Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 22, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio ("we," "our," or "us"). This Cookie Policy explains how Cafe Rio uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, food-caferio.top (the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and what rights you have to control their use.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. By using our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or refrain from using our Website, as described in detail below.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our Website. Together, these documents explain how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable U.S. federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, and other applicable consumer protection regulations.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser's designated folder and contain information about your interactions with the website. Cookies allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

Cookies were originally designed to solve the problem of "statelessness" in web browsing — since the HTTP protocol does not inherently remember who you are between page visits, cookies provide a mechanism to maintain continuity across your session and future visits.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and email open rates.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Data stored temporarily for the duration of your browsing session, which is deleted when you close your browser.
• JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect behavioral data about how users interact with our Website.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that identifies your device based on its unique configuration, including browser type, screen resolution, and installed plugins.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies."

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit food-caferio.top for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. The next time you visit our Website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and recall your preferences or previous interactions.

Cookies can be set either by Cafe Rio directly (called "first-party cookies") or by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms (called "third-party cookies"). First-party cookies are generally used to improve your user experience on our specific website, while third-party cookies may track your activity across multiple websites.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types, each serving a different purpose:

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as "strictly necessary" cookies) are fundamental to the operation of our Website. Without these cookies, certain features of our Website may not function correctly. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without significantly impairing your ability to use our Website.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our Website include:

• Maintaining your session when browsing between pages
• Remembering items in your online order or reservation requests
• Ensuring the security and integrity of your connection
• Remembering your cookie consent preferences
• Enabling you to log in to your account (if applicable)

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregated form. This data allows us to improve our Website's performance, content, and user experience. These cookies track information such as the number of visitors, which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and where visitors come from.

We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used web analytics services, to collect this information. Google Analytics uses cookies to generate statistical reports about website traffic and usage patterns.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you have made in the past, such as your language preferences, location settings, or previously viewed content. These cookies enable us to provide a more personalized experience. While not strictly essential, disabling these cookies may result in reduced functionality and a less tailored experience.

Examples include remembering your preferred location for restaurant lookups, your saved menu favorites, or your preferred communication settings.

4.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called "targeting" or "marketing" cookies) are used to track your browsing habits across our Website and potentially across other websites in order to show you relevant advertisements. These cookies collect information about your interests and may be used by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and display targeted ads on other websites you visit.

We use Google Ads cookies to measure the effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns and to show you relevant ads related to Cafe Rio's food offerings. We may also integrate with social media advertising platforms.

5. Detailed Cookie Table

The following table provides specific information about the cookies currently in use on food-caferio.top:

Note: This table is subject to change as we update our Website and integrate new technologies. We will update this Cookie Policy accordingly when changes occur.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some cookies on our Website are placed by third-party services that we use to enhance our Website's functionality and marketing efforts. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review those policies independently. We do not control the cookies set by third parties.

The primary third-party services we use that may place cookies on your device include:

• Google LLC: We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and Google Ads to run advertising campaigns. Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
• Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook): We may use Facebook Pixel to track conversions from Facebook Ads and to optimize advertising. Facebook's cookie policy is available at https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/.

7. How to Manage and Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or refuse cookies (except for essential cookies, which are required for the Website to function). There are several ways you can manage your cookie preferences:

7.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types of cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. The exact steps to manage cookies vary depending on your browser:

• Android: Go to Settings → Google → Ads to opt out of personalized ads.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

The impact of disabling cookies depends on the type of cookie you disable:

8.1 Impact of Disabling Essential Cookies

If you disable essential cookies, significant portions of our Website may stop working correctly. You may experience the following issues:

• Inability to complete online orders or reservations
• Loss of items in your cart when navigating between pages
• Inability to log in to your account
• Security vulnerabilities due to disabled CSRF protection
• Repeated cookie consent prompts on every page

We strongly recommend that you keep essential cookies enabled to ensure a functional and secure browsing experience.

8.2 Impact of Disabling Analytics Cookies

Disabling analytics cookies will prevent us from collecting data about your visit. This will not significantly affect your ability to use our Website, but it will limit our ability to understand how visitors use our site and make improvements based on that data.

8.3 Impact of Disabling Functional Cookies

If you disable functional cookies, some personalization features may not work. For example, your location preferences, saved favorites, or display settings may not be remembered between visits, requiring you to re-enter these preferences each time.

8.4 Impact of Disabling Advertising Cookies

Disabling advertising cookies will not prevent you from seeing advertisements, but it will mean that the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests. You will still see ads; they simply will not be targeted based on your browsing history or preferences.

9. Your Rights Under U.S. Privacy Laws

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information collected through cookies:

9.1 California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) grants you the following rights:

• Right to Know: You have the right to request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal data we collect through cookies.

10. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that they not track your browsing activity. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our Website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie management tools described in Section 7 to control tracking on our Website.

11. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or changes to our business practices. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, where required by law, notify you through a prominent notice on our Website or by other means.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of food-caferio.top after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
