1. Introduction
Welcome to Starbird Chicken ("we," "us," or "our"). We operate the website located at starbirdtasty.click (the "Site"). This Cookie Policy is designed to provide you with clear and transparent information about how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our Site, place orders online, browse our menu, or otherwise interact with our digital services.
We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring that your experience on our website is transparent and trustworthy. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website.
By accessing or using starbirdtasty.click, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, you have the right to adjust your browser settings or opt out through the methods described in this document.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners and third-party service providers to make websites work more efficiently, provide functionality, and collect information about how users interact with websites.
Cookies serve a variety of purposes, including:
- Remembering your preferences and settings (such as language preferences or items in your cart)
- Keeping you logged in to your account during a session
- Helping us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
- Delivering relevant advertising based on your interests
- Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
Cookies can be classified in several ways. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. Cookies can also be categorized as first-party cookies (set directly by Starbird Chicken) or third-party cookies (set by external service providers on our behalf).
In addition to cookies, we may also use related technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and session storage. These technologies function similarly to cookies and are used for comparable purposes. For simplicity, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies" in this policy.
