This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This policy applies to all pages and services accessible through chicksschurch.digital and any subdomains associated with it.

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. These files are stored in your browser's directory or program data subfolders. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, shopping cart contents, and browsing behavior.

Cookies were originally designed to help websites function more efficiently and to provide basic functionalities that improve the user experience. Over time, their use has expanded to include analytics tracking, advertising targeting, and personalization features.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit chicksschurch.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie file and sends it back to our server each time you make a request to our website. This allows our website to recognize your device and retrieve any stored information associated with your previous visits.

Cookies can be set by our website directly (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that we integrate into our website, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks (third-party cookies). Each cookie has a specific lifespan — some are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them (persistent cookies).

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and page visits.
• Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond the standard cookie lifespan.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about how you interact with our website.
• Fingerprinting: A method that collects information about your browser and device configuration to create a unique identifier.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all references to "cookies" include these similar tracking technologies unless otherwise specified.

Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are required for the basic functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our website cannot be provided, and you may not be able to use the website properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent under applicable U.S. law, as they are strictly necessary to deliver the service you have requested.

Essential cookies are used for purposes such as:

• Maintaining your session as you navigate through pages
• Remembering items you add to an online order or cart
• Ensuring secure browsing and preventing fraudulent activity
• Load balancing to distribute traffic across servers
• Storing your cookie consent preferences

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of our website. We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics tool, which sets several cookies on your device to track your interactions with our website.

If you choose to disable functional cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your user experience on our website may be affected.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also known as targeting or marketing 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. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission and remember that you have visited a website. This information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking and may work with advertising partners to serve relevant ads to users who have previously visited our website (remarketing). Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information, which may include certain advertising cookie activities.
