Last Updated: July 3, 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 control and manage them.

This policy applies to the website located at mexcaferio.click and all associated pages and subdomains operated by Cafe Rio. Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding cookies and how they affect your browsing experience.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

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. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit mexcaferio.click for the first time, our web server sends a small file to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this file back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks ("third-party cookies").

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during a single browsing session. They are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time (specified in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

2.3 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies such as:

  • Web Beacons: Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and measure the effectiveness of our communications.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • JavaScript: Small code snippets that run in your browser to collect information about your interactions with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each category and why we use them.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are strictly necessary to provide the core functionality of our website. Under applicable United States laws and regulations, including the FTC Act's consumer protection provisions, these cookies do not require your prior consent as they are technically necessary for service delivery.

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 to 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.

We use Google Analytics to collect data about how users interact with our website. This helps us improve our website content, structure, and user experience. 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.

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. They allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference, region, or other customizable elements) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our website may be less personalized.

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 store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking and similar tools to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, but you will still see advertisements.

In compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have additional rights regarding the use of their personal information for targeted advertising purposes.
