Welcome to Starbird Chicken. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website (starbird-chicken.click), what choices you have regarding their use, and how you can manage your preferences.

By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, you are free to adjust your browser settings or refrain from using our website, as described further in this document.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with applicable United States 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 stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites function correctly, work more efficiently, and provide reporting and analytical information.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you are visiting and are delivered to your browser. Your browser then stores the cookie locally and sends it back to the server on future visits to the same website. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Starbird 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 on or through the website, such as advertising, analytics, and interactive content.

How Cookies Work

When you visit starbird-chicken.click, our server may place one or more cookies on your device. Each cookie contains a small amount of data, which typically includes:

  • The name of the cookie
  • The value of the cookie (a unique identifier)
  • The domain the cookie belongs to
  • An expiration date (after which the cookie is automatically deleted)
  • Flags such as "Secure" or "HttpOnly" that control cookie behavior

Cookies can be session cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them).

3. Why We Use Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Without these cookies, the services you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these cookies to provide you with those services.

4.2 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 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.

4.4 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 directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
