This guide covers costavida and costavidausa.com. For data handling details, see the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. When you browse menu pages on costavidausa.com, for example, a cookie can remember that you stayed on the same section while images load, so the page behaves in a steady way.
Similar technologies, such as local storage, serve comparable functions and are covered by this policy. They do not give this site access to other files on your device. They only store small pieces of information tied to your visit, like a display choice or a form field you already filled in.
Why we use cookies
Cookies support basic site functionality, such as remembering form state, and help measure traffic so we can understand which pages are used. If you start a message on the contact page and the page reloads, an essential cookie can keep what you typed from disappearing.
We use aggregated visit counts to see which parts of this Costa Vida guide are helpful — menu explanations, locations guidance, or catering notes — and to fix pages that load poorly. They are not used to build advertising profiles on this site. We do not sell cookie data and do not use cookies to follow you across other websites with ads.
This policy covers the informational Costa Vida guide at costavidausa.com — menu, locations, catering, and visit planning pages.
Simple summary
- Essential cookies keep the pages working.
- Analytics cookies count visits in aggregate.
- Preference cookies remember display choices.
- No advertising profiles are built on this site.
Categories of cookies used on this site
The specific cookies in use may change as the site is updated. When we add a new feature or replace a measurement tool, the list below stays the same in structure, even if the technical names change.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off through the site. They handle security, load balancing, and remembering what you entered in a form during a single visit. Without them, pages may sign you out of nothing, lose form text, or fail to load correctly.
Control: always on while you use costavidausa.com. Blocking them in the browser may break parts of the site.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies collect aggregated data about how visitors use the site. They tell us which Costa Vida topics get the most visits and where visitors leave a page, without identifying you by name. We review totals and trends, not individual browsing histories.
Control: you can block them in your browser. The site will still work.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as language or display settings. On costavidausa.com this can mean keeping a layout choice or a dismissed notice from reappearing on every page during your visit.
Control: optional. Clearing them resets the site to default display.
How long they stay
Some cookies expire when you close the browser. Others stay for a set period so your preferences are still there on your next visit. You can delete stored cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services used on the site, such as analytics providers. For example, if we use a traffic measurement service to count visits to menu or locations pages, that provider may set its own cookie to tell repeat visits apart from new ones.
These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we recommend reviewing. We do not control the cookies set by third parties, and we cannot change their retention rules from this site. If you block third-party cookies in your browser, our own pages will still open and remain readable.

Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely or to be notified when a cookie is set. Blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works.
Delete cookies already stored
Open your browser settings, find privacy or history, and choose to clear cookies for costavidausa.com. After clearing, preference choices return to defaults. You will not lose any account because this informational guide does not run visitor accounts.
Block new cookies
Most browsers offer a setting to block all cookies or only third-party cookies. You can also ask the browser to notify you each time a site tries to set one. If the menu or contact pages behave oddly after blocking, allow essential cookies for this site and try again.
Where to find instructions
Instructions for managing cookies are available in your browser's help documentation. Search the help pages for your browser name plus managing cookies. Steps differ slightly between desktop and mobile, but every major browser includes a cookies section under privacy or settings.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in the cookies used or in applicable law. The effective date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
If we replace an analytics tool or adjust which preferences the site remembers, we will revise the categories described above. For larger changes we will update the date so returning readers can see that the text changed. Continued use of costavidausa.com after an update means the revised policy applies to later visits.
Tip: if you arrived here from a search for costa vida or costavida policy pages, bookmark the Privacy Policy alongside this page — the two documents are meant to be read together.

Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact page. Tell us which page you visited and what your browser showed, and we will clarify how cookies apply there.
