Effective Date: June 21, 2026  |  Last Updated: June 21, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dave's Hot Chicken (hereinafter referred to as "we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website daveshotchicken.click (the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and to protecting your privacy in accordance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act. If you are a California resident, you have additional rights regarding the personal information collected through cookies, which are described in further detail below.

Please read this Cookie Policy carefully. If you have any questions, you may contact us at any time using the contact details provided at the end of 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 to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to 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 — for example, 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 also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our Website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded onto your device. The next time you visit the Website using the same device, the cookie file is retrieved and recognized by our web server. This allows us to remember your preferences, recognize returning visitors, and provide you with a more seamless and personalized browsing experience.

Cookies may store a range of information, including:

• Your login credentials and session information
• Your language and regional preferences
• Items added to your shopping cart or order preferences
• Your browsing activity across pages on our Website
• Information used for analytics and performance monitoring
• Data used for targeted advertising purposes

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during a single browser session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser. Session cookies are typically used to keep track of your movements from page to page so you are not repeatedly asked for the same information you have already provided.

Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our Website. Each serves a distinct and important purpose as outlined below.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services that you have asked for cannot be provided.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are exempt from requiring consent under most applicable privacy frameworks. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Website may not work as a result.

3.2 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 use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how visitors use our Website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our Website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

3.3 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 us to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, location, or other customization settings, and to provide improved and personalized features.

3.4 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 websites. 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 may use Facebook Pixel and similar advertising technologies to serve you relevant ads and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

5.2 Opt-Out Tools for Third-Party Cookies

In addition to browser settings, you can use the following tools to opt out of specific third-party tracking and advertising cookies:

5.3 Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our Website does not currently alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools listed above to limit tracking.
