3. 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 operators to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Starbird Chicken Grill) 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 when it visits certain other websites.
Cookies can be classified based on their duration:
- Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. They are used to keep track of your activities during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time, or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
4. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website at starbirdchickengrill.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small text file on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.
Cookies may contain information such as:
- A unique identifier for your browser or device
- Your language and regional preferences
- Items you have added to your cart or wishlist
- Your login status and session information
- Pages you have visited and links you have clicked
- The date and time of your visits
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, and device fingerprinting. Web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that function similarly to cookies and are used to track the online movements of web users or to verify that email messages have been opened.
5. Types of Cookies We Use
Starbird Chicken Grill uses the following categories of cookies on our website:
5.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate correctly, and services you have asked for cannot be provided. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website, you cannot refuse them. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, but this will impact how the website functions.
5.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the site. 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 site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics helps us understand how users interact with our website, what content is most popular, and how we can improve the overall user experience. The data collected through Google Analytics cookies is processed by Google LLC in accordance with their privacy policy.
5.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
5.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They 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 potentially other advertising platforms to promote Starbird Chicken Grill and reach potential customers who may be interested in our food and services. These platforms place cookies on your device to track conversions and serve relevant ads.
