Last Updated: June 12, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Wings Over ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at wingsovermeal.rest and 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.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. As a food business serving customers across the United States, we use cookies to ensure our website works correctly, to improve your online experience, and to serve you relevant content and advertisements about our menu, promotions, and services.
Please read this Cookie Policy carefully. If you have any questions, you may contact us at any time using the contact details provided at the end of this document.
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, to provide reporting information, and to deliver a better browsing experience to users.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you are visiting and are delivered to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie and sends it back to the server each time you return to the website. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.
Cookies do not typically contain information that directly identifies you as an individual. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. More details about how we handle your personal information can be found in our Privacy Policy.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit wingsovermeal.rest for the first time, our server sends a small file to your browser. Your browser saves this file on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, which recognizes you and remembers your preferences or browsing history on our site.
Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary files that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period, or until you manually delete them, and are reactivated each time you visit the website that created them.
Cookies can also be classified as "first-party cookies" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, such as advertising or analytics providers).
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies and similar technologies for several reasons:
- To ensure our website works properly: Some cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Without them, parts of the site would not function correctly.
- To remember your preferences: Cookies allow us to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, so we can provide a more personalized experience.
- To analyze how you use our website: We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are most popular, and where users encounter difficulties. This helps us continuously improve our website and services.
- To deliver relevant advertising: We use advertising cookies to show you promotions and advertisements about our food offerings that are relevant to your interests, both on our website and on third-party platforms.
- To support social media features: Some cookies enable you to share our content on social media platforms and to interact with social media features embedded on our website.
4. Types of Cookies We Use

4.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies
These cookies are 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 websites.
