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. These files are created by the website's server and sent to your browser, which then stores them locally on your device. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends these cookies back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past activity.

Cookies serve a variety of purposes, from helping websites function correctly to gathering analytical data about how users interact with a site. They are an essential part of how the modern internet works and are used by virtually every website you visit.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit cafessrio.click, our web server sends one or more cookies to your browser. These cookies may contain a unique identifier, your preferences, login status, or other relevant data. On subsequent visits, your browser transmits these cookies back to our server, which allows us to personalize your experience, remember your preferences, and analyze how you navigate our website.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you are actively using our website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They allow our website to recognize you on return visits.

Cookies can also be classified based on their origin:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Cafe Rio's website (cafessrio.click) and are used for core website functionality.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services and partners, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms, that operate on our website.
