1. Introduction

Welcome to East Coast Wings. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website, cafe-eastcoast.click. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or disable them.

This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access our website. We encourage you to read this document carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service to fully understand how we collect, use, and protect your information.

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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experiences, and provide reporting information to website owners.

When you visit cafe-eastcoast.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but in some cases, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in cookies. Cookies are not viruses or malicious programs — they are simple data files used to improve your browsing experience.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by East Coast Wings (cafe-eastcoast.click) and can only be read by our website. They are used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our site.

Third-party cookies are set by external services or partners whose features are embedded on our website — for example, Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms like Facebook. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites.

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate our website — for example, keeping items in your cart or keeping you logged in during a visit.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time (or until you manually delete them). They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. Why We Use Cookies

East Coast Wings uses cookies for a variety of purposes, all aimed at improving the functionality of our website and providing you with a better online experience. Specifically, we use cookies to:

  • Ensure our website functions correctly and securely
  • Remember your preferences and settings (such as language and location)
  • Analyze how visitors use our website so we can improve our content and services
  • Understand which pages and menu items are most popular
  • Deliver relevant advertising and promotional content
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • Facilitate social media sharing features
  • Protect against fraudulent activity and unauthorized access

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies used on cafe-eastcoast.click into four main categories:

4.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of the site will not function properly. They do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be switched off in our systems. These cookies are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve the structure, content, and functionality of our website. For example, we use Google Analytics to track page views, session duration, bounce rates, and user journeys across our site. This information is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location, language settings, or whether you have visited before) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners (such as Google Ads). 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 device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, but you may still see ads that are not tailored to your interests.

Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests and browsing history. Our ability to measure advertising effectiveness will be reduced.
