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 their websites work more efficiently, to provide analytical information, and to deliver a better and more personalized user experience.

Cookies are created by your web browser and stored on your device. When you revisit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the website's server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember your preferences and actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies serve a number of purposes, including:

• Allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently
• Remembering your preferences and settings
• Improving the overall user experience
• Helping us understand how visitors interact with our website
• Enabling us to deliver relevant advertisements
• Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit our website at chicken-starbird.click, a cookie consent banner may be displayed, giving you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are always active as they are necessary for the website to function properly.

Cookies can be categorized based on their lifespan:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are stored only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close your browser. They help your browsing experience flow smoothly from page to page.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them. Persistent cookies help websites recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences.

Cookies can also be categorized by their origin:

• First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by our website, chicken-starbird.click.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by third-party services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms that we use to enhance our website and marketing efforts.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

4.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, essential features of the website — such as secure logins, shopping carts, and form submissions — would not function. Because they are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools, although you can set your browser to block them (note: this may cause parts of the website to stop working).

Essential cookies perform functions including:

The information collected is aggregated and anonymous, and does not directly identify any individual. We use this data to improve the performance and usability of our website.

We use Google Analytics to gather this information. Google Analytics uses its own cookies to track visitor interactions. The data collected is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers in the United States.

They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

Examples of functionality enabled by these cookies include:

• Remembering your login status (if applicable)

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies 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 cookies to track the effectiveness of our online advertising and to retarget visitors who have shown interest in our products and services.
