Wings Snob

Cookie Policy

This policy explains how wings-snob.website uses cookies and similar technologies, what each type does, and how you can control them in your browser. It covers the pages that make up the Wings Snob cooking course site, from the course overview and heat ladder pages to recipes, questions and contact.

What cookies are

Plain explanation

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember information between page loads, such as form state or basic preferences. They do not run programs or deliver viruses, and they cannot read other files on your device.

Two details are worth knowing. First, a cookie belongs to the domain that set it, so a cookie from wings-snob.website is not readable by an unrelated site. Second, cookies carry an expiry: a session cookie is cleared when you close the browser, while a persistent cookie stays until its set date or until you remove it yourself. When we say similar technologies, we mean storage that behaves the same way for the purposes described here, such as local storage used to keep a page state while you browse.

In short: cookies help a page remember something useful for the length of your visit. They are not applications, and they cannot install anything on your device.

Cookies we use

This site may use strictly necessary cookies to keep the site functioning, and analytics cookies to measure aggregate visitor numbers and page performance. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of individual visitors.

Strictly necessary
Keeps core parts of the site working, such as remembering that you have already seen the cookie notice and holding a page state while you move between sections.
Yes, but parts of the site may stop working as expected.
Analytics
Records aggregate numbers: which pages are read and where the site is slow or confusing. Reports are reviewed in aggregate, not per person.
Yes, without affecting how you browse the site.
Advertising profiles
None set by us. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of individual visitors.
Not applicable.

Analytics

Aggregate analytics help us understand which pages visitors read and where the site is slow or confusing. Data collected this way is used in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.

In practice, that means we look at totals and trends rather than individuals. If a page about heat levels or sauces gets long visits and repeated returns, we treat it as a signal that the explanation needs more depth. If visitors leave the course overview quickly, we look at whether the page answered the first question a home cook would ask. Analytics also tells us when a page loads slowly on phones, which matters because many people read recipe pages in a kitchen while cooking.

What we look at

Total page views, returning visits, and page load times across the site.

What we do not do

We do not single out an individual reader or build a profile of one person.

Third-party cookies

If third-party services are embedded on the site, they may set their own cookies. Those cookies are governed by the respective provider's policies, and we do not control their content. We also cannot read what those providers store.

This matters mostly for two situations. A video or social embed on a recipe or course page can set cookies when the embed loads, even if you never press play. A payment or scheduling tool reached from the course pages can set its own cookies once you are on the provider's domain. In both cases the provider's own cookie policy applies, and the controls in your browser apply to them as well.

Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of the site work. Most browsers also offer a private browsing mode that limits cookie storage.

1. Open settings

In your browser, look for a privacy, security, or content settings section. Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all place cookie controls there.

2. Choose a level

Most browsers let you allow all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or block all cookies. Blocking only third-party cookies keeps the site itself working.

3. Clear stored data

To remove what is already stored, use the option to clear browsing data and include cookies. Doing this signs you out of sites you were logged into.

If you only want to limit storage for a single visit, private or incognito mode is the quicker route. Cookies set during that session are cleared when you close the window.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.

Substantive changes, such as adding a new category of cookie, will be described in the policy text rather than swapped in silently. The date of the current version is shown below so you can tell whether you have already read it.

Current version: November 2026
