Cookie Policy
Last Updated: June 12, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Costa Vida ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at fresh-costavida.click and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how it is used. Please read this policy carefully. If you have any questions, you can contact us at [email protected].
This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are also available on our website.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (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, to provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Costa Vida) 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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit fresh-costavida.click for the first time, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which 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 typically contain the following information:
- The name of the server that placed the cookie
- A unique identifier (usually a randomly generated number)
- The expiry date of the cookie
- Information specific to the purpose of the cookie (such as language preferences or items in a shopping cart)
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
- Local Storage: A feature in your web browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but the data is only stored for the duration of your browsing session and is deleted when you close your browser.
- JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of JavaScript code embedded in our web pages that collect information about how you interact with our website.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on fresh-costavida.click:
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse our website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain services you have requested — such as remembering your login or items in an online order — cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website to you, they cannot be refused. You can block or delete them in your browser settings, but this will prevent certain features from functioning properly.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages visitors go to most often, how long they spend on each page, and whether they receive error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data to improve how our website works and to enhance the visitor experience. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or other customizable elements) and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may be used to remember your location so we can show you the nearest Costa Vida restaurant. The information collected by these cookies may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements and promotional content that is more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. These cookies may track your browsing activity across other websites.
