Cookie Policy
Last Updated: June 14, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how Hangry Joe's uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at fresh-hangryjoes.digital. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and giving you meaningful control over your data. This Cookie Policy describes what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described below, though this may affect your ability to use certain features of our website.
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 more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to gather information about how visitors use their sites.
Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes those cookies. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and preferences.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit fresh-hangryjoes.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie in a small file. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends that cookie back to our server, which allows us to recognize your device and remember your preferences, login status, or browsing history on our site.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are integrated into the website (known as "third-party cookies"). Third-party cookies allow third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.
2.2 Other Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and page visits.
- Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally on your device without expiration dates.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
- Scripts and SDKs: Code embedded in our website that collects information about your interactions with the site.
Throughout this policy, references to "cookies" include all of these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on fresh-hangryjoes.digital. Each category serves a distinct purpose and has a different impact on your experience.
3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account authentication. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly, and services you have requested — such as placing a food order or accessing your account — cannot be provided.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they cannot be switched off. They do not require your consent under applicable law. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages visitors go to most often and whether they receive error messages from certain pages. This data helps us understand how our website is being used, identify areas for improvement, and measure the effectiveness of our content and promotions.
All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. These cookies will only be set with your consent.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies can remember your location to show you relevant restaurant locations, save your food preferences, or remember items you have added to your cart.
The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. These cookies will only be set with your consent.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These 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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.
These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization. These cookies will only be set with your consent.
