Welcome to Chopt's Cookie Policy. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience on our website. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

This Cookie Policy applies to all pages and services accessible through chopteat.click and supplements our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We encourage you to read this policy carefully alongside our other legal documents to fully understand your rights and our obligations.

As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for users located in California.

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 operators to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting and analytical information to site owners.

Cookies are stored in your browser's file directory and remain there until they expire or you delete them. When you revisit a website, the browser sends the cookie back to the web server, which recognizes you and can tailor content accordingly.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit chopteat.click, our web server sends a small data packet (the cookie) to your browser. Your browser stores this file and sends it back automatically each time you revisit our site. This process allows us to:

• Remember your preferences and settings
• Keep you logged into your account (if applicable)
• Understand how you interact with our content
• Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
• Improve and personalize your experience on our website

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

Cookies can be classified based on their lifespan:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are essential for certain functions to work correctly during your browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time (as defined by the cookie's expiration date) or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.

2.3 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

• First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Chopt when you visit our website. We control these cookies and use them primarily for functionality and analytics.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external services or partners (such as Google, Facebook, or other advertising networks) that provide features on our website. These third parties may collect information about your browsing behavior across different websites.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Without them, certain features and services cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect any personal information that could be used for marketing or to track your browsing activity on other websites.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, though some parts of the site may not work as a result.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for instance, which pages they visit most often and whether they receive error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. These cookies help us understand and improve how our website performs.

We use Google Analytics to help us analyze how users use our website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website usage by means of cookies. The information generated is used to create reports about the use of the website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or other settings) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.

The information collected by these cookies may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. Quite often, targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.
