Welcome to Starbird Chicken. 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, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

Our website, chickenstarbird.click, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, personalize content, and serve relevant advertisements. We want you to understand exactly what data is being collected and why, so you can make informed decisions about your privacy.

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 efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server and stored in your browser. Each time you visit the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences, login status, or items in a shopping cart.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by third parties to be present on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit our website, your browser receives a cookie from our server (or from a third-party server). This cookie contains a unique identifier that allows the website to recognize your browser on subsequent visits. Cookies can store a variety of information, including:

• Your preferred language and regional settings
• Whether you have visited the website before
• Pages you have viewed and links you have clicked
• Items you have added to a cart or wish list
• Login and authentication status
• Advertising identifiers for targeted marketing

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies to track your activity on our website:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed specific actions.
• Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally in your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about how you interact with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several different types of cookies on our website, each serving a specific purpose. Below is a detailed explanation of each category:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as online ordering — cannot be provided.

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will then not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

3.2 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. They help us understand 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 website and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable 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. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. Functional cookies may include cookies that remember your location, preferred language, or other regional settings.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

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 sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
