Welcome to chickenchurch.click ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your experience on our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, how we use them, and your rights and choices regarding cookies.

This policy applies to all pages and services accessible through our domain chickenchurch.click and should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are also available on our website.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or this Cookie Policy, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

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. They are widely used by website owners and operators to make websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to collect information about how users interact with websites.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. When you return to a website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you as an individual, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information contained in or obtained from cookies. For more information about how we handle personal data, please review our Privacy Policy.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit chickenchurch.click, our web servers automatically send cookies to your device's browser. Here is a simplified explanation of how this process works:

  • Step 1: You navigate to our website using your web browser.
  • Step 2: Our server sends a cookie file to your browser, which stores it on your device.
  • Step 3: Each time you revisit our website or navigate between pages, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server.
  • Step 4: Our server reads the cookie and uses the information it contains to personalize your experience or analyze your behavior on our site.

Cookies can also be set by third parties, such as analytics providers and advertising networks, when their content appears on our website. These are known as "third-party cookies."

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies can be categorized based on their duration:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate through our website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on chickenchurch.click. Each category serves a different purpose and has a different impact on your experience.

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, our website cannot operate as intended, and certain services you have requested cannot be provided.

Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable law because they are strictly necessary for the delivery of our services. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.

This information allows us to improve the way our website works and to measure the effectiveness of our content. These cookies track things such as how long you spend on a page, what links you click, and what errors you encounter.

We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics tool. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our website, which is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our 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 allow us to remember choices you make — such as your preferred language or region — and provide you with a more personalized experience.

If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are placed by advertising networks with our permission and track your browsing habits across websites.
