Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 28, 2026
1. 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 stored in your web browser and allow websites to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide a more personalized and seamless browsing experience.
Cookies are widely used by website owners and operators to make their websites work efficiently, to gather analytical data about user behavior, and to deliver relevant advertising content. Each cookie typically contains the following information:
- The name of the cookie
- A unique identifier (a randomly generated number)
- The domain name of the website that set the cookie
- An expiration date, after which the cookie is automatically deleted
When you visit cafes-rios.world, our servers may automatically receive and record certain information from your browser or device, including your IP address, browser type and language, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit. Cookies help us associate this information with your specific device and browser session.
2. How Do Cookies Work?
When you first visit our website, your browser sends a request to our server. Our server responds by delivering the webpage content along with one or more cookies, which your browser stores locally on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser automatically sends the stored cookies back to our server, enabling the website to recognize you and recall relevant information about your previous interactions.
Cookies can be set by the website you are directly visiting — these are known as first-party cookies. They can also be set by third-party services integrated into our website, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks — these are known as third-party cookies. Both types serve distinct purposes and have different privacy implications, all of which are explained in detail throughout this policy.
3. Types of Cookies We Use

The data collected through analytical cookies includes metrics such as the number of visitors, bounce rates, traffic sources, pages viewed, and the duration of visits. This information is aggregated and does not identify any individual user personally.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable 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.

Advertising cookies are typically set by third-party advertising networks, including Google Ads.
