Cookie Policy

Effective Date: April 10, 2026  |  Last Updated: April 10, 2026

1. Who We Are

This Cookie Policy applies to the website chickenchurchz.digital (the "Website"), operated in connection with our food service business. If you have any questions about how we use cookies, you can contact us at:

  • Email: [email protected]
  • Website: chickenchurchz.digital
  • Country of Operation: United States

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored by your web browser and contain small amounts of data that help the website recognize your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information about your preferences or activity.

Cookies were originally designed to help websites remember things about users across different pages or visits. Today, they serve a wide range of functions: from keeping you logged in, to helping website owners understand how visitors navigate their site, to delivering personalized advertisements.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They cannot access other files on your device, and they do not collect more information than what your browser is willing to share. However, they do play an important role in how websites function and how your online experience is shaped.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit chickenchurchz.digital, our server (or a third-party server) sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser saves this cookie on your device's storage. The next time you visit our Website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to the server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your settings or activity.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that run content on that page, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (third-party cookies). Both types may be used on our Website.

2.2 Similar Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that signal when a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A way for websites to store data on your browser that persists beyond a single session and is not automatically sent to the server with every request.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is only kept for the duration of a single browsing session.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that run in your browser and may collect information about your device or behavior on our site.

All references to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on chickenchurchz.digital into four main types, based on their purpose:

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our Website. Without them, certain features — such as navigating between pages, filling out forms, or processing orders — would not work properly. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you may still block them via your browser settings, though this may affect how the Website functions.

Essential cookies do not collect any personal information that could be used for marketing purposes. They are typically session-based and deleted once you close your browser.

3.2 Analytical / Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, and whether any error messages were encountered. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify you personally.

We use this data to improve the performance and content of our Website. For example, if analytics data shows that a particular menu page has a high exit rate, we may investigate and redesign that page to provide a better user experience.

We use Google Analytics to collect and process this type of data.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred language, your location (for displaying relevant restaurant locations), or items you have added to a cart.

The information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized, but they can also be used to track your browsing on other websites. If you disable these cookies, some features of the Website may not function as intended.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful to you. They track your browsing habits across our Website and potentially across other websites in order to build a profile of your interests and serve you targeted ads.

These cookies are typically placed by third-party advertising networks, such as Google Ads and Facebook (Meta), with our permission. They do not store personally identifiable information directly, but they do use unique identifiers to recognize your device across different sessions and websites.

You can opt out of interest-based advertising at any time (see Section 6 of this policy).

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable cookies at any time, doing so may affect your experience on our Website. Below is a summary of what may happen if you disable each category of cookies:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Core website functionality will be impaired. You may not be able to complete online orders, log into your account, or navigate certain pages correctly. We strongly recommend leaving these enabled.
Analytical Cookies We will be unable to collect data on how you use our Website, meaning we may not be able to identify and fix performance issues or improve the user experience as effectively. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected.
Functional Cookies Your preferences (such as your nearest restaurant location or cart items) may not be remembered between visits. You may need to re-enter information each time you visit the Website.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be generic and less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies will not reduce the total number of ads you see — only their relevance to you.

7. Cookies and California Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, you have additional rights regarding the personal information collected through cookies under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Specifically, you have the right to:
