Last Updated: April 7, 2026

Important Notice: This Cookie Policy explains how chickenchurch.rest 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 chickenchurch.rest (the "Website"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy applies to all users of the Website located in the United States and is subject to applicable U.S. federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act for general consumer protection.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our Website. Cookies and similar technologies help us deliver a better and more personalized experience for our visitors, understand how our Website is used, and provide relevant advertising. We encourage you to read this Cookie Policy carefully to understand our practices.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners and operators to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide analytical and advertising information.

When you visit our Website, our servers may send a cookie to your device. Your browser then stores the cookie and sends it back to the server each time you make a subsequent request to the same server. This allows the Website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, language settings, or the contents of a shopping cart.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting — these are called first-party cookies. Cookies can also be set by other companies whose services are integrated into a website — these are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies are typically used for advertising, analytics, and social media features.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:

Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small 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 way to store data locally on your browser that persists even after the browser is closed.
Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is only stored for the duration of the browser session.
JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about your interactions with the Website.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

To ensure the proper functioning of our Website and provide essential features.
To remember your preferences and settings so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit.
To analyze how visitors use our Website and help us improve its performance and content.
To deliver relevant and personalized advertising to you, both on our Website and on third-party platforms.
To enable social media features and integrations.
To detect and prevent fraudulent activity and ensure the security of our Website.
To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types:

4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. Without them, certain parts of the Website would not function properly. They typically include session management cookies, authentication cookies, and security cookies. Because they are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled through our cookie consent tool without impacting the Website's functionality.

Examples of what strictly necessary cookies do:

Allow you to navigate between pages without losing your session information.
Remember items you have added to a cart or form data you have entered.
Authenticate your login on secure parts of the Website.
Maintain security settings and detect malicious activity.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors encounter any errors. This data helps us understand and improve the performance of our Website. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect and analyze this information. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data about your visits to our Website and reports on website activity to help us understand how users interact with it. For more information about how Google Analytics uses data, visit Google's Privacy Policy.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or using a live chat function. The information collected by these cookies may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.4 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 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 is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use advertising services from Google (including Google Ads) and may use services from Facebook/Meta and other advertising partners. These third-party services use cookies to track your online activity and help us show you relevant ads across the web.

6.3 Opt-Out Tools for Specific Third-Party Services

You can opt out of specific third-party cookies and advertising tracking using the following tools:

Google Analytics Opt-Out

To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity.

Google Ads / Personalized Advertising Opt-Out

You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also use the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out Tool to opt out of interest-based advertising from Google and other NAI member companies.

6.4 Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. While we respect user privacy preferences, our Website may not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We will update this policy if an industry standard for DNT is adopted.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable some or all cookies on our Website, please be aware that doing so may have a significant impact on your experience. The following outlines the potential effects:

Strictly Necessary Cookies	Critical Website functions may stop working, including the ability to maintain your session, log in, fill out forms, or complete online orders. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
Analytics Cookies	We will be unable to collect data about how you use our Website, which limits our ability to identify issues and improve the Website experience for all users. Your individual user experience will not be affected.
Functional Cookies	Your preferences (such as language, location, or saved items) will not be remembered, meaning you may need to re-enter settings on each visit. Some enhanced features may become unavailable.
Advertising Cookies	You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly, and ad performance measurement will be impacted.
