Cookie Policy

Last Updated: July 4, 2026

Important Notice: This Cookie Policy explains how Chopt ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website new-chopt.click. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. About Us

This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Chopt, a food business operating in the United States. You can reach us through the following contact details:

Company Name: Chopt
Website: new-chopt.click
Email: info@new-chopt.click

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 and operators to make their websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting and analytical information.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you are visiting and are delivered to your browser. Your browser then stores the cookie file in a designated folder on your device. Each time you return to the same website, your browser retrieves the cookie and sends it back to the web server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies set by the website owner directly (in this case, Chopt) 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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit new-chopt.click, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this file and the information it contains. On your next visit to our site, your browser checks whether it has a cookie relevant to our site and, if so, sends the information it contains back to us.

Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address, if you choose to provide it to us). However, this information can only be stored if you enable it — websites cannot gain access to information you have not provided them, and they cannot access other files on your computer or device.

There are two primary categories of cookies based on their lifespan:

Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser (or once your session ends). They are used to help the website function properly during your visit.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device until they expire (based on a set expiration date) or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are indispensable for the operation of our website. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and shopping cart features. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or to remember where you have been on the internet.

4.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works — for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

As a business operating in the United States, we are committed to complying with applicable privacy and consumer protection laws, including:

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is being collected about you through cookies, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and the right to request deletion of your personal data.

10. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images (also known as "clear GIFs" or "tracking pixels") that are embedded invisibly in web pages or HTML-based emails. They are used to track user behavior, page views, and email open rates.
Local Storage: A technology built into modern web browsers that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, data stored in local storage does not expire automatically and is not sent to the server with every request.
Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but the data is stored only for the duration of a browser session and is deleted when the browser tab is closed.
Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings (such as screen resolution, installed plugins, and time zone) to create a unique identifier. We do not actively use fingerprinting technology, but some third-party services on our site may employ this technique.
