Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 4, 2026  |  Effective Date: June 4, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Hangry Joe's ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website cafe-hangryjoes.rest, what types of cookies we place, and how you can control and manage your cookie preferences.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, use, and protect information about you when you visit our website or interact with our services.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other tracking technologies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

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, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized experiences.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Hangry Joe's) 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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit cafe-hangryjoes.rest for the first time, our server sends a small text file to your browser. Your browser stores this file and sends it back to our server each time you make a subsequent request. This allows the website to recognize you, remember your preferences, and provide a more personalized and efficient experience.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information by themselves. However, the personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies can be stored for varying lengths of time on your device, depending on their type.

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your activities during a single browsing session, such as items in your online order or your login status.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, until they expire or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on cafe-hangryjoes.rest:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart, or make use of e-billing services. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not function properly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website to you, they cannot be disabled without affecting how the site functions.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works — for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to gather data about how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information. This data is processed in a way that does not directly identify individuals.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. 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, then some or all of these services may not function properly. Examples include remembering your location, language preferences, or items in a saved order.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing cookies to understand how users who clicked on our advertisements interact with our website, and to show Hangry Joe's ads to users who have previously visited our website.

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential / Strictly Necessary The website may not function properly. Online ordering, login, and checkout features may be unavailable or unreliable. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
Analytics and Performance We will not be able to understand how you use our website or identify areas for improvement. This does not affect your experience directly but reduces our ability to optimize our services.
Functional Your preferences (such as saved menu items, location, or dietary settings) will not be remembered between visits. You may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit our website.
Advertising and Targeting You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not mean you will see fewer ads, just less personalized ones.

8. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the cookie management tools described in Section 6 to control tracking on our website.

9. California Privacy Rights
