They allow us to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and analyze website traffic in order to improve the functionality of our directory of places of worship, without personally identifying you.
2. Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for the following purposes:
Technical necessity: essential for site security, session management, map rendering, and the core functionality of the directory.

Analytics (Google Analytics 4): to generate aggregated usage statistics that help us optimize the service for users in Canada.
Advertising (Google AdSense): to display contextual or, where consent is provided, consent-based advertising that allows us to keep the directory free for the community.
3. Protection of sensitive information (religious beliefs)
In accordance with Canadian privacy principles regarding sensitive personal information, EncuentraIglesias.com expressly states that it does not use cookies or tracking technologies to identify, profile, or infer users’ religious beliefs, spiritual affiliations, or faith practices.
