Last Updated: May 30, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to East Coast Wings. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we place on your device, and how you can control or delete them.

This policy applies to the website eastcoastwings-eat.digital and all services offered through it. Please read this policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service to fully understand how we collect and process your data.

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 stored 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 functionality, and gather reporting information about how visitors use the site.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. This allows a website to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, or track your browsing behavior over time.

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 third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie is placed on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends that cookie back to our server. This allows our website to recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences and settings.

Cookies can be session cookies or persistent cookies:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate through the website.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (as specified in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

East Coast Wings uses four primary categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed description of each type:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website would not work. They allow you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website, placing online orders, and completing transactions.

Essential cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes or to remember where you have been on the internet. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions.

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, how long they spend on each page, and whether they receive error messages from certain pages. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use analytics cookies to understand our audience better, improve our website's performance, and enhance your browsing experience. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies can be used to remember your language preferences, the items in your shopping cart, or your location so we can show you relevant menu items and promotions.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising / 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 our permission.

These cookies remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. This means that after visiting our website, you may see advertisements for East Coast Wings on other websites.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to analyze how users interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit our site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our website and services.

Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.
