This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to the use of cookies as described herein, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our website.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies can be stored for different durations:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. They allow the website to remember your actions during a single browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, for a period of time defined by the cookie. They are used to remember your preferences and actions across multiple visits.

Cookies typically store the following types of information: your device and browser type, IP address, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visits, your language preferences, and other behavioral data that helps us understand how you interact with our website.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been opened.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data on your device without an expiration date, similar to persistent cookies but with greater storage capacity.
• JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in web pages that collect data about your browsing behavior.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

Starbird Chicken uses cookies and similar technologies for a variety of purposes, including:

• Ensuring our website functions properly and securely
• Remembering your preferences and settings between visits
• Analyzing how visitors use our website to improve our services and user experience
• Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
• Delivering personalized content and advertisements relevant to your interests
• Enabling social media features and integrations
• Preventing fraud and enhancing website security
• Facilitating online ordering and menu browsing features

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types as described below:

4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Without them, core functions such as page navigation, secure area access, and online ordering cannot work properly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver our services to you, you cannot opt out of them through our cookie settings. However, you can disable them through your browser settings, though this may impact the functionality of our website.

Essential cookies on our website are used to:

• Maintain your session while you browse our website
• Remember items you have added to your order or cart
• Ensure secure access to password-protected areas
• Support load balancing to ensure website stability
• Prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors receive any error messages. The data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve the performance and user experience of our website.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose, which collects data such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your location to show you the nearest Starbird Chicken restaurant, or remember your language and region preferences. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers. These are often linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.

We use Google Ads and may use other third-party advertising platforms to serve targeted advertisements to users who have previously visited our website.

10. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, our website does not respond to DNT signals because there is no consistent industry standard for how to interpret such signals.

We will continue to monitor developments in DNT standards and update our practices accordingly if a universally accepted standard is established.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

Your continued use of our website after any changes to this Cookie Policy will constitute your acceptance of such changes. If you do not agree to the updated Cookie Policy, you should adjust your browser settings to disable cookies or discontinue using our website.
