1. Introduction

Welcome to Dave's Hot Chicken (referred to as "we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at daveshotnow.click. This policy is intended to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what choices you have regarding their use, and how they affect your experience on our site.

We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional details about how we handle personal information collected through our website.

By accessing or using daveshotnow.click, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the methods described below. Please note, however, that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

This Cookie Policy complies with applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), where applicable.

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 their websites function properly, work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Dave's Hot 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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit our website for the first time, your browser receives a cookie from our server or from a third-party server. The cookie is stored on your device and contains a unique identifier that allows our website to recognize your browser the next time you visit. Cookies may also store your preferences, login status, and other data to enhance your experience.

Cookies communicate with our servers each time you make a request to our website, sending information back to us or to third-party services. This communication happens automatically and does not require any action on your part.

2.2 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user activity and measure campaign effectiveness.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when you close your browser session.
• JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about how you interact with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on daveshotnow.click:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

Essential cookies do not require your consent under most privacy regulations, as they are strictly necessary to deliver the online service you requested. However, you still have the right to block them through your browser settings, though this may prevent our website from functioning properly.

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. We use Google Ads and similar platforms that may set advertising cookies when you visit our site.

5. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time, depending on their purpose:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies are typically used for essential website functions.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after your browser is closed, until they reach their specified expiration date or are manually deleted. Persistent cookies are used for analytics, advertising, and functional purposes to remember your preferences and behavior over time.
