Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how their site is being used. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other information on your device. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on gsastermx.com, why we use them, and how you can control them.
2. Cookies We Use
This website uses the following categories of cookies. Necessary cookies (also called strictly necessary cookies) are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie preferences or navigating between pages. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate properly. The cookie used to store your consent preferences (gsaster_consent_v1) is an example of a necessary cookie.
Analytics cookies, when enabled, help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting and reporting information in an anonymized form. This information helps us improve the structure and content of the site. Analytics cookies are only set if you have provided your consent through the cookie preference tool.
Marketing cookies, when enabled, may be used to track the effectiveness of information presented on this website. Given that GSASTER MX operates a non-profit educational activity, marketing cookies are used only to understand which educational content is of most interest to visitors, not for commercial advertising targeting. Marketing cookies are only set if you have provided your consent.
3. Cookie Retention Periods
The consent preference cookie (gsaster_consent_v1) is retained for a period of 365 days from the date it is set. This allows the website to remember your preferences without asking again on each visit. Session cookies, which are used for basic website navigation, are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Analytics and marketing cookies, where enabled, have retention periods as specified by the respective service providers, typically ranging from 30 days to 24 months. You may delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, which will reset your preferences the next time you visit.
4. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie consent tool available on this website, which appears as a modal dialog when you first visit the site. You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other websites you visit. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available through your browser's help documentation. For more information about cookies generally, you may visit www.aboutcookies.org or similar informational resources.
5. Third-Party Cookies
This website may embed content or functionality from third-party services, such as Google Maps for displaying our location on the contact page. These third-party services may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with embedded content. GSASTER MX does not control third-party cookies and is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party providers. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services whose content appears on this website.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
GSASTER MX may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or applicable regulations. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We recommend reviewing this Cookie Policy periodically. If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us at info@gsastermx.com.
7. Legal Basis for Cookie Use in Mexico
The use of cookies on this website is governed by the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares (LFPDPPP) and its Reglamento, as well as the guidelines issued by the INAI regarding the processing of personal data through digital means. Where cookies process personal data (such as IP addresses or browsing behavior), we rely on your freely given, specific, and informed consent as the legal basis for that processing, except for strictly necessary cookies which are required for the website to function and do not require consent. Your consent preferences are recorded and stored through the gsaster_consent_v1 cookie.
