We are committed to being transparent about our data practices. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. As a business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state 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 fair and transparent consumer practices.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to collect information about how visitors interact with their websites.

Cookies are created when your browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser, which then creates a text file. Every time the user returns to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server. Standard cookies are sent back and forth between the server and the browser every time you visit the website.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit foodcaferio.rest, our server places a cookie on your browser. This cookie may contain a unique identifier, the name of the domain it was set from, the duration after which the cookie will expire, and a value (usually a randomly generated unique number).

Cookies serve many different purposes. Some cookies are essential for the website to function properly, while others are used to remember your preferences, analyze how you use the site, or deliver targeted advertising. Cookies cannot access or read other files on your device, and they do not typically contain personally identifiable information in their raw form.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Origin

• First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Cafe Rio (i.e., by the foodcaferio.rest domain) when you visit our website.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by domains other than foodcaferio.rest — for example, Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms — when you visit our site.

2.3 Types of Cookies by Duration

• Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate between pages.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Cafe Rio uses the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of the site — such as shopping carts, online ordering, or secure login — would not function. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide the services you request, they do not require your consent under most applicable laws. However, we are transparent about their use.

Essential cookies help with tasks such as:

• Maintaining your session while you navigate between pages
• Remembering items you have added to your cart or order
• Ensuring secure areas of the website function correctly
• Enabling load balancing and security features

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. These cookies help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and where visitors come from. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our website. They enable us to personalize our content for you, remember your preferences (such as your language choice, region, or saved favorites), and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these functional services may not work properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting 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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing cookies, which may collect data about your visits to our website and other websites in order to provide you with relevant advertisements when you visit other websites across the internet.
