Last Updated: April 28, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Hangry Joe's. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, how we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences when you visit hangry-joes.rest.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we process personal data collected through our website.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

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 websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Hangry Joe's) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the server the cookie was sent from
  • The lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device)
  • A value — usually a randomly generated unique number

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, your browser downloads a cookie from our server (or from a third-party server). The next time you visit our website, your browser sends that cookie back to the server. This allows the server to identify you as a returning visitor and to remember your preferences, login status, or shopping cart contents, among other things.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. For more information on how we handle your personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Hangry Joe's uses the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website may not work as intended if you do. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

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, and see how visitors move around the website. 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 website and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These 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 website. These cookies remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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 sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools described in Section 5 to limit tracking.

We will continue to monitor developments regarding DNT and may update this policy as standards evolve.

We encourage you to read the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party websites or services.
