Cookie Policy

This cookie policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on myspanishnlv.com, and how you can manage your preferences. For broader information on how we handle your personal data, please read our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, or whether you have seen a consent banner) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them when you return or browse between pages.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that provide functionality on the website ("third-party cookies"). They may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored on your device for a set period).

• Ensure the website functions correctly (essential cookies)
• Understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it (analytics cookies)
• Measure the effectiveness of our advertising on platforms such as Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google Ads (marketing cookies)

3.3 Marketing cookies

We use the Meta Pixel (provided by Meta Platforms, Inc.) to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram.
