COOKIE POLICY
Home page consent statement: Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Click “Accept All” to consent to all cookies, “Reject Non-Essential” to allow only the cookies necessary for the site to function, or “Manage Preferences” to choose by category. For more information, please read our Cookie Policy.
At Chowseek LLC, we are committed to transparent communication about the way our website collects information from users. Our Privacy Policy, located at www.chowseek.com/privacy/, describes and governs our data collection and processing practices. This Cookie Policy specifically addresses how we use various technologies. The cookie technologies covered in this policy include cookies, flash cookies, pixels, web beacons, and other related data files customarily used by most websites today.
Cookies Explained
Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit a website or use our App. They allow a site or app to capture data you provide and store it for later retrieval. Cookies, and comparable technologies used in mobile environments such as software development kit (“SDK”) based identifiers and local storage, are most often used to capture information about things like your user preferences and decisions. By using these technologies, we and our service providers are able to understand your online and in-app practices and create time-saving options to enhance your overall experience. For example, if you decline to sign up for our email list, we can recall that choice so that you are not asked again immediately after declining.
We, and our third party service providers use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Necessary. To operate core site and account functionality, including maintaining your login session and remembering your account and preference settings, and to provide security features such as fraud prevention. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
- Functional. To provide features you request, such as signing in through Facebook Login or Google Login, and to route you to the correct page or feature within our site.
- Analytics. To understand how visitors use our site and to improve performance, including through Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. Microsoft Clarity may include session-replay and heat-map recording of on-site activity, which we deploy only after you have consented as described in the “Consent” section below.
- Advertising. To measure the effectiveness of our marketing and, where you have not opted out, to deliver advertising that may be tailored to your interests.
Third-Party Cookies
The cookies and similar technologies stored when you visit our site or use our App may also include those placed by third parties, including the analytics, authentication, infrastructure, and payment providers identified in Section 5.1 of our Privacy Policy (currently Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Login, Google Login, Cloudflare, and Supabase), as well as Stripe for payment processing. Third-party cookies and SDKs are used primarily to track browsing or in-app activity and, in some cases, to deliver advertising to you across other sites and apps. Each third party's collection and use of information through these technologies is governed by its own privacy policy, not this Cookie Policy.
Consent
When you first visit our site, we present a cookie banner offering symmetrical options to “Accept All,” “Reject Non-Essential,” or “Manage Preferences” by category. Necessary cookies, which are required for our site to function, are not subject to this choice. You do not need to accept non-essential cookies to use our site, and declining them will not prevent you from accessing our core content and features.
Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal, we treat that signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information through cookies and similar technologies, without requiring any additional action from you.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. California residents may also opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information collected through cookies at any time using the mechanism described in Section 9 of our Privacy Policy. We will not discriminate against you for exercising this choice.
Minors. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of a known minor under the age of 16 through cookies or similar technologies without the affirmative opt-in consent described in our Privacy Policy, and we do not knowingly collect such information from children under 13, consistent with Section VII of our Privacy Policy.

However, please note that disabling certain cookies could significantly impact your user experience.

The Chowseek mobile App does not use browser cookies. However, the App may use other technologies or device-level identifiers for purposes such as analytics, functionality, security, or advertising, as described in our Privacy Policy. You may be able to manage certain tracking or advertising preferences through your device's operating system settings, including Apple's App Tracking Transparency controls and Android's applicable privacy and advertising settings.
