1. Introduction

Welcome to Chopt ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website chopt-food.click, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. We are committed to being transparent about our data collection practices and ensuring you have full control over your personal information.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. Our practices are designed to comply with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing unfair or deceptive acts and practices.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our data practices, 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-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts a website and sent to your browser. Your browser stores these files on your device. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends these cookies back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies can be classified based on their origin and duration:

  • First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, chopt-food.click).
  • Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, typically by third-party services such as analytics providers or advertisers.
  • Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They do not store any persistent information.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They help websites remember your settings and preferences across visits.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, information stored in cookies may be linked to personal data that we hold about you, particularly when you are logged into an account or have provided us with contact details.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also called tracking pixels), local storage objects (LSOs or HTML5 cookies), and pixel tags. These function in a similar manner to cookies and are covered under this policy.

3. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Ensuring our website functions correctly and securely.
  • Remembering your preferences and settings so you do not have to re-enter them each visit.

  • Delivering relevant advertisements to you based on your interests.
  • Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
  • Providing social media features and integrations.
  • Protecting our website against fraud and misuse.

We only use cookies where we have a legitimate purpose to do so, and we strive to use the minimum amount of data necessary to achieve those purposes.

9. Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. Law

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data, including data collected through cookies. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to:

  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.
  • Access their personal information.

Other states, including but not limited to Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), and Texas (TDPSA), have also enacted consumer data privacy laws.
