Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 4, 2026

Important Notice: This Cookie Policy explains how Cafe Rio and its website caferiomeal.click use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. Please read this policy carefully to understand what cookies we use and how you can manage your preferences.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy describes how we collect, use, and manage cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website located at caferiomeal.click. By using our website, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

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 handle your personal information. Together, these documents form our complete approach to data privacy and transparency.

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of our website, including visitors, customers, and anyone who interacts with our online food services. As a business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and relevant provisions of the FTC Act governing consumer protection and transparency.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites function more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect analytical or behavioral information about how visitors interact with websites.

Cookies are stored in your web browser and are sent back to the originating website (or to another website that recognizes them) each time you visit. Cookies serve many different purposes, including:

Remembering your preferences and settings so you do not have to re-enter them each visit
Recognizing you when you return to our website
Helping us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
Enabling us to show you relevant advertising based on your interests
Ensuring the security and functionality of our website

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, session storage, and tracking pixels. For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

2.1 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate through the website — for example, keeping items in your shopping cart or keeping you logged in during a single visit.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (defined by the cookie's expiration date) or until you manually delete them. These cookies are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits, recognize you as a returning visitor, and deliver consistent personalized experiences.

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Cafe Rio (i.e., by caferiomeal.click) when you visit our website. These cookies are only accessible by us and are used to improve your experience on our site.

Third-party cookies are set by domains other than caferiomeal.click. These are typically placed by our trusted partners, such as analytics providers (Google Analytics), advertising networks (Google Ads), and social media platforms (Facebook/Meta). Third parties may use these cookies to track your activity across multiple websites over time.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our website into four main types:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as security, network management, accessibility, and basic navigation. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate correctly, and certain services you have requested — such as placing a food order or logging into your account — cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. You may be able to disable them through your browser settings, but doing so will significantly impact how the website works.

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies help us measure website performance, track popular pages, identify technical issues, and understand user behavior patterns so we can continuously improve our website and food ordering experience.

We use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other websites they used prior to coming to our site. We use this information solely to improve our website and services. Google Analytics does not collect personally identifiable information in isolation.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or login credentials) and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your food preferences, saved delivery addresses, or customized menu selections. The information these cookies collect does not track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant and tailored to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads and Facebook/Meta with the website operator's permission.

These cookies may track your browsing habits across different websites and build a profile of your interests. This does not directly store personal information but is based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

7. Your Privacy Rights Under US Law

As a business operating in the United States, we respect and uphold applicable federal and state privacy rights. Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding cookies and personal data collected through them:

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked.
