Cookie Policy

Last Updated: July 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Chopt. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, how we use them, and how you can control them.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website at chopt-new.rest. Please read this policy carefully. If you have any questions, you can contact us at [email protected].

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are also available on our website.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to collect information about how users interact with the site.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember information about that user, such as their language preferences, login status, or items in a shopping cart.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit chopt-new.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize your browser and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies can be "session cookies," which are temporary and expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

• First-party cookies are set directly by our website (chopt-new.rest) and can only be read by us.
• Third-party cookies are set by third-party 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 different websites.

2.3 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

• Web beacons (pixel tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
• Local storage: A technology that allows websites to store data locally in your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
• Session storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device settings to create a unique identifier.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on chopt-new.rest:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling out forms, or setting privacy preferences. Without these cookies, parts of our website may not function properly.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they do not require your consent under applicable laws. However, you can block them in your browser settings, though this may affect how the website works.

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 how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized.

We use Google Analytics to collect this type of information. 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.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These 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. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Functional cookies may remember:

• Your language preference
• Your location (to show you relevant content such as local menu items or restaurant locations)
• Your previously saved order preferences
• Accessibility settings you have applied

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and social media platforms. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, though you will still see advertisements — they just may be less relevant to your interests.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The following table lists the specific cookies used on chopt-new.rest, their purpose, type, and duration:

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies (United States)

We operate in the United States and our cookie practices are governed by applicable U.S. laws, including:

• The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, which may include data collected via advertising cookies. You can exercise this right by using the opt-out tools described below or by contacting us directly.
• The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act: We comply with FTC guidelines on transparency and fair information practices regarding the use of tracking technologies.
• CAN-SPAM Act: While primarily applicable to email, we ensure our data practices related to web tracking also align with this legislation where relevant.

For strictly necessary cookies, no consent is required as these are essential to delivering the service you request. For all other cookies (analytics, functional, and advertising), we rely on your consent, which you can provide or withdraw at any time.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may have the following effects on your experience with our website:

8. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, we do not currently alter our data collection or cookie practices when we detect a DNT signal from your browser. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.

California residents may also benefit from the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which, under the CPRA, must be honored as a valid opt-out of the sale and sharing of personal information. We honor GPC signals to the best of our technical ability. For more information on GPC, visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.

These third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these third-party cookies and are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party websites you visit through links on our website. Key third parties whose cookies may be present on our site include:
