We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. As a food service 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 business practices.

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 their websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized experiences.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each cookie contains a small amount of information, such as a unique identifier, the website name, and some digits and numbers. This information allows the website to recognize your device the next time you visit.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Cafe Rio) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit cafexrio.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie locally on your device. On subsequent visits to our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, which allows us to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions from previous visits.

Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted from your device when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small electronic files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to count users who have visited certain pages or opened emails.
• Local Storage: A technology similar to cookies that stores data locally in your browser, but with a larger storage capacity and no expiration date unless explicitly deleted.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device settings and configuration to create a unique identifier for your device.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

Cafe Rio uses cookies for several important purposes:

• To ensure our website functions properly and securely
• To remember your preferences and settings
• To understand how visitors use our website and improve their experience
• To deliver relevant content, including menu updates, promotions, and special offers
• To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
• To enable social media integrations and sharing features
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of service

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on cafexrio.rest into four main types:

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, we do not require your consent to place them on your device.

4.2 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 how visitors navigate our site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze website usage data. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. This information is processed to compile statistical reports on website activity.

4.3 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 use on our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Functional cookies remember your choices and preferences, such as your language preference, location, or whether you have previously visited our website, so we can provide you with a more personalized experience.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

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

We use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing cookies to measure the effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns and to serve relevant ads to users who have previously visited our website.

8.1 If You Disable Essential Cookies
