Last Updated: July 24, 2026 | Effective Date: July 24, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). This Cookie Policy explains how Hangry Joe's uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at myhangryjoes.click (the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what choices you have regarding their use, and the impact of disabling them.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our Website and services. By accessing or using our Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the practices described in this Cookie Policy.
We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it. If you have questions about our use of cookies, 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 internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to give website owners useful information about how their sites are being used.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts a website and sent to your browser (such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge). Your browser stores the cookie on your device in a dedicated file. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies can be either session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a defined period of time or until you delete them).
2.1 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our Website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent 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 form of web storage that allows websites to store data locally within the user's browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- JavaScript Tags: Snippets of code embedded in our Website that collect data about user behavior and interactions.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's settings and configurations to create a unique identifier.
Throughout this Cookie Policy, when we refer to "cookies," we are also referring to these similar tracking technologies.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on the Hangry Joe's website. Each category serves a different purpose and can be managed differently.
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our Website. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the Website cannot function properly, and services you have requested (such as browsing our menu or placing an order) cannot be provided.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the services you request, they cannot be disabled through our cookie preference settings. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but please be aware that doing so will cause some parts of the Website to stop working.
Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are never used for marketing purposes.
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 most and least popular, how visitors navigate through our site, and where users encounter errors. 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 Website, and we will not be able to monitor its performance. We use Google Analytics to collect this information.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location, language preferences, or menu favorites) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on the Website may be less personalized.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are set through our Website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and social media platforms like Facebook. 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 internet device.
If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. These cookies do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
