Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 29, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Chopt. We operate the website located at choptgrill.rest (the "Website"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and protect your personal information. By accessing and using our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

We are committed to being transparent about our data practices. If you have any questions about how we use cookies or tracking technologies, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this document.

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 their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized browsing experience, and to generate reporting information about website usage.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. The next time you visit the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit choptgrill.rest, our web server sends a small file to your browser. This file is stored on your device and assigned a unique identifier. Every time you make a request to our server — for example, by clicking a link or loading a new page — your browser sends this identifier back to us, along with the request. This process allows our server to recognize you as a returning visitor and to deliver a personalized experience.

Cookies can store a wide range of information, including user preferences, login status, items in a shopping cart, and analytical data such as how long you spent on a particular page and which links you clicked.

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

• First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by choptgrill.rest. They are primarily used to ensure our website functions correctly and to remember your preferences.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services that we use, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites.

2.3 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They help our website function during a single browsing session.
• 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 across multiple visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our Website. Each category serves a distinct purpose, and we explain each below.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly 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. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for — such as accessing secure areas of the Website — cannot be provided.

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 understand 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. 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.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users interact with our Website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable the 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, your location, or your order preferences — so we can provide you with a more relevant and tailored experience.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set through our Website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. We use Google Ads conversion tracking cookies for this purpose.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The following table provides detailed information about the specific cookies deployed on choptgrill.rest, including their names, purposes, types, and durations.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

We operate in the United States, and our use of cookies is governed by applicable federal and state laws, including but not limited to:

• The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act: We adhere to the FTC's guidelines on consumer privacy and data transparency, ensuring our cookie practices are fair and not deceptive.
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): If you are a resident of California, you have specific rights regarding your personal information, including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Cookies that enable targeted advertising may constitute "sharing" of personal data under the CPRA. California residents may exercise their rights by contacting us using the details below.
• Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): Our Website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13.

For strictly necessary cookies, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure website. For analytics, functional, and advertising cookies, we rely on your consent, which you may provide or withdraw at any time.

6. How to Manage and Control Cookies

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, doing so may have a significant impact on your experience when using choptgrill.rest. Below is a summary of potential impacts based on which cookies you disable:

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, our Website does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices if a standard is established.

California residents may also make use of the Global Privacy Control (GPC), which is recognized under the CPRA as an opt-out signal for the sale or sharing of personal information. If you use a browser or browser extension that supports GPC, we will honor that signal as a request to opt out of the sharing of personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.

10. Cookies and Children

Our Website is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly place cookies that collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through cookies on our Website, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will take steps to remove that information.

11. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, applicable laws, or our business practices. When we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via a banner or notification on our Website.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. Your continued use of choptgrill.rest after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
