This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Together, these documents form the basis of our commitment to your privacy and data protection.

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 to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide information to website owners.

When you visit choptcafe.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. On your next visit, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit.

Cookies can be classified in several ways:

2.1 By Duration

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies help websites remember what you selected on previous pages, so you don't have to re-enter information.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and are activated again each time you visit the website that created them. They have an expiration date set by the website and are deleted automatically once that date passes, or you can delete them manually.

2.2 By Origin

• First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by the website you are visiting directly. They are generally used to improve your experience on that particular website.
• Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by a domain different from the one you are visiting. They are commonly used for advertising and tracking purposes across multiple websites.

2.3 Similar Technologies

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

• Web Beacons: Also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, these are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier, enabling us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email we sent.
• Local Storage: Similar to cookies, local storage allows websites to store data on your browser for later use, but with greater storage capacity.
• JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that help us collect information about how you interact with our website.
