Welcome to Dave's Hot Chicken ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at daves-cafe.click and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect and process personal data. Together, these documents describe our full data practices.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and 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 computer both when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit daves-cafe.click for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. The next time you visit our site from the same device, your browser checks whether it has a relevant cookie and, if so, sends the information in that cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize your device and customize your experience accordingly.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

• The name of the server the cookie was sent from
• The lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device)
• A value — usually a randomly generated unique number

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to remember what you have done during a single browsing session.

Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.
