Last Updated: April 1, 2026

Important Notice: This Cookie Policy explains how Church's Chicken uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on chicksschurch.rest. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. Introduction

Welcome to chicksschurch.rest, the official website for Church's Chicken. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience. This Cookie Policy is intended to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, you may contact us at 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 to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Church's 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 to be provided on or through the website — such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

When you visit chicksschurch.rest, cookies may be stored on your device in your web browser's storage. These cookies help us remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, items in your cart, or whether you have already accepted our cookie notice. Some cookies remain on your device after your browser session ends (persistent cookies), while others expire when you close your browser (session cookies).

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects (LSOs), and scripts to collect and store information about how you use our website.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for a variety of reasons, all aimed at providing you with a better and more personalized experience on our website. These purposes include:

Ensuring the website functions correctly and securely
Remembering your preferences and settings so you do not have to re-enter them on future visits
Understanding how visitors use our website so we can improve its content and functionality
Delivering relevant advertising that may be of interest to you
Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
Preventing fraudulent activity and enhancing security

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize our cookies into four main types, each serving a distinct purpose:

4.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic website functionality. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tool. However, you may set your browser to block them, though this will affect how the website functions.

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 users spend on each page, and any error messages they receive. This information is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify any individual visitor. We use this data to understand user behavior and to improve the performance and content of our website. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preference, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on content. The information collected by these cookies may be anonymized and 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 the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. We use Google Ads and similar platforms for targeted advertising.
