This Cookies Policy applies to users located within the United States of America and supplements our United States Privacy Policy.
This document is designed to comply with applicable U.S. state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as other similar state-level regulations, and the technical requirements of Google Consent Mode v2.
Territorial scope of application
This policy applies to individuals whose personal data is processed when they are physically located in the United States at the time of accessing or using the website, regardless of nationality or the language in which the content is displayed.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are stored on your browser or device when you visit EncuentraIglesias.com.
They help us recognize your device, remember your preferences, and analyze website traffic in order to improve the functionality of our directory of religious institutions, without personally identifying you.
2. Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies: essential for website security, session management, map rendering, and core directory functionality.
Functional cookies: to remember your settings, such as language preferences or your last searched region.
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4): to generate aggregated usage statistics that help us optimize the service for users in the United States.
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense): to display contextual or, where applicable, consent-based advertising that allows us to keep the directory free for the community.
3. Protection of sensitive information (religious beliefs)
In accordance with modern U.S. privacy standards 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.
The data collected through cookies is strictly technical or statistical in nature.
Searching for places of worship on this website does not result in the storage of your religious identity through cookies or similar technologies.
4. Google Consent Mode v2 and U.S. privacy compliance
To ensure transparency and respect for user privacy rights, we have implemented Google Consent Mode v2:
If you opt in to cookies, Google tools will operate in standard mode.
If you decline or opt out, the website will send only anonymous signals (“pings”) that do not store information on your device.
This allows us to receive basic, non-identifiable metrics, in compliance with applicable U.S. state privacy laws.
