This Cookie Policy explains exactly how chicken-road-app.co.nz collects, stores and uses cookies when you visit the site. Short version? Cookies help us keep the site running properly and understand how people interact with our chicken road content. We’re not hiding anything here - if you want the full picture of what’s happening behind the scenes when you browse, this is the page for you. We’ve tried to keep the language as plain as possible rather than burying everything in legal jargon you’d need a law degree to decode.
Cookies are small text files. A website drops them onto your device - your laptop, phone, tablet - and your browser stores them. They’re not programs, they can’t run code, and they definitely can’t snoop through your files. Think of them as a tiny sticky note your browser keeps so the site remembers certain things about your visit. Some cookies disappear the moment you close your browser (session cookies), while others stick around for days, months or even up to 2 years (persistent cookies). We use both types depending on the function they serve.
We use cookies for a few distinct reasons. First, strictly necessary cookies - these keep the site functional. Without them, things break. Full stop. Second, analytics cookies let us see which chicken road game pages get the most traffic, how long visitors stay, and where people tend to drop off. We use this data to improve the site, not to sell it to third parties. Third, preference cookies remember things like your language setting or display preferences so you don’t have to re-select them every single visit. We don’t run advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels for ad retargeting. That’s a deliberate choice. We’re a review and information platform, not an ad network.
You’ve got real control here. When you first land on our site, a cookie consent banner gives you the option to accept all cookies, accept only the strictly necessary ones, or customize your preferences. You can change your mind at any time - just head to the cookie settings link in the site footer. Your browser also has built-in controls. Most modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) let you block or delete cookies directly in the settings menu. Blocking all cookies might make parts of the site behave unexpectedly, but that’s your call to make. We respect it either way.
Got a question about our cookie practices that this policy doesn’t cover? Reach out directly. We’re a real team and we actually read our emails. Contact us at contact@chicken-road-app.co.nz and we’ll get back to you within a few business days. Please include “Cookie Policy” in the subject line so your message gets to the right person faster.
This Cookie Policy is effective as of January 1, 2026. We review it periodically and update it whenever our practices change or when applicable regulations require us to. If we make significant changes, we’ll update the effective date at the top of this section so you always know you’re reading the current version.
