1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how Cafe Rio uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website caferiomexican.click (the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences regarding their use.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in compliance with applicable United States laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

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. These files are created by the website's server and stored in your web browser. Cookies allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

Cookies serve many purposes — they can make a website work more efficiently, provide useful features and functionality, and allow website owners to understand how visitors interact with their site. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but the information they collect may be linked to personal data that you have provided or that we have collected from other sources.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit caferiomexican.click, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or previous interactions.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
• Local Storage: A web storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally in your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
• 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.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings to create a unique identifier.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a specific purpose, as outlined below:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

Essential cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features and services on our website would not function properly. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of our online services, they do not require your consent under applicable laws. However, we still want to be transparent about their use.

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve the structure, content, and functionality of our website. These cookies track things such as how long you spend on a page, which pages you visit, and any error messages you encounter.

We primarily use Google Analytics to gather this data. The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers in the United States.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of our website.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are 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 our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and serve targeted advertising to users who have previously visited our website.
