This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

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 and operators to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized experiences to visitors.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you revisit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences, settings, and browsing behavior over time.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, when combined with other data we collect, they may be linked to your personal information. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties such as advertisers or analytics providers (known as "third-party cookies").
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit chick-imos.rest, our web server sends a cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this file on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser reads the cookie and transmits the stored information back to our server or the relevant third-party server. This process happens automatically and helps us deliver a more personalized and functional experience.
Cookies can be categorized by their lifespan:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session while you browse our website.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies 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.
