1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or device by websites that you visit.
They are widely used to ensure websites function properly, operate more efficiently, and provide aggregated information to website operators, without directly identifying individual users.
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 the core functionality of the church directory. Under UK law, these cookies do not require user consent.
Functional Cookies: Used to remember user preferences, such as language selection or the last searched region.
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4): Used to collect anonymous, aggregated information about how users in the UK interact with the website, allowing us to improve our services.
Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense): Used to display contextual or consent-based advertisements, helping us keep the directory accessible free of charge.
3. Protection of Special Category Data (Religious Beliefs)
Under the UK GDPR, data revealing religious beliefs constitutes Special Category Personal Data.
EncuentraIglesias.com expressly confirms that it does not use cookies or tracking technologies to identify, profile, or infer the religious beliefs, spiritual affiliations, or faith practices of users.
All data collected through cookies is strictly technical, functional, or statistical in nature. Using this website to locate places of worship does not result in the tracking or storage of a user’s religious identity.
4. Google Consent Mode v2
In compliance with UK privacy standards and ICO guidance:
If you accept cookies, Google services operate in their standard mode.
If you decline cookies, the website sends only anonymised consent signals (“pings”) to Google.
