1. Introduction

Welcome to Costa Vida's Cookie Policy. This document explains how Costa Vida ("we," "us," or "our"), operating the website vida-costas.digital, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website, place orders online, or interact with our digital services.

We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both available on our website.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

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 to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you revisit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when your browser session ends.
• JavaScript Tags: Small scripts that collect data about how you interact with our website.

Cookies can be classified by their origin (first-party vs. third-party), their duration (session vs. persistent), and their purpose (essential, functional, analytics, or advertising).

3. How Cookies Work on Our Website

When you visit vida-costas.digital, our server may automatically place cookies on your device. Some cookies are placed directly by us (first-party cookies), while others are placed by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms (third-party cookies).

4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregated form. This data helps us improve the design, content, and performance of our site and digital ordering experience.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behavior patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies to compile reports on website traffic and user interactions. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual users.

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies may be placed by us or by our advertising partners.

We may use Google Ads and other advertising networks to serve targeted ads to users who have previously visited our website. These services use cookies to track your browsing activity across websites and build a profile of your interests.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), if you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information, which may include data collected through advertising cookies.
