1. About East Coast Wings

This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by East Coast Wings, accessible at eastcoast-cafe.click. Throughout this document, references to "we," "us," "our," or "East Coast Wings" refer to the company operating this 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 their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and help deliver a more personalized browsing experience.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Understanding how cookies work helps you make informed choices about which data you share when browsing our website.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

There are two main categories of cookies based on their origin:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by East Coast Wings (the website you are visiting). They are generally used for core functionality, remembering your preferences, and improving your experience on our site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services or partners — such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms — that we have integrated into our website. Third parties set and control these cookies according to their own privacy policies.

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your visit and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are typically used to maintain your session while you navigate through our website (e.g., keeping items in your cart).
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time after your visit, or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences or settings when you return to our site.

3. How We Use Cookies

East Coast Wings uses cookies for a variety of purposes, all aimed at improving your experience when you visit eastcoast-cafe.click. Specifically, we use cookies to:

  • Ensure the website loads and operates correctly (essential functionality).
  • Remember your preferences, such as language settings or menu selections.

  • Deliver relevant advertising and promotional content tailored to your interests.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

4.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

Examples of what essential cookies do on our site:

  • Maintain your session when you browse through pages.
  • Remember items you have added to an online order or cart.
  • Ensure secure areas of the website are protected.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are most frequently visited and whether users receive error messages from certain pages. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data solely to improve how our website functions.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics places several cookies on your device to track this information.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make 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 features may not function properly.

Examples include:

  • Remembering your location to display relevant restaurant information.
  • Storing your preferred language or region settings.
  • Personalizing the display of menu items based on past interactions.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing features, which rely on advertising cookies to help us understand the return on our advertising investment and show relevant ads to previous visitors of our site.
