Cookie Policy

Last updated: 01.09.2026

1. Who is responsible

Asociación para la Conservación de la Reserva Comunitaria Indígena Bio-Itzá, through the Bio Itzá Spanish School, is responsible for the use of information described in this policy for the School’s purposes.

Address: San José, Petén, Guatemala. Privacy contact: info@bio-itza.com.

Where the website operates within infrastructure or a domain administered by Asociación de Comunidades Forestales de Petén (ACOFOP), that organization may act as a technical operator and, depending on the decisions it makes about domain-level tools and cookies, assume the corresponding responsibilities. The actual service providers appear in the dynamic cookie list.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small files that a website stores in a browser or device. We also use the term for similar technologies, including local storage, pixels, tags, and identifiers. Some are essential; others remember preferences, measure visits, or load third-party services.

3. Categories we use

• Necessary: enable security, navigation, website operation, and storage of your cookie choice. They are always active and are not used for advertising.

• Preferences: remember voluntary choices to make your experience more convenient.

• Analytics: help us understand statistically which pages are visited and how to improve the site.

• External content and marketing: allow maps, videos, or other third-party resources to be displayed and, if advertising is used, campaigns to be measured.

4. When cookies are activated

Necessary cookies may be used without an additional choice because they are essential to provide the service you requested. Preference, analytics, marketing, and external-content cookies remain blocked until you consent to the relevant category.

Scrolling, continuing to browse, remaining silent, or closing the banner does not mean that you accept optional cookies.

5. Current cookies and providers

The following list is generated from the website’s current scan. It shows the name, provider, purpose, category, type, and duration of each cookie or similar technology.

6. Information that may be collected

Depending on the categories you allow, cookies may process online identifiers, IP address, device and browser type, language, pages visited, date and time, referring website, interaction with content, and your privacy choice. We aim to use only the information needed for each purpose.

Information you voluntarily submit through enquiry, registration, or booking forms is explained in the Privacy Policy. This Cookie Policy does not replace that notice.

7. How we use the information

• Keep the website secure and operational.

• Remember your preferences and cookie choice.

• Understand page performance and usefulness when you accept analytics.

• Display requested external content when you authorize it.

• Measure outreach campaigns only if marketing tools are used and you accept them.

8. Third parties and international processing

External services you authorize may receive technical data directly from your device and process it in other countries. The dynamic list identifies the providers used and links to their information. Bio Itzá seeks to select providers with appropriate privacy and security measures and to apply safeguards required for international processing.

Bio Itzá does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where applicable and technically compatible, the website will respect privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control.

9. Duration

The duration of each cookie is shown in the list. Session cookies are normally deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain for the stated period or until you delete them. As an operational rule, your consent choice will be retained for up to six months, and we will ask again sooner if the purposes, categories, or providers change materially.

10. How to change or withdraw your choice

You can accept, reject, or choose categories in the banner. You can later change or withdraw your consent through “Manage cookies” in the website footer. Withdrawal does not affect earlier processing that was valid, but it stops future loading of the withdrawn category.

11. Your rights

Depending on the law that applies, you may request information, access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection regarding your personal data. You may also withdraw consent and lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority. To exercise your rights, contact info@bio-itza.com.

12. Changes and contact

We will update this policy when cookies, providers, purposes, or applicable obligations change. The current date appears at the beginning. For questions about cookies or privacy, contact info@bio-itza.com.
