This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our Website and services. This Cookie Policy is designed to comply with applicable United States laws and regulations, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable.

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 operators to make websites work efficiently, improve user experiences, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party organizations whose content or tools appear on the website you are visiting (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred language and other settings.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit churchzchicken.rest, our server sends a small file (the cookie) to your device. Your browser stores this file. Each time you make a request to the server, your browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows us to identify your device and personalize your experience on our website.

Cookies can be classified by their lifespan:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to track your movements from page to page during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (as specified in the cookie) or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences and recognize you when you return to our website.

2.2 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and session storage. These technologies function similarly to cookies and may be used in combination with cookies to collect and store information about how you use our Website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our Website:

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, certain services you have requested cannot be provided.

3.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. These cookies remember choices you make (such as your language preference or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. If you disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

These cookies may be set through our Website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked.
