Last Updated: May 28, 2026

Summary: This Cookie Policy explains how Starbird Chicken ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website cafe-starbird.click. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Starbird Chicken. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or disable them.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website at cafe-starbird.click and should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

As a business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on online tracking and consumer protection.

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 in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Starbird 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 (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, your browser downloads a cookie from our server and stores it on your device. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the server to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits — such as your preferences or login status.

Cookies can be "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." 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 delete them manually.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as:

Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and page visits.
Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data locally on your device without an expiration date.
JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about how users interact with a website.
Fingerprinting: Techniques that collect information about your browser and device to identify you across sessions.

Throughout this policy, we refer to all these technologies collectively as "cookies."

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

Starbird Chicken uses cookies for a variety of reasons. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function properly, while others help us improve your experience, understand how visitors use our site, and deliver relevant advertising. Specifically, we use cookies to:

Ensure the website functions correctly and securely
Remember your preferences and settings
Analyze how visitors use our website so we can improve performance and content
Provide relevant and personalized advertising
Facilitate social media integration and sharing features
Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types, as described below:

4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart, or make use of our online ordering services. Without these cookies, certain services you have asked for cannot be provided. Because these cookies are essential, they cannot be switched off without severely impacting your experience on our website.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. 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 remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, location, or other customization options.

4.4 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 sites. They do not directly store 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.

6. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own first-party cookies, we permit various third parties to set cookies through our website. These third parties include:

6.1 Google Services

We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they visited prior to visiting our site. We use this information to improve our website and services. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

We also use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) to serve targeted advertisements. The _gcl_au cookie is used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

6.2 Facebook (Meta) Pixel

We use the Facebook Pixel on our website to track conversions from Facebook ads, optimize ads, build targeted audiences for future ads, and remarket to people who have already taken some kind of action on our website. The data collected through the Facebook Pixel is governed by Meta's Privacy Policy.

6.3 Other Third-Party Services

We may also use cookies from other third-party services such as social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube), payment processors, and customer support tools. Each of these services has its own privacy and cookie policies that govern how they collect and use data.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to manage and disable cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect the functionality and your overall experience on our website. The specific impacts depend on which type of cookies you disable:

Disabling Essential Cookies: If you disable strictly necessary cookies, core features of our website will not work. This includes our online ordering system, shopping cart functionality, secure login areas, and other critical services. We strongly advise against disabling essential cookies.

Disabling Functional Cookies: Disabling functional cookies means we cannot remember your preferences between visits. You may need to re-enter information such as your location, dietary preferences, and other settings each time you visit our website.

Disabling Analytics Cookies: If you disable analytics cookies, we will be unable to collect data about how our website is used. This means we may not be able to identify performance issues or make data-driven improvements to your browsing experience. Disabling these cookies will not significantly affect your personal experience on the site.

Disabling Advertising Cookies: If you disable advertising and targeting cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not mean you will see fewer ads — only that the ads you see will be less personalized.

9. Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. Law

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding the data collected through cookies:

9.1 California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) grant you additional rights regarding personal information collected through cookies, including:

10. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" 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 described in Section 7 to limit tracking.
