1. Introduction
Welcome to chicksschurch.click. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies, as well as the choices you have regarding their use.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect and process your personal data. Together, these documents form our commitment to protecting your privacy in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

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 enhance user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Church's Chicken) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.
Cookies are generally categorized by their duration:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain on your device only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after you close your browser, for a defined period of time, or until you manually delete them.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and scripts to collect and store information about your online activities.
3. How Cookies Work
When you visit our website chicksschurch.click, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it in a designated folder on your device. Each time you subsequently visit our website, your browser retrieves and sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit.
Cookies can store a variety of information, including your preferences, login status, items in a shopping cart, and browsing behavior. This information helps us provide you with a more personalized and efficient experience on our website.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or to track your browsing activity on other websites.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for website operation, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, though this will affect website functionality.
4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website.
