Cookie Policy

Effective Date: March 25, 2026 | Last Updated: March 25, 2026

Summary: This Cookie Policy explains how churchchicks.click uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. Introduction

Welcome to churchchicks.click ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website located at churchchicks.click, and the choices you have regarding their use.

We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how it is used. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, you may contact us at:

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (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 a better user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, churchchicks.click) 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 device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded onto your device. The next time you visit the website from the same device, the browser checks to see if it has a cookie that is relevant to the site. If it does, it sends the information contained in that cookie back to the website. The website then "knows" that you have been to it before and in some cases tailors what pops up on screen to take account of that fact.

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

2.2 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 "internet tags," "pixel tags," or "clear GIFs") that may be used to monitor user behavior, manage content, and compile usage statistics.
Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally within your browser on your device.
Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is only stored for the duration of your browsing session.
Scripts: Pieces of JavaScript code that are used to collect and analyze data about how you interact with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Essential cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, such as adding items to an online shopping cart or using a secure area of the website, cannot be provided. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will then not work as intended.

3.2 Analytics / 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 to know 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 to collect this information.

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.

Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make when you use our website (such as your language preference or the region you are in) and to provide enhanced, more personal features. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be 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 websites.

Advertising cookies do not store directly 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. These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests, and to limit the number of times you see an advertisement.
