Welcome to Costa Vida ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website vidacosta.rest, the types of cookies we deploy, and the choices you have regarding their use. This policy is intended to provide you with clear and transparent information in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

As a food-related business operating in the United States, Costa Vida is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled responsibly.

2. 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. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and generate useful analytical information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally. Each time you return to the website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or items in a shopping cart.

Cookies can be:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They do not collect information from your device and expire at the end of your browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.
• First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, vidacosta.rest).
• Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, typically by third-party service providers such as analytics platforms and advertising networks.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and JavaScript tags. For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
