Cookie Policy
This document explains how wings-snob.site uses cookies and similar storage technologies, what they are used for, and how you can control them. It applies to visitors of this website. It does not cover the practices of third-party websites linked from our pages.
Below you will find what cookies are, the kinds this site relies on, how they support the Wings Snob course pages, how third-party tools fit in, and the steps you can take in your own browser to limit or clear them.
What this page covers
- What cookies and similar storage are, in plain language.
- The categories of cookies this site uses and the reason for each.
- How third-party services set their own cookies on embedded content.
- Where to manage or delete cookies in your browser, and what may change if you block them.
If you would like this page changed or have a question about a specific cookie, the contact page is the right route. We read those messages during business hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They allow the site to remember information between page loads, such as preferences or session state. Some cookies are set by us directly, and some may be set by services we use to operate the site.
A cookie is not a program and does not run on its own. It is a short piece of data that a browser sends back to the site that created it, usually on the next visit or the next page. Two cookies with the same name from different websites stay separate, which is why a cookie set by wings-snob.site cannot be read by another site you open in a different tab.
Similar technologies, such as local storage in your browser, work in a comparable way: they keep a small amount of data on your device so the site can function or remember a choice. When this policy says cookies, it covers those similar storage methods too, because the reasons we use them are the same.
Cookies can be set for a single browsing session and expire when you close the browser, or they can stay on your device for a set period so the site recognises you on a later visit. Some are set by the site you are on, and some are set by a service the site calls in to help it work, such as a provider that counts page visits in aggregate.
Cookies we use
We use cookies that are necessary for the website to function, such as remembering form state and basic session information. We may also use cookies to understand how the site is used, so we can fix problems and improve page content. We do not use cookies to make automated decisions about you.
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working: they hold a form in place while you type, protect a session from being confused with another visitor's, and remember a basic setting between pages. The site cannot deliver a working contact or enrolment flow without them.
Analytics
Where used, these help us see which pages visitors reach and where they leave, in aggregate. The result tells us whether a course or recipe page is doing its job, and it is not used to identify individual visitors or to profile them.
Not used for
We do not use cookies to make automated decisions about you, and we do not sell cookie data. Nothing on this site uses a cookie to decide what price you see, whether you can enrol, or how a page responds to you as an individual.
Why we use them
Necessary cookies support core functions, including form submission and site security. Analytics cookies, where used, help us see which pages visitors reach and where they leave, in aggregate. This information is used to maintain and improve the website, not to identify individual visitors.
In practice, that means a cookie might remember that you had already started typing into a course enquiry, or that your browser should keep a secure session open while you move between pages. On the analytics side, the count of visits to a page like Recipes & Techniques tells us whether the content answers the question a visitor arrived with.
| Category | What it supports | Can you block it |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Form state, session handling, security checks that keep a page request tied to the right visitor. | Yes, in your browser, but parts of the site may then stop working, including forms. |
| Analytics | Aggregate counts of pages visited and where visitors leave, so we can fix weak pages and keep the useful ones current. | Yes. Blocking them does not stop the site from loading; we simply receive less information about how it is used. |
| Third-party | Set by a service behind embedded content, for its own purposes, under that provider's own policy. | Yes, through your browser or the provider's own controls. We do not control those cookies. |
This table lists the reasons cookies appear on the site. It does not list every provider name, because the services behind embedded content can change; when they do, the categories above still describe what the cookie is for.
Third-party cookies
Some functionality may rely on third-party services that set their own cookies. Those providers have their own policies, and we do not control the cookies they set. Where third-party content is embedded, its cookie behavior is governed by that provider's terms.
A typical case is a video or a map embedded on a page. When the embed loads, the provider may place a cookie on your device to remember playback settings, limit how often the same content is requested, or measure whether the embed was viewed. That cookie belongs to the provider, and its lifetime and purpose are set out in that provider's own policy, which we cannot change from here.
If you would rather no third-party cookie were set at all, your browser settings and any controls the provider offers are the places to act. Blocking an embed's cookie does not remove the rest of the page: the text, the course details, and the forms hosted on wings-snob.site keep working as they normally do.
Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely or clear existing ones. Blocking necessary cookies may affect how parts of this site work, including forms. Instructions for cookie management are available in your browser's help section.
Clearing cookies you already have
Open your browser's settings, find the section that lists cookies and site data, and clear the entries for wings-snob.site. Clearing removes stored preferences and any saved form progress, so the next visit starts fresh. This does not affect your enrolment or any message you have already sent us.
Blocking cookies in advance
The same settings area usually lets you block cookies from all sites or only from the ones you choose. Blocking everything is a valid choice, but forms that depend on a session may not complete, and a page may forget a preference you set a moment earlier.
Private browsing windows
A private or incognito window keeps cookies only for as long as the window is open. When you close it, the cookie data goes with it. That is a quick way to browse without leaving stored data behind, though it does not stop a provider from setting a cookie during the visit.
What changes if you block them
Course pages, recipe notes, and course details remain readable. What may change is the small conveniences: a form might not hold its place if you navigate away, and a repeated visit may not remember a setting. If a page behaves oddly after you change cookie settings, the browser's help section is the first place to look.
Nothing on this site requires you to accept cookies before reading. Blocking them is a normal choice and does not lock you out of the course information.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy if our use of cookies changes. The current version is always posted on this page. Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact page on this website.
When a change is made, the wording on this page is replaced rather than kept in an archive, so the version you are reading is the one in force. If a change affects how forms behave, that change is described here before it goes live. If you have a question about a cookie you noticed, tell us the page you were on and what you were doing at the time; that is usually enough for us to trace the cookie and explain it.
For privacy questions that are not about cookies, the privacy policy covers how we handle personal information. For terms of use of the site and the course materials, the terms of service page is the right place to look.
