Last Updated: July 25, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dave's Hot Chicken's Cookie Policy. This document is provided by Dave's Hot Chicken, reachable at [email protected], and applies to all users visiting our website at daves-hotdelivery.click.

At Dave's Hot Chicken, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy is intended to give you clear and complete information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. Please read this policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who interact with our website, whether you are browsing our menu, placing an online food delivery order, or simply exploring what Dave's Hot Chicken has to offer. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites function correctly, work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information to site owners.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and are delivered to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie, and the next time you visit the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the server to identify your device and remember certain information about your previous visits or preferences.

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 on or through the website (such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit daves-hotdelivery.click, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. Each time you make a subsequent request to our server, your browser sends this cookie back to our server. The cookie contains a unique identifier that allows our server to remember who you are and recall your preferences, actions, and history on our site.

Cookies can also be used to track your activities across different websites, which is a function primarily used by advertising and analytics cookies. This allows third-party advertisers to show you relevant ads based on your browsing history, and analytics providers to give us a comprehensive view of how users interact with our website across different sessions and devices.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

Cookies can remain on your device for different lengths of time, depending on their purpose:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during the time you are browsing our website. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Session cookies help our website function properly by keeping track of your actions within a single browsing session (for example, keeping items in your food order cart as you browse).
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them. Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits, and to collect data about your behavior over time.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Dave's Hot Chicken uses the following categories of cookies on daves-hotdelivery.click:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for our 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, filling in forms, or placing a food order. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for — such as completing an online order — cannot be provided.

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the service you requested.

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 to know 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.

We use Google Analytics, 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 users use our site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address, which may be anonymized) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

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 or improve your experience.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These 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. Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, your location, or your food preferences) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly. For example, we may not be able to remember your food preferences or saved delivery addresses, which could affect your ordering experience.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google and Facebook. 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 store personal information directly, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns — for example, to understand when a user who clicked on one of our ads subsequently placed a food delivery order. We may also use Facebook Pixel cookies to measure the effectiveness of our social media advertising campaigns.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. However, you will still see advertisements; they simply will not be tailored to your interests.

8. Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. Law

As a business operating in the United States, Dave's Hot Chicken is subject to applicable U.S. federal and state privacy laws. Depending on the state in which you reside, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data, including data collected through cookies.

8.1 California Residents — CCPA/CPRA

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to:

• Know what personal information is being collected about you through cookies and other means;
• Know whether your personal information is sold or disclosed, and to whom;
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information;
• Request deletion of your personal information;
• Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.

Please note that certain cookies — particularly advertising and analytics cookies — may constitute the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under CCPA/CPRA.

Dave's Hot Chicken complies with the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce. Our use of cookies is disclosed transparently in this Cookie Policy, and we do not engage in deceptive data collection or use practices. We follow the FTC's guidelines on online behavioral advertising and provide users with meaningful choices about the collection and use of their data.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, like many websites, daves-hotdelivery.click does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools described in Section 6 above to limit tracking.

We will continue to monitor developments in DNT technology and applicable regulations and will update our practices accordingly.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are using cookies. Your continued use of daves-hotdelivery.click after the posting of changes to this Cookie Policy will signify your acceptance of those changes.
