Effective Date: April 17, 2026 | Last Updated: April 17, 2026

Important Notice: This Cookie Policy explains how churchzchicken.click uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. Introduction

Welcome to churchzchicken.click (the "Website"). We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use to deliver, improve, and personalize our online food services. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on our Website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This Cookie 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 using the details provided at the end of this document.

We operate in the United States and comply with applicable federal and state privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding consumer protection and fair business practices.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. These files are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies serve a number of functions and are widely used by websites to make them work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website's operators.

Cookies are not programs — they cannot execute code, deliver viruses, or carry malware. They are simply data files that help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, items in your cart, or your browsing behavior for analytical purposes.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit churchzchicken.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. The next time you visit our Website (or a partner website that uses our cookies), your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing us to recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting — these are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies are often used for advertising and analytics purposes.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
Local Storage: A mechanism similar to cookies that allows websites to store data locally in your browser beyond a single session.
Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when the browser session ends.
JavaScript Tags: Small snippets of code that collect information about your behavior on our Website.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on churchzchicken.click into four main types. Understanding these categories helps you make informed decisions about your cookie preferences.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. Without them, core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic functionality would not work. These cookies do not gather any information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, they cannot be disabled without significantly affecting how our Website functions. Examples include session cookies that keep you logged in during your visit, or cookies that remember your location preferences for finding the nearest restaurant.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve our Website's performance and user experience. We use third-party analytics services, including Google Analytics, to collect this information.

These cookies collect information such as the number of visitors to our Website, where visitors have come from, which pages they visited, how long they stayed, and any errors they encountered. This helps us identify which parts of our Website are most popular and where improvements can be made.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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 are usually placed by advertising networks with the Website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads and may use social media advertising platforms such as Facebook/Meta to display relevant advertisements to you. These platforms use cookies to track conversions and audience behavior.
