Last Updated: April 3, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website rioscafes.click, the types of cookies we deploy, and the choices available to you regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and to complying with applicable United States laws and regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and digital transparency.

By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to the use of cookies as described herein, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out through the tools provided in this document.

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 operators to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information to site owners.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember your preferences or activities over time.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you directly, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are integrated into the website ("third-party cookies").

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit rioscafes.click, your browser receives one or more cookies from our server or from third-party services embedded on our pages. Each cookie contains a unique identifier and may store data such as your session ID, language preference, or items in a shopping cart. This data is sent back to us — or to the relevant third party — each time you make a request from our website, allowing us to serve you a more personalized and efficient experience.

Cookies have a defined lifespan. Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on rioscafes.click:

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly. Because they are essential, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools, though you may configure your browser to block them (which will affect website functionality).

Essential cookies help us to:

• Maintain your session as you navigate between pages
• Remember items you have placed in your order or inquiry form
• Ensure the security of your browsing session
• Load the website correctly and prevent fraudulent activity

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics 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, how visitors move around the site, and whether users encounter error messages. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users interact with our website. The data collected includes your IP address (anonymized), browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URL. This information is processed by Google in accordance with their Privacy Policy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our 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.

Functional cookies help us to:

• Remember your language preferences
• Save your location so we can show you the nearest Cafe Rio location
• Provide embedded content such as videos and maps
• Remember your customization choices (e.g., accessibility settings)

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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 our advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads to serve targeted advertising to users who have previously visited our website. These cookies track your browsing habits across multiple sites so that advertising can be tailored to your interests.

We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.

You may use the opt-out tools listed in Section 6.2 of this policy to limit tracking by specific third-party services.
