Cookie policy

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (collectively, “cookies”) used on Chicken in a Suit. It is part of, and incorporated into, our privacy policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and provide information to the website operator. Some cookies are set by the website you visit (first-party cookies); others are set by domains other than the one you are visiting (third-party cookies).

Beyond traditional cookies, this policy also covers similar technologies — including web beacons, pixels, and local storage — which can perform comparable functions.

Categories we use

1. Strictly necessary

These cookies are required for the Site to function correctly and cannot be disabled in our consent banner. They do not store any personally identifiable information. Examples include:

• A cookie that stores your theme preference (light or dark mode).
• A cookie that records your acceptance or rejection of optional cookie categories so we don’t ask you again on every page.

2. Analytics (optional)

When enabled with your consent, these cookies help us understand how readers interact with the Site in aggregate — which articles get read, how long sessions last, where readers come from. They do not identify individual readers.

If we use a third-party analytics provider, we will list it here and link to its privacy policy. We honor “Do Not Track” browser signals and the Global Privacy Control (GPC) where supported.

3. Advertising (optional, if applicable)

When advertising is enabled, third-party advertising partners may use cookies to deliver, measure, and personalize advertisements. Common partners and their privacy policies:

• Google Advertising Products (AdSense, Ad Manager, Analytics) — see Google’s policy.
• NAI participating networks — opt out at optout.networkadvertising.org.
• DAA participating networks — opt out at aboutads.info/choices.
• EDAA (EU) — opt out at youronlinechoices.eu.

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we use Google’s IAB TCF-compliant consent management. Personalized advertising will not appear unless you opt in.

4. Embedded media

If we embed third-party content — YouTube videos, Bluesky posts, Spotify players — those services may set their own cookies when you interact with the embedded content. We have no control over the cookies set by these services; their policies apply.

How to manage cookies

You can manage cookies in three ways:

1. Our consent banner — accept, reject, or customize categories on first visit. Re-open it from any page footer.
2. Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. See your browser’s help documentation.
3. Industry opt-outs — see the advertising section above for network-level opt-out tools.

Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will break parts of the Site, including theme preference persistence and consent-banner dismissal.

Updates

We update this policy when we add, remove, or materially change our cookie usage. The “last updated” date above is the source of truth.
