Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, including pixels, tags and local storage, may also be used to remember preferences, support website features or collect information about website use.

2. How this website may use cookies

The Lost in Rio website provides restaurant information, menus, contact and enquiry forms, and links or facilities for table bookings and private-hire enquiries. Depending on the live website configuration, cookies or similar technologies may be used to operate the site, protect forms, remember settings, measure website use or support third-party content and booking tools.

The exact cookies and third-party tools active on the production website have not been independently confirmed for this draft. Before publication, the operator should scan the live website, including booking links, embedded content, analytics, social media integrations and plugins, and list the actual cookie names, providers, purposes, categories and durations.

3. Types of cookies

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These are required for core website functions or a service you request, such as security or remembering a privacy choice. They may be used without consent where the legal exemption applies.
  • Preference cookies: These remember settings or choices. Consent should be obtained before they are used where required by law.
  • Analytics cookies: These help the operator understand how visitors use the website. They must not be activated before valid consent where consent is required.
  • Third-party and marketing technologies: Embedded maps, social media content, external booking services or advertising tools may use their own technologies. These should be identified and controlled in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

4. Your choices

Where consent is required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies should remain inactive until you make an informed choice. A compliant consent tool should allow you to accept or reject non-essential categories and change your preferences later. Simply continuing to browse or closing a banner should not be treated as consent.

5. Managing cookies through your browser

You can usually block or delete cookies through your browser settings. The available controls vary by browser and device. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect website functions. Browser settings may not remove every type of local storage or tracking technology.

6. Third-party services

If the website links to or embeds a third-party booking, map, social media or other service, that provider may process information under its own privacy and cookie terms. The operator should identify the providers actually used and ensure that any required consent is obtained before non-essential technologies are activated.

7. Updates and contact

This policy may be updated when website features, plugins or third-party services change. For questions about cookies, contact Lost in Rio at bookings@lostinriorestaurant.co.uk.
