1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio ("we," "our," or "us"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website caferiofood.digital, and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and to providing you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your online privacy. This Cookie Policy applies to all pages and services available through caferiofood.digital.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected 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 are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies can be classified in several ways:

  • First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, caferiofood.digital).
  • Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, typically by advertising networks, analytics providers, or social media platforms.
  • Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web beacons (pixel tags): Tiny, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track visits, opens, and interactions.
  • Local storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session storage: Like local storage, but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
  • Scripts and tags: Small pieces of JavaScript code that collect information about how you interact with our website.

All references to "cookies" in this policy also apply to these similar technologies unless specifically stated otherwise.

4. Why We Use Cookies

Cafe Rio uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Ensuring the website functions correctly and securely
  • Remembering your preferences and settings
  • Analyzing how visitors use our website so we can improve it
  • Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • Delivering relevant advertisements to you on our website and third-party platforms
  • Enabling social media sharing features
  • Preventing fraudulent activity and enhancing website security

5. Types of Cookies We Use

5.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. You cannot opt out of these cookies, as the website cannot function properly without them. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is strictly necessary.

Essential cookies may be used for purposes such as:

  • Maintaining your session as you navigate through the website
  • Remembering items in your shopping cart or order form
  • Ensuring secure login and account authentication
  • Preventing cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks

5.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits, measure traffic sources, and understand which pages are most popular. This information helps us improve the performance and content of our website.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, operating system, pages visited, and time spent on the website.

5.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred language, your location, or your login details so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

5.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) cookies to track the performance of our advertising campaigns and to serve relevant ads to visitors who have previously visited our website (remarketing). We may also use Facebook Pixel and similar tools to measure the effectiveness of ads shown on social media platforms.
