1. Introduction
Welcome to Cafe Rio. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your visit to our website, food-caferio.click. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are also available on our website. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.
If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, provide reporting information, and deliver a better, more personalized browsing experience to users.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you visit and are sent to your browser. Your browser stores these cookies locally, and the next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit food-caferio.click, our web server may send one or more cookies to your browser. Each cookie contains a unique identifier — a small string of text — that allows our website to recognize your browser. Cookies can store a variety of information, such as your language preferences, login details, items in your shopping cart, and browsing activity on our site.
Some cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser (these are called "session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a specified period of time or until you delete them manually (these are called "persistent cookies").
2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
- First-party cookies are set directly by Cafe Rio (food-caferio.click) and can only be read by our website.
- Third-party cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms. These third parties may use the cookies to track your activity across multiple websites.
3. Why We Use Cookies
Cafe Rio uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for several purposes, including:
- Ensuring the website operates correctly and securely
- Remembering your preferences and settings so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit
- Analyzing how visitors use our website so we can improve performance and content
- Delivering relevant advertising and promotional content based on your interests
- Enabling social media features and integrations
- Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use into four main types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising. Below is a detailed explanation of each category.
4.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our website would not work. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling in forms, or setting privacy preferences. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled without significantly affecting how our website functions.
Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are compliant with applicable United States privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
4.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies can remember your language preferences, your region, or any customizations you have made to the site. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
4.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to measure the number of visits, traffic sources, and which pages are most popular. This data helps us improve the performance and usability of our website. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.
4.4 Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are typically placed by advertising networks with our permission and may track your browsing activity across multiple websites. We use Google Ads cookies for this purpose.
