Last Updated: May 13, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to the website hangryjoes-food.click and all related pages, services, and features offered through this domain. By visiting or using our website, you acknowledge and agree to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy.
We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and protect your personal information.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].
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 their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and collect analytical information about how visitors interact with web pages.
Cookies contain a small amount of information that is sent to your web browser by a website's server. Your browser stores the cookie, and the next time you visit that website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies are not programs or applications — they cannot carry viruses, install malware, or access files on your computer. They are simply small data files designed to help websites function better and deliver more personalized experiences.
2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
Cookies can be categorized based on who places them on your device:
- First-party cookies are set directly by Hangry Joe's (i.e., the website you are visiting). These cookies are used to remember your preferences and enable core website functionality.
- Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. These are typically placed by third-party service providers such as analytics platforms, advertising networks, and social media companies. Third parties may use these cookies to track your browsing activity across multiple websites.
2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the website.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to 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 transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page was accessed or an email was opened.
- Local storage: A web technology that allows websites to store data in your browser beyond what cookies can store, without an expiration date.
- JavaScript tags: Small pieces of code that allow third-party services to collect data about your activity on our website.
- Device fingerprinting: A method of identifying a device based on its unique configuration, including browser type, screen resolution, and installed plugins.
3. How We Use Cookies
Hangry Joe's uses cookies and similar technologies for a variety of purposes, including:
- Enabling essential website functionality, such as navigating between pages and completing online orders
- Remembering your preferences, such as language settings or items in your cart
- Analyzing how visitors use our website so we can improve our content and services
- Delivering targeted advertising to users who have previously visited our website
- Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- Preventing fraudulent activity and ensuring the security of our website

4. Types of Cookies We Use
We classify the cookies used on hangryjoes-food.click into four main categories:
4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Without them, certain features — such as online ordering, account login, and checkout — would not function properly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the services you have requested, they cannot be disabled without significantly affecting your use of the website. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not track your activity for marketing purposes.
4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users encounter any error messages. This data helps us understand how our website is performing and where we can make improvements. The information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify any individual visitor. We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics provider.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past, such as your preferred location, saved menu items, or accessibility settings. These cookies enhance your experience by providing a more personalized service. The information collected by functional cookies does not identify you personally and cannot be used to track your activity on other websites.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites. Advertising cookies are typically placed by third-party advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to limit the number of times you see an advertisement.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to disable cookies at any time, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on our website. The following outlines the potential impact of disabling different categories of cookies:
| Cookie Type | Impact of Disabling |
|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Core functionality will be severely impaired or entirely unavailable. You may not be able to add items to your cart, complete an online order, log in to your account, or submit forms. We strongly recommend keeping essential cookies enabled. |

9. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our website does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT browser signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices if a standard is established.
However, California residents may exercise their right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA, regardless of DNT settings, by contacting us directly at [email protected].
