Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 22, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Costa Vida. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website located at costvida.click, and the choices you have regarding their use. This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who interact with our website.

Costa Vida operates in the United States food and restaurant industry. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and ensuring that your privacy is respected in accordance with applicable U.S. laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and fair business practices.

By accessing and using costvida.click, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the terms set forth in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, please refer to the section on managing cookies below to adjust your preferences.

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, to provide a better user experience, and to gather reporting information about website usage.

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting — these are known as 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.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit costvida.click, our web server sends a small file to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this file back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences and actions over time.

Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address) — but only if you provide this information to us and you agree to our storing it in a cookie. Most cookies, however, collect general information such as how users arrive at and use our website, and the region of the country or world the user is in.

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your movements from page to page so you are not asked for the same information you have already provided during the visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sessions. They have an expiration date set by the website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Costa Vida uses several categories of cookies on costvida.click. These are outlined below:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse our website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas or using our online ordering system. Without these cookies, certain services or features cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver our website services, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor personally. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data only to improve how our website works.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with our website. Google Analytics uses its own cookies to track visitor interactions. For more information on how Google uses this data, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your location, language preferences, or any customizations you make to pages) and provide enhanced, personalized features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Examples of functional cookie use on our food website include remembering your preferred restaurant location, your order history preferences, and any dietary filters you have applied.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are 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 our advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We may use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and serve relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited our website. We may also use Meta (Facebook) Pixel for similar advertising purposes.

6. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except for strictly necessary cookies which are required for the website to function). You can exercise your cookie preferences in several ways:

6.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types of cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. Below are links to the cookie management instructions for the most popular browsers:

Please note that if you use your browser settings to block all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, you may not be able to access all or parts of our website, and some features may not function properly.

6.2 Opt-Out Tools for Analytics Cookies

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

This add-on prevents Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about your visit activity.

6.3 Opt-Out Tools for Advertising Cookies

For interest-based advertising opt-outs, you can use the following resources:

6.4 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals because there is no consistent industry standard for how to respond to such signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools described above to manage your tracking preferences.

6.5 Mobile Device Settings

If you are accessing our website through a mobile device, you can manage cookie preferences through your mobile browser settings. Additionally, on iOS and Android devices, you can manage advertising identifiers through your device's privacy settings.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

It is important to understand that disabling certain types of cookies may impact your experience on costvida.click. Below is a summary of what may happen when specific cookie categories are disabled:

Cookie Type Impact If Disabled
Essential / Strictly Necessary The website may not function properly. You may not be able to place orders, access secure areas, or use key features of the site. We strongly recommend keeping these cookies enabled.
Analytics We will not be able to collect data about how you use our website, which means we cannot improve your browsing experience based on aggregated usage data. Your browsing experience will remain largely unaffected.
Functional Your preferences (such as saved restaurant location, dietary preferences, and cart contents) will not be remembered between sessions. You may need to re-enter preferences each time you visit.
Advertising You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not mean you will see fewer ads — just less personalized ones.

8. California Privacy Rights
