1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit our website. They do not contain viruses or malware and serve to:

• Confirm that you are over 18 years old (required legal age barrier)
• Keep your login sessions active so you don’t have to log in repeatedly

2. Types of cookies we use

A. Strictly necessary cookies (cannot be disabled)

These cookies are essential for the site to function properly. They cannot be disabled without losing functionality.

B. Functional cookies

These cookies enhance your user experience by remembering your preferences.

C. Analytical cookies

These help us understand how you use the site. Data is collected in an aggregated and anonymized form.

These are activated only if you have given explicit consent. They are used to show relevant ads or track advertising campaigns.

3. First-party vs. third-party cookies

First-party cookies

Set directly by Acompanantes Argentina from our own domain. We have complete control over what data they store and how they are used.

Third-party cookies

Installed by external providers (Google Analytics, Facebook, security providers, etc.). These third parties have their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for enforcing your cookie preferences if they choose to ignore them. We recommend consulting their policies directly:

• Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
• Facebook Pixel: facebook.com/privacy
• Cloudflare: cloudflare.com/privacy

4. Legal basis (Argentina)

The use of cookies on Acompanantes Argentina is governed by the following Argentine laws and regulations:

Law 25,326 – Personal Data Protection Law

This law regulates the processing of personal data in Argentina. In accordance with it:

• Necessary cookies: Used based on “legitimate interest” (operation and security of the site). They do not require prior consent because they are essential.
• Other cookies (functional, analytical, marketing): Require explicit user consent, granted through the cookie banner.

AAIP (Agency for Access to Public Information)

The regulatory authority that oversees compliance with data protection law. You can contact them to report violations.

Right to withdraw consent

Consent for cookies can be withdrawn at any time from:

• The cookie banner on the site
• Your browser settings
• Contacting us directly at [email protected]

Withdrawal does not affect past processing; only future cookies will be affected.

7. Frequently asked questions

Are cookies secure?

Yes. Cookies cannot execute code or download malware. They only store data as plain text. However, sensitive data (passwords, credit card numbers) should never be stored in cookies — that would be unsafe.

Do cookies track my location?

No. Cookies do not access your GPS location. Analytics providers may estimate your approximate location based on your IP address, but this is general (province/city level, not precise).

What happens if I disable all cookies?

The site will likely not work correctly. You won’t be able to log in, the age barrier won’t verify your age, and the site may display with formatting issues.

Can cookies steal my passwords?

No. Passwords are never stored in cookies for security reasons. They are stored on our servers, encrypted.

Can I see what cookies my browser has?

Yes. From your browser settings (see table in Section 5), you can see exactly what cookies are installed, from which domain, and when they expire.

What happens to my cookie data after I delete them?

Once deleted, the data is lost. If you revisit the site, new cookies will be created (unless you’ve disabled them in your browser settings).

Does Acompanantes Argentina sells my data to third parties?

No. We do not sell personal data. Aggregated analytics data (e.g., “10,000 visitors from Argentina”) may be shared for internal reporting or site improvement, but never personally identifiable data.

What’s the difference between cookies and tracking pixels?

Cookies are files stored on your device. Tracking pixels are tiny, invisible images (1×1 pixel) embedded on web pages to track user behavior. Both serve similar purposes but work differently technically.

How long do you keep my cookie data?

It depends on the cookie type. Necessary cookies last up to 1 year. Analytics data is typically retained for up to 26 months by Google Analytics. You can always request deletion by contacting [email protected].

Can I opt out of Google Analytics?

Yes. You can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being sent to Google Analytics.
