advertising networks.

We use Google Ads and may use cookies from other advertising platforms, including Facebook/Meta, to serve targeted advertisements to users who have previously visited hangryjoes-meal.digital. This practice is known as "remarketing" or "retargeting."
