We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how it is used. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and store your personal information.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as 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, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our Website, a cookie file is automatically sent to and stored on your device by your web browser.

Cookies can be either:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you are browsing.
