Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 19, 2026  |  Effective Date: March 19, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to chickchurchs.top (the "Website"). 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 preferences regarding cookies when using our Website.

This policy applies to all users of our Website located in the United States and is designed to be consistent with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on online tracking and consumer transparency.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other technologies, please contact us at [email protected] or visit our Website at chickchurchs.top.

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, to provide a better user experience, and to deliver information to the website owner.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit — such as your preferences, login status, or items in a shopping cart.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be combined with other information that we hold about you. Cookies cannot execute programs, deliver viruses, or access your hard drive.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit chickchurchs.top, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser automatically sends the stored cookie back to our server. This process allows us to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide a more personalized and efficient browsing experience.

Cookies have a defined lifespan — some expire when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a set period of time (persistent cookies) unless you delete them manually or through your browser settings.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies to collect information about your use of our Website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond what cookies can store.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that exists only for the duration of your browsing session.
  • Fingerprinting: Techniques that collect and combine various data points about your device and browser configuration to create a unique identifier.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all references to "cookies" include these similar tracking technologies unless otherwise stated.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types, as described below:

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our Website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure login, and access to restricted areas of the Website. Without these cookies, services that you have requested — such as submitting a contact form or completing an order — cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you can block or delete them by changing your browser settings (see Section 6 below), but this may affect the functionality of the Website.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to collect information about how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages they visit most often, how long they spend on each page, and whether they encounter any error messages. This data helps us improve the performance and usability of our Website.

The information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual users. We use services like Google Analytics for this purpose.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our Website to provide enhanced features and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our pages. Examples include remembering your language preference, your location, or your previously viewed menu items.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

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 our advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.

These cookies remember that you have visited our Website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers. We use services like Google Ads and Facebook Pixel for this purpose. Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents may opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information for targeted advertising (see Section 7 below).
