Effective Date: June 24, 2026 | Last Updated: June 24, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cafe Rio's Cookie Policy. This document is designed to provide you with clear, transparent, and comprehensive information about how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website located at mealcaferio.click.

When you visit our website to browse our menu, place an order, or learn more about our food offerings, our website may place small data files called "cookies" on your device. These cookies help us operate the website efficiently, improve your browsing experience, and provide you with relevant content and advertising.

By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge and consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, you have several options available to you, which are outlined in detail in the sections below.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website at mealcaferio.click.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. These files contain information that is sent back to the website's server each time your browser requests a page from that server.

Cookies were originally designed to help websites remember information about your visit, such as items in a shopping cart or your login credentials. Over time, their use has expanded significantly. Today, cookies serve a wide range of purposes, from ensuring a website functions correctly to tracking your behavior across multiple websites for advertising purposes.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit mealcaferio.click, our web 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 cookie back to our server, which allows the server to identify your browser and remember information from your previous visit.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by other companies whose services are integrated into the website, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (known as "third-party cookies").

2.2 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small, invisible graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether you have visited a particular page or opened an email.
  • Local Storage: A web storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally on your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that holds data only for the duration of your browsing session and is cleared when you close your browser.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about your interactions with our website.
  • Device Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's settings and configurations to identify and track your device.

Throughout this policy, references to "cookies" include all of these similar tracking technologies unless otherwise specified.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on mealcaferio.click into four main types based on their purpose:

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our website, such as the online ordering system, shopping cart functionality, and secure login, would not work. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the services you have requested, they cannot be disabled.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are not used for marketing purposes. They include cookies that:

  • Remember items you have added to your online food order or shopping cart
  • Keep you logged in to your account as you navigate between pages
  • Ensure secure connections when you submit personal or payment information
  • Remember your cookie consent preferences
  • Prevent fraudulent activity and enhance website security

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. The data collected helps us identify which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, where visitors come from, and what issues they encounter. This information allows us to continually improve our website's performance and user experience.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose, which is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information. The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our website. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, but they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Functional cookies on our website may be used to:

  • Remember your preferred language, region, or location for displaying relevant menu items and restaurant locations
  • Remember your food preferences and dietary restrictions
  • Save your login details so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit
  • Remember your preferred ordering method (delivery, pickup, dine-in)
  • Enable social media sharing functionality
  • Play embedded video content such as recipe videos or restaurant tours

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They also limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use advertising cookies from Google Ads and other advertising platforms to display targeted advertisements to you on other websites based on your visit to mealcaferio.click. These cookies may track your browsing habits across different websites.

Essential Cookies Cannot be disabled. Disabling these cookies would prevent the website from functioning properly. Core features such as online ordering, login, and secure payment processing would be unavailable.

Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Your advertising experience will be based on general content rather than your browsing history and preferences.
