Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 19, 2026
1. About This Cookie Policy
Costa Vida ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy applies to all pages hosted on vidacosta.click and describes what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are available on our website. By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that cookies may be placed on your device as described in this policy. Where required by applicable law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. We encourage you to review this page periodically. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information to website operators.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Costa Vida) are called "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 — for example, advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. The next time you visit our site from the same device, the browser checks whether it has a cookie that is relevant to the site and sends the information contained in that cookie back to the site. The website then knows that you have visited before and in some cases tailors what it presents to you accordingly.
Cookies may store a range of information, including the pages you visit on our website, how long you spend on each page, links you click, your general geographic location, the device and browser you use, and your preferences and settings. Some cookies collect information that is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally. Other cookies may be linked to your personal information.
2.2 Cookie Duration
Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies," meaning they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are "persistent cookies," meaning they survive after your browser is closed and can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the internet again.
2.3 Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to track and store information about your use of our website:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed specific actions.
- Local Storage: A web storage technology that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, persisting even after the browser window is closed.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but only lasts for the duration of the browser session.
- JavaScript: Code that can collect information about your browser and device.
For simplicity, all such technologies are referred to collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Understanding these categories will help you make informed decisions about your cookie preferences.
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. These cookies may remember your preferences, such as your location, language, or font size.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Under the CCPA/CPRA, sharing data via advertising cookies may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, and California residents have the right to opt out of such activities.
