Cookie Policy
Last Updated: July 5, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Hangry Joe's. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website, cafe-hangryjoes.top. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This policy applies to all visitors and users of our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing unfair or deceptive practices.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our data practices, you can reach us using the contact details provided at the end of this document.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information to site owners.
Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, settings, items in a shopping cart, or login status.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit cafe-hangryjoes.top, our web server sends a cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this file on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, which reads the information contained within it. This process allows us to recognize you, remember your preferences, and deliver a more personalized experience.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website, such as advertising networks or analytics platforms (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types may be used on cafe-hangryjoes.top.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and email open rates.
- Local Storage: Data stored locally on your browser that persists beyond individual sessions.
- Session Storage: Temporary data stored for the duration of a single browsing session.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that enable third-party services to function on our pages.
References to "cookies" throughout this policy include all such similar tracking technologies unless otherwise specified.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Hangry Joe's uses several categories of cookies. Below is a detailed explanation of each type and why we use them.
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. Without them, certain features of our site — such as navigation, secure areas, or online ordering — would not work. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or to remember where you have been on the internet.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver our services, they cannot be disabled. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about them, though this may cause parts of the site to stop working correctly.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect anonymous, aggregated information about how many people visit our site, which pages they visit, how long they stay, and whether they encounter any errors. This information helps us improve the performance and usability of our website.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to analyze usage of cafe-hangryjoes.top. Google Analytics places several cookies on your device to measure user behavior. Information collected is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location, language, or region) and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website. If you disable these cookies, some functionality may become unavailable.
3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising 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 to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission and may track your browsing across different websites.
We use Google Ads conversion tracking and may use remarketing tags to show you targeted advertisements after you have visited cafe-hangryjoes.top. We may also use social media advertising platforms such as Facebook/Meta Pixel to reach relevant audiences.

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding the collection and use of your personal data through cookies:

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to have your online activity tracked.
