Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how ChickenRoad uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with our Chicken Road website. It is designed to be a clear reference you can return to whenever you want to understand what information is stored on your device. Rather than burying details in complex legal language, we describe in plain terms which cookies we place, how long they last, and what they do. Some cookies help the site function properly, others help us remember your preferences, and a few are used to understand how people navigate our pages. Where cookies involve personal data, we handle that data in line with applicable privacy regulations and our broader data protection practices. By continuing to browse, you stay in control because this policy tells you what is happening in the background and how you can adjust your settings at any time.

Summary of the purpose of the cookie policy

The main purpose of this Cookie Policy is to help you quickly understand why Chicken Road uses cookies and how those choices affect your experience with ChickenRoad. We give you a snapshot of the key reasons cookies are present on the site, including security, basic functionality, performance monitoring, and personalization. Instead of forcing you to read technical explanations, we highlight the practical outcomes, such as staying logged in, keeping items in your cart, or showing content that better matches your interests. You also get a simple view of which cookies are optional and depend on your consent, and which ones are necessary for the site to run at all. For transparency, the meta title used for this page contains 32 characters and the meta description contains 132 characters, which keeps them within commonly recommended limits for search results display. With this overview, you can decide whether to keep your current cookie settings or make changes that better fit how you want ChickenRoad to handle your data.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website, such as ChickenRoad, stores on your browser or device when you visit or use certain features of our services. They usually contain a unique identifier, the name of the website, and some information about how your browser interacts with that site. Some cookies are placed directly by us, while others may be set by third parties that provide services such as analytics, embedded content, or advertising. Although cookies often include a random string of characters, over time they can be associated with preferences or actions that relate to you. Because of this, many jurisdictions treat certain cookies as personal data or as technologies that may impact your privacy. This policy treats cookies broadly, so when we mention them we may also be referring to similar tools like pixels, tags, local storage, or other tracking technologies that work in a comparable way.

How and why cookies are used

When you visit ChickenRoad, cookies help the site respond in a way that feels tailored to you while still allowing Chicken Road to operate reliably and securely. Some cookies remember choices you make, such as language or region, so you do not have to set them again each time. Others measure how pages are performing, which links are used most often, and where visitors might be getting stuck or leaving. We also rely on certain security cookies to detect unusual behaviour, protect against abuse, and help ensure that log-in and payment processes remain stable. Where marketing or advertising cookies are used, they generally aim to show you content that is more relevant to your interests rather than generic messages. Certain cookies help us see which features are popular, which allows us to prioritise improvements that actually make the service smoother. The main groups of cookies we rely on are outlined below.

• Strictly necessary cookies, which are required for core functions such as page navigation, account access, and use of secure areas of the site.

• Functional cookies, which remember choices like language, region, or display preferences to make your visits more convenient.

• Performance and analytics cookies, which help us understand how visitors use our pages so we can improve layout, content, and features.

• Advertising and targeting cookies, which may be used to show more relevant ads or limit how often you see the same message.

• Social media or content cookies, which support embedded content or sharing tools provided by other platforms.

Because each category serves a different purpose, you may see separate options to enable or disable certain types of cookies in banners or settings panels on ChickenRoad. Where we use tools from partners, such as analytics providers, they may place their own cookies either on our domain or on their own domains to measure usage and performance. Those partners are required to process data in line with the contracts we have in place and with applicable privacy rules. You can usually manage these cookies either through our on-site controls, where available, or through your browser tools, which let you remove or block some or all non-essential cookies. If you choose to disable certain cookies, some parts of the site may work differently or become unavailable, but core information about your choices will still be respected wherever technically possible.

Your Rights

You have several rights when it comes to how cookies are used in connection with your visits to ChickenRoad, and we want Chicken Road to make those rights easy to exercise. Depending on your location, you may have the right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. You may also have the right to ask for more detailed information about the specific cookies in use and the third parties that may receive data through them. In many cases, you can object to certain types of processing that rely on cookies, such as profiling for personalised advertising. You might also have the right to request access to personal data linked to cookie identifiers used by ChickenRoad, to correct inaccuracies, or in some situations to request deletion. Local laws may provide additional rights or specific procedures, and we will honour those requirements where they apply. In practice, you can usually exercise these rights by taking some of the following steps.

1. Review the cookie banner or preferences centre on our site and adjust your choices for non-essential cookies.

2. Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies, or to receive a warning before new cookies are stored.

3. Use tools offered by some third parties to opt out of certain analytics or advertising cookies, where such tools are available in your region.

4. Contact us using the details below if you have a question about specific cookies or want more information about how they are used.

Even after using these tools, you can always come back to ChickenRoad and update your choices if your privacy expectations change or if you start using the Chicken Road service in a different way. Some browsers also offer additional controls, such as blocking third-party cookies by default or sending signals that express your tracking preferences. Where legally recognised signals are supported, we will treat them as a request to limit certain types of tracking, although technical standards in this area continue to evolve. If you feel that your rights have not been fully respected, you may be able to raise the issue with your local data protection authority or another relevant regulator. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve any questions or concerns promptly and explain how cookie-related data is being handled.

Contact details

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or about how ChickenRoad uses cookies in connection with your visits, you can contact us at contact@tbsurfing.com and we will do our best to assist you. Please include enough information about your request, such as the pages you visited, the type of device or browser you used, and any specific cookies or settings you are concerned about. You can use the same contact details if you want to exercise any privacy rights that relate to cookie identifiers or to ask for additional clarification about our practices. In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before responding in detail, especially where your request involves access to or deletion of personal data. We aim to reply within a reasonable time frame and to provide clear, straightforward answers that help you understand what is happening with your information.

Effective Date

This Cookie Policy is effective from 17 December 2025 and applies to all visits to the ChickenRoad website and related Chicken Road services from that date onward. We may update the policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, new legal requirements, or adjustments to the way our services work. When we make significant changes, we will adjust the date shown in this section and, where appropriate, provide additional notice on the site. Your continued use of the site after an updated policy is posted means that the new version applies to cookies used from that point forward. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you stay informed about how and why cookies are being used each time you interact with the service.
