Welcome to Starbird Chicken's Cookie Policy. At Starbird Chicken, we are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, why we use them, and what choices you have regarding their use.

This policy applies to all pages, features, and services available through our website at starbirdpizzacafe.click. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and describe how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

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, provide a better user experience, and generate analytical reports.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and delivered to your browser. Your browser stores them and sends them back to the server the next time you visit that same website. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart.

Cookies cannot run programs, deliver viruses to your computer, or access information on your hard drive. They are not harmful. However, they do store information about your browsing behavior, which is why it is important for us to be transparent about how we use them.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be classified based on who sets them:

First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Starbird Chicken (i.e., by our website starbirdpizzacafe.click). They are used to provide core functionality and improve your experience on our site.
Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services or partners whose features are embedded on our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across different websites.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browser session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time or until you manually delete them. They allow the website to recognize you on your next visit.
