1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website located at caferio-food.click. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of our website, including visitors who browse our pages, place online food orders, make reservations, or interact with any of our digital services. We encourage you to read this policy carefully so that you understand your rights and choices regarding cookies.

For any questions or concerns about this Cookie Policy, you may contact us at:

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

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting — these 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 interactive content, advertising, and analytics.

Cookies serve many different functions:

  • Session Management: Cookies help maintain your session as you navigate through our website, keeping you logged in and remembering items in your shopping cart or food order.
  • Personalization: Cookies allow us to remember your preferences and settings so we can deliver a more personalized experience on future visits.
  • Tracking and Analytics: Cookies help us understand how you interact with our website, which pages are most popular, where visitors come from, and how long they stay.
  • Advertising: Cookies allow us and our advertising partners to display relevant advertisements based on your browsing behavior and interests.

3. How Cookies Work

When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded onto your device. The next time you visit our website from the same device, we (or our third-party partners) can recognize the cookie and use it to recall your preferences or browsing history.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the domain that set the cookie
  • The duration or expiration date of the cookie
  • A unique identifier (usually a randomly generated number)
  • Any values or data associated with the cookie

Most cookies do not collect personally identifiable information such as your name or address. Instead, they typically collect more general information such as your device type, browser type, geographic region, and how you use our website.

Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." 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.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

Cafe Rio uses the following categories of cookies on our website:

4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access.

This information helps us improve the way our website works and make it more user-friendly. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors engage with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data about your visit, including your IP address (anonymized), browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring website. This data is used to compile statistical reports about website activity.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, location, login details, and display settings. These cookies provide enhanced, more personalized features and may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Functional cookies help us:

  • Remember your food order preferences and dietary settings
  • Save your delivery address for faster checkout
  • Remember your preferred language or regional settings
  • Provide enhanced functionality such as live chat or interactive maps

4.4 Advertising and Marketing 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. These cookies are usually placed by our advertising partners with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or reject cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect the functionality and performance of our website. Below is a summary of the potential impact of disabling each type of cookie:

8.1 Disabling Essential Cookies

If you disable essential cookies, you will likely experience significant disruptions when using our website, including:

  • Inability to add items to your food order cart
  • Inability to log in to your account or complete a checkout
  • Increased security risks due to the absence of CSRF protection
  • Loss of session data as you navigate between pages

8.2 Disabling Analytics Cookies

If you disable analytics cookies, we will not be able to collect data about how you use our website. This means we may have reduced ability to identify and fix problems that affect your experience. Your browsing will not be directly affected, but our ability to improve the website over time may be limited.

8.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies

If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Your opt-out from personalized advertising does not remove advertisements entirely — it simply means the advertisements you see will not be tailored to your browsing behavior.

9. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some web browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the opt-out methods described in Section 7 of this policy to manage your tracking preferences.
