Last Updated: June 14, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to all pages and services available through tastycaferio.click and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Together, these documents explain our approach to your data and your rights as a user.

We operate in the United States and 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 regarding fair and transparent 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 owners to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, items in a shopping cart, or the pages you have viewed. This information helps us deliver a more personalized and seamless experience each time you return to our site.

Cookies are generally not used to identify you personally. Instead, they recognize the browser or device you are using. However, when combined with other information we hold about you, cookies can sometimes be used to identify you as an individual.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit tastycaferio.click for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or session information.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party organizations such as advertising networks or analytics providers (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types may be present on our website.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use the following technologies that function in a similar way:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page was accessed or an email was opened.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device without an expiration date.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when the browser session ends.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that enable third-party services, such as analytics or advertising platforms, to collect data about your browsing behavior.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on tastycaferio.click into the following types:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are essential to the website's operation, they do not require your consent. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but please be aware that some parts of the site will not work as a result.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

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

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics collects data about your use of our website, including the pages you visit, the links you click, the time you spend on each page, and general geographic information. This data helps us understand how our website is performing and how we can improve the user experience for our visitors.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They 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 services may not function properly.

Examples of functionality supported by these cookies include remembering your language preferences, your location for displaying relevant restaurant or menu information, and your preferences for how our site is displayed.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and other digital marketing platforms. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. You may still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests.
