Cookie Policy
Effective Date: June 24, 2026 | Last Updated: June 24, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (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 and remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences, settings, and browsing behavior.
Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and to deliver a more personalized experience to users. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been opened or clicked.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Temporary data stored in your browser that is cleared when you close the browser tab or window.
- Fingerprinting: Techniques that collect information about your browser and device configuration to identify your device across sessions.
2. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit costavidagrill.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or activity.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Third-party cookies are typically used for analytics, advertising, and social media integration purposes.
Cookies can also be categorized by their lifespan:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browser session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time defined by the cookie's expiration date, or until you manually delete them. They are reactivated each time you visit the website that created them.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the performance and usability of our site.
