This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and how we handle any personal information collected.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable certain features.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie, and the next time you visit the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server so the site can recognize you and remember your preferences.

Cookies do not typically contain any personally identifiable information on their own. However, the personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not harmful to your device and do not contain viruses or malware.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit eastcoastcafe.click, our web server sends one or more cookies to your browser. Your browser then stores these cookies in a designated directory on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends these stored cookies back to our server.

Cookies can be classified based on several criteria:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your session as you navigate through our website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and recognize you on future visits.
  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by East Coast Wings when you visit our website.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services and partners, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks, when you visit our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

East Coast Wings uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Below, we describe each category and explain why we use them.

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

Essential cookies help make our website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and shopping cart functionality. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie management tool. However, you can always block or delete them by changing your browser settings.

Examples of what these cookies do for East Coast Wings visitors:

  • Keep you logged in during your visit
  • Remember items in your food order or cart
  • Ensure the website loads pages correctly and securely
  • Prevent fraudulent use of our services

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. These cookies help us understand which pages are visited most often, how users navigate our site, whether users encounter any errors, and how long visitors spend on each page.

The insights we gather through analytics cookies help us continuously improve the performance and content of eastcoastcafe.click, ensuring our visitors have the best possible experience when browsing our menu, placing orders, or finding our location.

We primarily use Google Analytics to collect this data. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for more information on how Google uses this data.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make when you visit, such as your preferred language, your region, or any customizations you apply to your browsing experience. These cookies provide enhanced, more personalized features.

For example, functional cookies on the East Coast Wings website may:

  • Remember your delivery address preferences
  • Remember your preferred menu categories
  • Store your previous order preferences for faster reordering
  • Remember whether you have agreed to certain notices

Disabling functional cookies may mean that certain personalized features of our website will not be available to you, though the core functionality of the site will remain intact.

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies (also known as targeting or marketing 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 and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks such as Google Ads and social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. They track your visits to our website and other websites across the internet, building a profile of your interests so that relevant advertising can be shown to you.

East Coast Wings uses these cookies to promote our food offerings, specials, and events to audiences who may be interested in our services, including lookalike audiences on social media platforms.
