Last Updated: May 28, 2026  |  Effective Date: May 28, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). This Cookie Policy applies to the website hangryjoesfood.rest and any related digital services we operate. It explains how Hangry Joe's uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website, place an online order, browse our menu, or otherwise interact with our digital platforms.

By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where required by applicable law, we will request your explicit consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You may withdraw your consent or change your cookie preferences at any time using the methods described in this policy.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional detail about how we collect, process, 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. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, the items you have added to a cart, or your login status.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They are simply data files that store a small amount of information. Most cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser (known as "session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a longer period (known as "persistent cookies").

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit hangryjoesfood.rest, 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 personalize your experience accordingly. This process happens automatically and in a matter of milliseconds.

There are two primary categories of cookies based on their origin:

• First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Hangry Joe's (i.e., by hangryjoesfood.rest). They are used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our website.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services and partners whose features are embedded on our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
• Local Storage: A feature of modern web browsers that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Temporary storage that only persists for the duration of your browser session.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings to create a unique identifier.

For simplicity, we use the term "cookies" throughout this policy to refer to all of these technologies collectively, unless otherwise specified.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Hangry Joe's uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed description of each category and why we use them.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

Essential cookies enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure login, shopping cart functionality, and access to secure areas of our website. They do not collect information about you that could be used for marketing purposes. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, they do not require your consent under applicable law; however, you can still disable them through your browser settings, which may affect the usability of our site.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and where visitors are coming from. All information collected by these cookies 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.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, your region or location, your order history, or your preferred restaurant location. 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.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies may be 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 websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less targeted and relevant to your interests.
