Cookies Policy
Effective Date: May 29, 2025
At LaOtraMirilla LLC, we’re all about guiding you to hidden gems in Spanish-speaking countries, from secret Mayan ruins to vibrant merengue festivals. To make your experience on our website as smooth as a kayak ride through Samaná’s mangroves, we use cookies—those little bits of code that help our site work better. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them. Grab a coffee (or a tinto), and let’s break it down, real and simple.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device (phone, laptop, whatever) when you visit our site. They help us remember stuff like your tour preferences or keep your booking cart ready. Think of them as trail markers, helping you navigate our site without getting lost in the jungle of the internet.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to make your journey with us awesome. Here’s what they do:
Essential Cookies: These keep the site running smoothly—like making sure your booking for a Bolivian salt flats tour doesn’t vanish mid-click or letting you log in without hassle.
Analytics Cookies: We use tools like Google Analytics to see how you explore our site (e.g., which tours you linger on, like that Medellín poetry festival). This helps us tweak the site to be more user-friendly.
Personalization Cookies: These remember your preferences, like if you’re eyeing budget guesthouses or luxe eco-lodges, so we can suggest trips that vibe with you.
Marketing Cookies: These let us show you ads for our tours on other sites (like a reminder about that Peru jungle trek) or track how our ads perform. We only use these if you’re cool with it.
We don’t use cookies to snoop or collect stuff we don’t need. It’s all about making your experience better and our site easier to roam.
Types of Cookies We Use
Session Cookies: Temporary, gone when you close your browser. They help during your visit, like keeping your cart full while you browse.
Persistent Cookies: Stick around longer (a few days to a year) to remember your settings, like your language choice or favorite tours.
Third-Party Cookies: Set by partners like Google Analytics or ad platforms to track site performance or show you relevant ads. We make sure these partners respect your privacy.
Your Cookie Choices
You’re in charge. When you first visit our site, we’ll ask if you’re okay with cookies (via a pop-up). Here’s how you can manage them:
Accept All: Let us use all cookies to give you the full LaOtraMirilla experience—smooth browsing, personalized tour suggestions, and targeted ads.
Customize: Pick which cookies you’re okay with (like just essentials or analytics). You can change this anytime in our cookie settings.
Decline: Say no to non-essential cookies. The site will still work, but some features (like remembering your cart) might not be as slick.
Browser Settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check your browser’s “Privacy” or “Settings” menu. Just know, blocking all cookies might make our site a bit clunky.
How We Protect Your Data
Cookies don’t store sensitive stuff like your credit card or home address—just things like browsing habits or tour preferences. We use secure servers and encryption to keep your data safe, and our third-party partners (like Google) are held to strict privacy standards. If something goes wrong (like a data breach), we’ll let you know ASAP and fix it quick.
Changes to This Policy
We might update this policy as our site grows or new tech pops up. If we make big changes (like new types of cookies), we’ll notify you via email or a notice on our site. Check back here now and then to stay in the know.
