Last Updated: April 29, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to wings-over.digital (the "Website"), operated by Wings Over ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand how and why we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, place an order, or interact with our digital content.

By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. You may manage your cookie preferences at any time using the methods described in this document. This 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 at [email protected].

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 websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts a website and sent to your browser. Your browser stores each cookie as a small text file. When you return to that website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies generally do not contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This linkage helps us deliver a more personalized and seamless experience when you interact with our website and services.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be either first-party or third-party cookies:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Wings Over (the website you are visiting). They are used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. They are typically used by third-party service providers such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms to gather data for advertising and analytics purposes.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browsing session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. They allow our website to remember you on subsequent visits.

2.3 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and measure campaign effectiveness.
  • Local Storage: A feature of HTML5 that allows data to be stored locally within your browser without an expiration date.
  • Fingerprinting: Techniques that collect information about your browser and device settings to create a unique identifier.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on wings-over.digital into four main types:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain services you have requested — such as completing an order or logging into an account — cannot be provided. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable US law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), because they are essential to providing the service you have requested.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users receive error messages. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized — they do not identify individual users. We use this information to improve the performance and usability of our website. Common analytics tools include Google Analytics.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made (such as your preferred language, your location, or items you have placed in a shopping cart) and to provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and 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 to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. This includes cookies set by Google Ads and similar platforms.
