Cookie Policy

Effective Date: May 20, 2026  |  Last Updated: May 20, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio (referred to as "we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at caferio-meal.click and describes how we use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar tracking technologies when you visit, browse, or interact with our online food ordering and information platform.

We are committed to transparency regarding the data we collect and how it is used. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can exercise control over them. Please read this Cookie Policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website.

This Cookie Policy is governed by applicable United States 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 guidelines on online tracking and transparency.

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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide information to website owners and operators.

Cookies serve many functions. Some cookies are essential to the technical operation of a website — without them, certain features simply would not work. Others help us understand how visitors use our site, remember your preferences, or deliver relevant advertising content. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they can be linked to personal data we hold about you.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use related technologies, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
• Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally on your device, functioning similarly to cookies.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is only retained for the duration of your browsing session and is deleted when you close your browser tab.
• JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about your interaction with our website.

Cookies can be classified as either session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can also be categorized as first-party cookies (set by us directly) or third-party cookies (set by external services operating on our website).

3. How Cookies Work on Our Website

When you visit caferio-meal.click, our web server and third-party service providers may place cookies on your device. These cookies interact with your browser to collect certain information automatically, such as:

• Your IP address and approximate geographic location
• The type of device and browser you are using
• The pages you visit and how long you spend on each page
• The links you click and the content you interact with
• Your referral source (how you arrived at our website)
• Items added to your cart or food order preferences
• Your login status and account preferences (if applicable)

This information helps us operate our website effectively, improve the food ordering experience, measure the success of our marketing campaigns, and ensure that relevant content is displayed to you.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our website into four main types:

4.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. Without them, our website cannot function properly, and services you have requested — such as browsing our menu or placing a food order — cannot be provided. Essential cookies do not require your consent under most applicable laws, though we inform you of their existence as a matter of transparency.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our site include managing your session, maintaining your shopping cart, and enabling secure connections.

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 aggregate form. They allow us to measure traffic, identify popular pages and menu items, detect errors, and optimize the overall user experience. We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used analytics platforms, to gather this information.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may remember your language preferences, your location for delivery estimates, your previously viewed menu items, or other settings you have customized. These cookies improve your experience on our site but are not strictly required for the site to operate. Disabling them may affect the level of personalization available to you.

4.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to your interests, both on our website and on third-party platforms. They track your browsing behavior across websites and help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. These cookies are typically set by advertising networks such as Google Ads. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites you visit.

5. Specific Cookies We Use

The table below provides detailed information about the specific cookies currently in use on caferio-meal.click:

Note: The cookies listed above represent those in current use. This table is updated periodically. The actual cookies present on any given page may vary depending on the features and third-party integrations active at that time.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Services

We partner with several trusted third-party service providers who may set their own cookies on your device when you visit our website. We do not have direct control over these third-party cookies. The third-party services we currently use include:

• Google LLC – For analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google Ads, Google DoubleClick). Google may use data collected through these cookies in accordance with its own privacy policy.
• Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook) – For advertising and remarketing purposes via the Facebook Pixel, allowing us to show you relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram.
• Payment Processors – If you complete a food order transaction, our payment processing partners may set cookies related to fraud prevention and transaction security.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party providers to understand how they collect and use your data. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies, not this Cookie Policy.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

• Essential Cookies Disabled: Our website may not function correctly. You may be unable to add items to your cart, complete a food order, log into your account, or access certain pages of the website.
• Functional Cookies Disabled: Your preferences and settings will not be saved between visits. You may need to re-enter delivery information, re-select your location, or re-configure display preferences each time you visit.
• Analytics Cookies Disabled: We will no longer be able to track your visit for statistical purposes. While this does not affect your ability to use the website, it limits our ability to improve our services based on user behavior data.
• Advertising Cookies Disabled: You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests since they will not be tailored based on your browsing behavior. This may result in seeing the same generic ads repeatedly.

We recommend enabling at minimum the essential and functional cookies to ensure the best possible experience when ordering food from Cafe Rio online.
