Last Updated: May 2, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio's Cookie Policy. This policy explains what cookies are, how our website (eat-caferio.rest) uses them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage or disable them. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and ensuring that your privacy is respected in accordance with applicable United States laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and digital transparency.

This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access or interact with our website. By using eat-caferio.rest, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out as described in this document.

For any questions or concerns regarding this Cookie Policy, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this document.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to provide essential functionality, and to collect information about how users interact with web pages.

Cookies are sent from the website's server to your browser and stored on your device. Each time you revisit the website, your browser sends these cookies back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember your preferences and actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, when combined with other data we collect, they may be used to identify you as an individual. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device — they are entirely passive data files.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit eat-caferio.rest, our server places one or more cookies on your device. These cookies may collect data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on the website, and other browsing behavior. This information helps us improve your user experience, personalize content, analyze traffic patterns, and serve relevant advertising.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the website.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.

Cookies can also be classified as first-party cookies (set directly by eat-caferio.rest) or third-party cookies (set by third-party services integrated into our website, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on eat-caferio.rest. Each category serves a distinct purpose, and your rights with respect to each category may vary depending on applicable law.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also referred to as strictly necessary cookies) are indispensable for the proper functioning of our website. Without these cookies, core features such as page navigation, secure login, shopping cart functionality, and access to secure areas of the site would not be available. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, they cannot be disabled without significantly impairing your experience.

These cookies do not collect any information that could be used for marketing purposes. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

3.2 Analytics and Performance 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 visitors, understand which pages are most popular, identify how visitors navigate through the website, and detect any errors or performance issues. The data collected helps us continuously improve our website and the overall user experience.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics collects data such as page views, session duration, bounce rates, traffic sources, and user behavior flows. This data is aggregated and anonymized before being reported to us.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our pages. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, your location, or your username — and provide a more personalized experience.

If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and some features of the website may become unavailable or less effective.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called targeting or marketing cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging to you. These cookies track your browsing habits across websites and build a profile of your interests, which is then used to display advertisements aligned with those interests. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

These cookies are set by our advertising partners and may share your browsing data with third-party advertisers. Under the CCPA/CPRA, sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal data, and California residents have the right to opt out of such activities. Please see Section 6 for information on how to exercise this right.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The table below provides detailed information about the specific cookies deployed on eat-caferio.rest, including their names, purposes, types, and duration.

Note: This list is updated periodically to reflect changes in the cookies used on our website. The actual cookies present may vary slightly depending on your location, device, and browser settings.

5. Third-Party Cookies and Services

In addition to our own first-party cookies, eat-caferio.rest integrates several third-party tools and services that may place their own cookies on your device. We do not control these third-party cookies and are not responsible for their content or functionality. The use of data collected by these third parties is governed by their respective privacy policies.

Key third-party services that may place cookies on your device include:

• Google LLC: We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and Google Ads to serve targeted advertising. Google may use your data in accordance with its Privacy Policy.
• Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook): We may use the Facebook Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to serve you relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram. Learn more about Facebook's Data Policy.
• Microsoft Advertising (Bing): We use Bing Ads for digital marketing campaigns. Microsoft's use of data is governed by its Privacy Statement.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers to understand how they collect and use your data.

6. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have several options for managing and controlling cookies. Please note that restricting or deleting cookies may impact your ability to use certain features of our website. Below are the available methods for managing your cookie preferences.

6.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu of your browser. The following links provide instructions for managing cookies in popular browsers:

In addition to browser-level controls, you can use the following opt-out tools to disable specific third-party cookies and tracking technologies:

6.3 Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. While we respect your privacy preferences, our website does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals. However, you may use the opt-out tools described in Section 6.2 to limit tracking.

6.4 California Residents — Your CCPA/CPRA Rights
