Chopt is committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. We understand that your privacy matters, and we want to ensure that you have full control over the data collected when you visit our platform.

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 operators in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable certain functionality.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to the browser when you visit a site. The browser stores these files and sends them back to the server on subsequent visits. This process allows websites to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and personalize your experience.
How Cookies Work
When you visit chopt-tasty.click, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall information about your previous visit. Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They cannot read data from your hard drive and are not spyware or adware.
Types of Cookies by Duration
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate between pages on our website.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
Types of Cookies by Origin
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Chopt when you visit our website. They are primarily used for functional and operational purposes.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activities across different websites.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on chopt-tasty.click. Each category serves a distinct purpose and is described in detail below.
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of the website would not be available to you. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of our website and services, we do not require your consent to place them. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, though this may affect how the website functions.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics 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, how visitors move around our website, and how users are finding our content. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
We use Google Analytics to collect this information. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information. This data is processed in a way that does not identify individuals. We do not allow Google to use or share our analytics data.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable our 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. These cookies allow us to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, location, or other settings, so we can provide a more personalized experience.
If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and you may experience a less personalized browsing experience.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same advertisement from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and, in some cases, selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners and may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
Under the CCPA/CPRA, the use of advertising cookies may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. California residents have the right to opt out of such activities. Please see our Privacy Policy and the opt-out options below for more information.

- Essential Cookies Disabled: If you disable essential cookies, core functions of our website may stop working.

7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no uniform industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals from your browser. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and may update our practices if a standardized approach becomes established.
