Information About the Use of Cookies

At guachincheromance.com, we want to inform you that our website uses cookies to analyze user navigation and provide a better browsing experience.

This is something that most websites do (sometimes unknowingly, as many personal blog users do), but we want to be clear and transparent about how we use them in our case.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files installed on the device you use to access our website. They serve various purposes related to navigation, such as recognizing you when you return to our website or remembering your preferences.

Cookies are an essential tool for proper navigation on most websites (including ours), facilitating usability and ease of browsing.

In some cases, cookies also help us detect errors related to navigation that would otherwise be difficult to identify, making it easier for us to fix them.

A cookie can never harm your device. The reason you see many cookie usage notifications now is not because they are new (cookies have been around for decades), but because websites are now required to inform users about what data is being processed through them (even though the data remains the same as before).

According to Their Duration, Cookies Can Be:

Session Cookies: Their duration is very short, usually until the browser is closed or shortly after, disappearing without leaving a trace on the device. Their purpose is generally to store temporary variables or data to be used in the short term, facilitating navigation and increasing usability. These are the ones we use the most, allowing features such as adding items to the cart, not having to re-enter form details if you go back, etc.

Persistent Cookies: These last longer, but always for a set duration (they have an expiration date) and are usually used to store data that should remain available for longer. For example, they are responsible for remembering your user account each time you log in so you don’t have to sign in every time.

According to Who Manages Them, Cookies Can Be:

• First-Party Cookies: These are managed exclusively by us to facilitate navigation, proper website use, and the purchasing process.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are sent by an entity other than us, which is responsible for processing the data. For example, Google, which provides us with statistical data to better understand aggregate user behavior (never individual). Many of these cookies are only installed if you arrive from a third-party site (clicking on an ad, an email, a social network, etc.).
  According to their nature or purpose, cookies can be:
• Technical Cookies: Essential for the correct operation of the website or a particular feature. Most of these are first-party cookies that we use to improve our service. Examples include remembering products added to the cart, recognizing your user account upon login, storing form data in case you go back, correctly calculating shipping costs, etc.
• Analytical Cookies: These allow us to quantify users and analyze their browsing behavior in an aggregated and anonymous manner. They are usually third-party cookies that provide data on the most visited pages, peak usage times, and the types of devices used. This helps us improve the layout of the website and understand which areas are most interesting or where navigation issues may exist.
• Advertising Cookies: These allow us to measure and optimize the impact of advertising campaigns. They are usually third-party cookies that help us understand the impact of advertising campaigns in search engines, social networks, email marketing, and other websites. The data provided is aggregated and anonymous, similar to analytics cookies, and they are sometimes included in the same reports.
