Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 12, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how V Y J MACHUCA SL uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It supplements our Privacy Policy and provides clear information about the types of cookies we use, what they do, and how you can control them. We use a small number of essential cookies to run the site and optional analytics and marketing cookies that activate only after your consent.
Relationship to our Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy is part of and supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly, including data controller identity, purposes of processing, retention, and your rights under applicable laws in Canada and the EU/UK (GDPR/UK GDPR where relevant).
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, keep them secure, remember preferences, and provide anonymized analytics and advertising insights. We may also use related technologies such as pixel tags and local storage to measure activity and remember choices. For consistency, we refer to all of these as “cookies.”
Types and sources of cookies
- By lifespan: Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain until they reach their set expiry or you delete them.
- By origin: First‑party cookies are set by our domain. Third‑party cookies are set by providers whose services we integrate (for example analytics or advertising partners).
Cookie categories we use
We group cookies into three categories. Optional categories (Analytics and Marketing) are disabled by default in the EEA/UK until you provide consent via our cookie banner or preferences panel.
- Essential: Required for core site functions such as session continuity and storing your consent choices. These do not require consent.
- Analytics (consent): Help us understand aggregated usage patterns to improve content and navigation. Data is measured in a way intended to limit identification.
- Marketing (consent): Used for remarketing and measuring advertising performance. These may create or read identifiers used by our advertising partners.

Consent and preferences
If you are located in the EEA or UK, Analytics and Marketing cookies are off by default until you explicitly opt in. You can review or change your consent at any time using the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer, or by reopening the banner via the same link. Your choice is stored in the essential “cookie_consent” cookie for up to 12 months.
Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers allow you to delete cookies, block third‑party cookies, or set site‑specific rules. If you delete cookies, your preferences may be lost and you might need to opt out again. You can also use the following provider tools and preference pages (addresses provided for reference):
- Google Analytics Opt‑out Add‑on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Google Ads Settings: adssettings.google.com
- Meta Ads Preferences: facebook.com/adpreferences
- Your Online Choices (EU): youronlinechoices.eu
Retention and expiry
Essential cookies persist for the session or up to 12 months, strictly to provide functionality such as remembering consent. Analytics identifiers are typically retained for up to 24 months by the provider. Marketing cookies used for attribution or remarketing generally expire within 90 days. You can see specific lifetimes in the table above.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. Material updates will be announced on the website, and the “Last Updated” date will be revised. Continued use of the site after changes take effect indicates your acknowledgment of the revised policy.
