Last Updated: April 3, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to the Cookie Policy of Imos Pizza. This policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use on our website chick-imos.top, why we use them, and how you can control them. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and respecting your privacy rights in accordance with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

We encourage you to read this Cookie Policy carefully so that you can make informed decisions about your use of our website. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners 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 your browser when you visit a website. Your browser stores the cookie in a small file and sends it back to the server each time you return to the website. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Imos Pizza) 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, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action.
  • Local Storage Objects: Similar to cookies but stored in your browser's local storage rather than as a file on your device.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
  • Device Fingerprinting: A method of identifying a device based on its unique combination of characteristics.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit chick-imos.top, our web 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 cookie back to our server, which recognizes your device and can customize your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be classified based on their duration:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you are browsing 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 across multiple visits.
