By continuing to browse and use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood 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.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and gather analytical data about how visitors use the site.

Cookies are created and stored by your web browser (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge) and are sent back to the originating website each time you revisit it, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information by themselves, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

• First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Hangry Joe's (i.e., by the domain hangryjoes-eat.rest). They are primarily used to improve your experience on our site.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by domains other than hangryjoes-eat.rest. Third parties such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Facebook may place cookies on your device when you visit our site. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

• Session Cookies: These temporary cookies are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to help our website function during a single browsing session (e.g., keeping items in your cart as you navigate between pages).
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time (or until you delete them manually). They help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences across multiple visits.

2.3 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page was accessed or an email was opened.
• Local Storage: Browser-based storage mechanisms that allow data to be stored locally on your device beyond a single session.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects device and browser information to create a unique identifier for your device.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each category and why we use them.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functionality of our website. Without them, certain parts of our site would not work properly. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes and do not remember where you have been on the internet.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, they cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. However, you can always delete or block cookies via your browser settings (see Section 6 below).

Examples of what these cookies do:

• Keep you logged in to your account as you navigate our site
• Remember items in your online order or reservation form
• Ensure our site loads securely and correctly
• Remember your cookie consent preferences

3.2 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 understand which pages are the most and least popular, see how visitors move around the site, and identify any errors or issues. 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 site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze data about how users interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user sessions and compile statistical reports about website activity. The information generated by these cookies (including your anonymized IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made (such as your preferred language, region, or menu items you have previously viewed) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Examples of what these cookies do:

• Remember your location preference for finding the nearest Hangry Joe's location
• Remember your food preferences or dietary restrictions you have indicated
• Enable embedded features such as maps, videos, or social media feeds
• Provide live chat support functionality

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They track your visits to our website and other websites, building a profile of your interests, and may be used to show you targeted advertisements on other platforms. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

We use Google Ads and may use Facebook/Meta Pixel to serve targeted advertisements and measure campaign performance. These third-party tools use cookies to track conversions, retarget users who have previously visited our website, and provide insights about the users who interacted with our ads.

• Legitimate Interests: Where permissible under applicable law, we may use certain cookies based on our legitimate interest in improving our website and understanding our audience, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, which may include certain advertising cookie activities. You can exercise this right by using the opt-out tools described in Section 6 below or by contacting us directly at [email protected].
