1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). This Cookie Policy explains how Cafe Rio, operated through the website caferio-delivery.click, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website, place food orders online, or interact with our digital services.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and to giving you meaningful control over your data. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of our website located in the United States. Where applicable, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding consumer data practices.

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 operators to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Cafe Rio) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website — such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies can be:

  • Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They help maintain your session as you navigate through the website.
  • Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. These help us recognize you when you return to our website.
  • First-Party Cookies: Cookies placed directly by caferio-delivery.click.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Cookies placed by external services and partners, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use the following similar technologies:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user engagement.
  • Local Storage: Data stored in your browser's local storage that persists beyond browser sessions.
  • Session Storage: Data stored temporarily during a single browsing session.
  • JavaScript Tags: Scripts that collect data about your device and browsing behavior.

Cafe Rio uses four main categories of cookies on caferio-delivery.click. Below, we describe each category and explain why we use them.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and our online food ordering platform. Without these cookies, our services cannot function properly. Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable law because they are strictly necessary to deliver the service you have requested.

Essential cookies help with:

  • Maintaining your shopping cart and order details as you navigate our site

Analytics cookies help us understand:

  • Which menu items and food categories receive the most interest
  • Where users drop off during the ordering process
  • Technical performance data such as page load times and error reports

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, a functional cookie may remember your preferred delivery address, your dietary preferences, or your preferred payment method so that you do not have to enter this information every time you visit.

Functional cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
