Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to freshcaferio.click, the official website of Cafe Rio. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

By accessing or using our website at freshcaferio.click, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to the use of cookies as described here, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools listed in this policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Cafe Rio) 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 — for example, advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies may store a range of information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address, if you have provided that to us). However, much of the information stored in cookies is non-personally identifiable.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. The next time you visit the site using the same device, the browser checks to see if it has a cookie that is relevant to the site. If it does, the browser sends the information in the cookie back to the site. This allows the website to remember your preferences, log-in status, shopping cart items, and other information from your previous visit.

Cookies are not viruses or harmful programs. They cannot execute code, deliver malware, or access files on your device. They are simply small text files used to store specific information about your browsing session or preferences.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings to identify your device.

All references to "cookies" in this policy include these similar tracking technologies unless otherwise specified.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

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

They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These 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 and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions, sessions, and behavior on the website. The data collected is used solely for improving the website experience.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the 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 or region preferences
  • Personalize content based on your previous visits
  • Remember your preferred location for menu and ordering information
  • Enable social media sharing features
  • Store your preferred settings such as font size or color scheme

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

We use Google Ads and related advertising platforms to promote Cafe Rio to users who may be interested in our food and services. These advertising cookies allow us to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and serve personalized ads.
