Last Updated: July 5, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to East Coast Wings. This Cookie Policy explains how East Coast Wings ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at eastcoastcafe.rest. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and to giving you meaningful control over your data in accordance with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing unfair or deceptive practices.
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 efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, East Coast Wings) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by third parties, 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 when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you first visit our website, your browser sends a request to our web server. The server responds by sending back the requested web page along with one or more cookies. Your browser stores these cookies on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends those cookies back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or previous actions.
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Some cookies expire when you close your browser window (known as "session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them (known as "persistent cookies").
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user behavior and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
- Local Storage: A mechanism that allows websites to store data locally within the user's browser, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but the data is only retained for the duration of a browser session.
- Fingerprinting: A technique used to identify a device based on its configuration and characteristics.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose in helping us deliver a better online experience to our visitors.
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, our website would not function properly, and certain services you have requested cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent. However, you can disable them through your browser settings (see Section 5), though this may affect how the website functions.
Essential cookies help you navigate our website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site, adding items to your online order, and maintaining your session while you are logged in.
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 how visitors navigate the site. 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 site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They perform functions like preventing the same advertisement from continuously appearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases, selecting advertisements based on your interests. These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies at any time, please be aware that doing so may have a significant impact on your experience on our website. The effects vary depending on which type of cookie you disable:
6.1 Disabling Essential Cookies
6.2 Disabling Analytics Cookies
If you choose to disable analytics cookies, we will not be able to monitor website performance or understand how visitors use our site. This means we will be less able to identify and fix issues, improve website features, or optimize our content based on user behavior. Your browsing experience on our site will generally remain unchanged.
6.3 Disabling Functional Cookies
Disabling functional cookies may affect the personalization and convenience features of our website. You may find that your preferences, such as your saved location or language settings, are not retained between visits, and you may need to re-enter certain information each time you visit our website.
6.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies
Disabling advertising and targeting cookies means that you will continue to see advertisements online, but they will be less relevant to your interests and browsing habits. It does not mean you will receive fewer advertisements overall. Our advertising partners will not be able to accurately measure the performance of their campaigns directed toward our website visitors.
7. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Some browsers include 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. As such, our website does not currently alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT browser signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices if and when a standard is established.
