Cookie Policy
Summary of the purpose of the cookie policy
This Cookie Policy explains how the chicken road website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you browse our pages. We want you to know exactly what data gets collected the moment you land here - no surprises, no hidden trackers you didn’t agree to. The policy covers what cookies are, why we use them, how long they stick around, and what you can do if you’d rather we didn’t store them at all. Pretty straightforward, right? Read on.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files. A web server drops them onto your device - your laptop, phone, tablet, whatever you’re browsing on - and your browser holds onto them for a set period. They’re not programs, they can’t run code, and they can’t sniff around your hard drive. What they can do is remember things: your language preference, whether you’ve already seen a pop-up, how you navigated from one page to another.
There are a few flavors worth knowing about. Session cookies vanish the second you close your browser tab. Persistent cookies hang around longer - sometimes days, sometimes up to 12 months, depending on their purpose. First-party cookies come from us directly. Third-party cookies are placed by external services we embed, like analytics tools or social sharing widgets.
How and why cookies are used
We use cookies on the chicken road game site for a handful of reasons, and none of them are sinister. First, strictly necessary cookies keep the site functioning - without them, pages wouldn’t load properly and certain features would just break. Second, analytical cookies (we rely on tools like Google Analytics) let us see aggregate traffic data: which pages get the most visits, how long people stick around, where they drop off. This helps us fix problems and improve content.
We also use preference cookies to remember choices you’ve made - say, your display settings or region. And yes, we use some third-party cookies tied to embedded content. We don’t sell your data to advertisers. That’s a line we don’t cross.
Cookie retention periods vary. Most analytical cookies expire within 13 months. Strictly necessary session cookies disappear when you close your browser. You’ll find a full breakdown in the cookie consent banner that appears on your first visit.
Your rights
You’ve got real control here. Under applicable data protection law - including GDPR where it applies - you can withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time. Just hit the cookie settings link in our site footer and adjust your preferences. Takes about 30 seconds.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser. Every major browser - Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge - has a settings menu where you can block or delete cookies. Keep in mind that disabling all cookies might make parts of the site behave oddly. Strictly necessary cookies can’t be switched off through our banner since they’re essential for the site to work at all, but you can still block them via browser settings if you really want to.
