Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how our website uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, protect, and improve your experience. It tells you what data these small files collect, why we store them, and the choices you can make. Because transparency matters, we describe the categories of cookies we place, the partners who help us measure performance, and the limits of what cookies can do. References in this document to preferences and site features also cover areas labeled or internally nicknamed chicken road, which are simply sections of functionality. Please read this policy carefully to understand how these technologies interact with your device and how you remain in control at all times.

The purpose of this policy is to give you clear, readable information about cookies we use and the reasons behind each use. It helps you decide which optional cookies to allow and which to decline without breaking core site functions. We outline how cookies remember basics like language, keep sessions secure, and power analytics that show where visitors struggle. Where you see features named for internal workflows such as chicken road, the same rules apply and the same options exist. If a component associated with testing, like aspects we tag as part of chicken road 2, sets extra cookies, we explain the purpose and lifespan. This summary also points you to tools for consent management and to steps you can take in your browser.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device to remember information between visits. Some are necessary to load pages, keep you logged in, or process actions you request. Others are optional and help us understand how people navigate, so we can fix friction and improve clarity. A cookie can hold an identifier, settings, or a timestamp, but it is not a program and cannot run code on its own. In our documentation we sometimes link a cookie to a feature group name such as chicken road 2, which is just a label for a set of functions rather than a separate product.

How and why cookies are used

We use cookies to make the site reliable, secure, and convenient from one visit to the next. Essential cookies keep your session intact so pages load correctly and your actions are processed safely. Performance cookies help us see aggregated patterns like which pages people exit from or how long forms take to submit. Functional cookies remember choices such as language, theme, or dismissals of notices so you do not have to act repeatedly. When testing new features, internal groups like chicken road may set short-lived test cookies to compare layouts or flows. Advertising or referral cookies may appear only where we run campaigns, and they follow the consent choices you set. Below are typical categories we may use when your consent allows them:

  • Essential: session management, load balancing, and security controls such as CSRF protection.

  • Performance/Analytics: aggregated metrics about navigation, errors, and feature usage.

  • Functional: remembering language, theme, and other preference settings.

  • Advertising/Affiliate: measuring referrals or campaign reach, where applicable and permitted.

We calibrate retention so that most optional cookies expire within a few months, while essential cookies typically last only for the active session. Analytics data is aggregated and pseudonymized, and we do not attempt to identify individual visitors from cookie values. Where third-party tools are used, they operate under their own policies, but they only run after you have signaled consent. You can revise your consent at any time through the on-site controls described below, and your new choices will take effect on your next page load. Labels such as chicken road 2 simply help our team track experiments internally, and they do not change your rights or the way your data is handled.

Your Rights

You decide which optional cookies we may place, and you can withdraw consent whenever you like. The consent banner and settings panel are available from the footer on every page for quick adjustments. If a test group—perhaps one we label as chicken road—adds new optional cookies, those will appear in the panel with clear toggles. Features we tag for internal iteration, like portions related to chicken road 2, will respect your existing preferences automatically. You also have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data that relates to cookie identifiers where the law grants that option. Local regulations where you live may provide additional protections, and we will honor them. To exercise control, you can follow these general steps:

  1. Open the cookie settings panel on our site and adjust category toggles to allow or deny optional cookies.

  2. Use your browser settings to block, limit, or delete cookies for this site or all sites, depending on your preference.

  3. Where available, use opt-out mechanisms provided by analytics or advertising providers to limit cross-site tracking.

  4. Clear existing cookies to remove stored identifiers, then reload pages so new settings are applied.

The exact steps can vary slightly across browsers and devices, but the principles remain the same. Blocking all cookies may degrade parts of the site, including areas that need authentication or remember simple preferences. If something stops working after a change, try re-enabling only the essential category or reload the page to refresh your state. Our support team can guide you through the settings, though we cannot change your browser configuration for you. When describing your issue, mentioning the page and any feature label such as chicken road helps us reproduce the behavior faster.

Contact details

If you have questions about this policy or how cookies are used, you can reach our privacy team by email at contact@chickenroad-predictor.com. Please include a brief description of the page or feature you were using and the time of your visit to help us investigate. When relevant, reference internal labels you saw on the page, such as chicken road, so we know precisely which component you mean. We aim to respond promptly and will never ask you to send passwords or other sensitive credentials by email. If your note concerns an experiment tag like chicken road 2, we can explain what was being tested and whether any optional cookies were involved. For non-cookie matters, our general support address will route you to the right team.

Effective Date

This Cookie Policy takes effect on December 8, 2025, and applies to visits on or after that date. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and refresh the consent banner where necessary. Minor clarifications that do not change your choices may be posted without triggering the banner again, but the revision date will still move. Archived versions are available upon request if you need to compare terms over time for legal or compliance reasons. Any updates related to internal testing labels, including chicken road, will be reflected within the settings panel and this document so you can review them.
