Last Updated: July 8, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to 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, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences when you visit caferio-newhot.click.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and the way we collect and process your personal information. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser and are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to any other website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies serve a variety of functions. Some cookies are strictly necessary for a website to function properly, while others help website owners understand how users interact with their site, remember user preferences, or deliver targeted advertising. Cookies generally do not contain any information that personally identifies a user; however, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded onto your device. Each time you revisit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit. This process enables us to deliver a more personalized and efficient browsing experience.
Cookies can be classified in two main ways:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session state as you navigate from page to page within our website.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after your browser is closed, until they expire or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.
Cookies can also be classified by their origin:
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Cafe Rio and are used to recognize your device on return visits to our website.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a domain other than our website, typically by our service providers and advertising partners, such as Google and Facebook.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Cafe Rio uses several categories of cookies on our website. Below is a description of each category and the purpose they serve.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website would not function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and completing online orders for our food services. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information, and they cannot be disabled without significantly affecting your experience on our website.
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 our website. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to analyze how users interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your usage of our website, including your IP address, browser type, referring website, pages visited, and the duration of your visit. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
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. Functional cookies allow us to remember your preferences, such as your language settings, previously selected menu items, or other customization choices. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are 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 they work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
We use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show you relevant Cafe Rio advertisements when you visit other websites across the internet.

8. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, or embedded content from other providers. Please note that this Cookie Policy applies only to our website at caferio-newhot.click. When you visit third-party websites by following a link from our website, those websites may use their own cookies. We do not have control over these third-party cookies and are not responsible for their use. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party websites you visit.
Our website may include social media features such as the Facebook Like button or Twitter share buttons. These features may collect your IP address, track which page you are visiting on our website, and set cookies to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them.
9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be 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 cookie management tools described in Section 6 of this policy to control how your information is collected and used on our website.

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the use of cookies or any other means.
