2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. These files are placed by the website you visit or by third-party services operating on that website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.
When you visit riosscafe.click, our web server may send a cookie to your browser, which then stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends that cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This linking helps us provide you with a more personalized and relevant experience on our website.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When a cookie is set, it is assigned a name and a value. The value may contain a unique identifier that allows the website to recognize you as a specific visitor. The cookie is stored on your browser with an expiry date — some cookies expire when you close your browser (session cookies), while others persist on your device for a longer period (persistent cookies).
Cookies can be classified based on who places them:
- First-party cookies: These are cookies set by the website you are visiting directly, in this case, riosscafe.click. They are primarily used to improve your experience on our site.
- Third-party cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than the website you are visiting. For example, when we use Google Analytics or advertising networks, those services may place cookies on your device through our website.
