We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use.

2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting and analytical information.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and delivered to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie on your device, and the next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you land on a page of our website, the server may send a cookie to your browser. Your browser will store this cookie in a designated folder on your device. Each time you navigate to a new page on our website, or return to our website in a future session, your browser will retrieve the stored cookie and send it back to the web server, which uses the information to provide you with a consistent and personalized browsing experience.
Cookies generally contain the following information:
- The name of the cookie
- The value of the cookie (the data stored)
- The domain the cookie belongs to
- The path on the domain the cookie applies to
- An expiration date or lifetime
- Security flags (such as whether it should only be sent over HTTPS)
2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by our website (cafenrio.click) and can only be read by our website. They are typically used to remember your preferences and improve your experience.
Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than our website. These are typically placed by third-party services integrated into our website, such as analytics providers (Google Analytics), advertising networks (Google Ads), or social media platforms (Facebook/Meta). Third-party companies may use these cookies to track your online activity across different websites.
2.3 Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser and do not leave any information on your device after your session ends.
Persistent cookies 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.
3. Types of Cookies We Use

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 integrated into our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly, and your browsing experience 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.
