1. Introduction

Welcome to Dave's Hot Chicken's Cookie Policy. At Dave's Hot Chicken, accessible at newdaveshotchicken.click, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and explains in detail what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who interact with our website. We encourage you to read this policy carefully so you can make informed decisions about your privacy when visiting our site.

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. These files are stored in your web browser and allow the website — or third parties — to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and gather reporting information about how visitors interact with the site.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit newdaveshotchicken.click, our web server sends a small cookie file to your browser. Your browser then stores this file on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third-party services that provide functionality on the website, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (known as third-party cookies).

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been viewed.
• Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to store data on your device beyond the session.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device configuration to create a unique identifier.

We use several categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages are visited most often, how visitors move around the site, and whether visitors encounter any errors.

We primarily use Google Analytics to collect this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to compile reports and help us understand website activity.

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make when you visit, such as your language preference, your location, your username, and other customization options. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personalized experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you visit our website.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
