1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio's Cookie Policy. Cafe Rio ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company") operates the website located at caferio-fresh.rest (the "Website"). This Cookie Policy is designed to provide you with clear and comprehensive information about how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit, browse, or interact with our Website.

We are committed to transparency and to protecting your privacy in accordance with applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act). If you are a California resident, you have additional rights regarding your personal information, including data collected through cookies.

Please read this Cookie Policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service to fully understand how we collect, use, and protect your data. If you have any questions, you may contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, preferences, and activity.

Cookies serve many different purposes. Some cookies are essential for the website to function properly, while others help website owners understand how visitors interact with their content, improve user experience, or display relevant advertising. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but the information they collect may be combined with other data that we or third parties hold about you.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit caferio-fresh.rest for the first time, your browser receives one or more cookies from our server or from third-party servers integrated into our Website. Each time you return to our Website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your browser and recall your preferences or session information.

Cookies can be classified based on their lifespan and their origin:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during a single browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time (defined by their expiration date) or until you manually delete them.
  • First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by caferio-fresh.rest and are used to enhance your experience on our Website.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external services or platforms (such as Google Analytics or advertising networks) that we integrate into our Website.

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 track whether a page was visited or an email was opened.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store larger amounts of data on your device compared to standard cookies.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small code snippets embedded in our Website that enable tracking and analytics functionality.
  • Device Fingerprinting: A method of collecting device-specific attributes (such as browser type, operating system, and screen resolution) to identify a device across sessions.

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

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our Website. Without them, certain features — such as navigating between pages, adding items to your order, logging into your account, or completing a reservation — would not be possible. Essential cookies do not require your consent under most privacy frameworks, as they are necessary to provide the service you have requested.

These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and cannot be used to track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.2 Functional / Preference Cookies

Functional cookies enable our Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred location, language settings, or saved menu preferences.

4.3 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve the structure, content, and overall performance of caferio-fresh.rest. These cookies tell us which pages are visited most frequently, how users navigate through the site, and whether they encounter any error messages.

6. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Under United States law, particularly the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected about them, including data gathered through cookies. The CCPA also grants California residents the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.

For all other users in the United States, our use of cookies is governed by our Privacy Policy and the principles established under the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), which requires us to engage in fair and transparent data practices.

We categorize our legal basis for cookie use as follows:

  • Essential Cookies: Used based on legitimate interest and operational necessity. No consent is required.
  • Functional Cookies: Used based on your implied consent when you continue to use our Website with your preferences applied.
  • Analytics Cookies: Used based on your consent, obtained through our cookie consent banner.
  • Advertising Cookies: Used based on your explicit consent. California residents may opt out of the sharing of personal information for targeted advertising purposes.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect the functionality and your overall experience on caferio-fresh.rest. Below is a summary of potential impacts:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies The Website may not function correctly. Core features such as placing orders, logging into your account, or maintaining a shopping cart may become unavailable. We strongly recommend keeping essential cookies enabled.
Functional Cookies Your saved preferences (such as preferred location or language) will not be remembered between visits, requiring you to re-enter information each time.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to gather data about how you use our Website, which may limit our ability to improve our services and your browsing experience over time.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will no longer be tailored to your interests. You may see more generic or less relevant ads across the web. Disabling these cookies does not prevent advertising; it simply makes ads less personalized.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, our Website does not currently alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT signals. However, we respect your privacy and encourage you to use the opt-out tools described in Section 7 above.
