Cookies and tracking technologies

This site uses first-party and third-party cookies. Cookies are small files stored on your device to remember your preferences and understand how the site is used.

Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4, managed through Google Tag Manager, to obtain anonymous, aggregated statistics about site usage (most-visited pages, traffic source and interactions with our contact buttons). These cookies are only activated if you give your consent.

You can also delete or block cookies from your browser settings.

Recipients and processors

We do not sell or transfer your personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. Your data may be processed by providers acting as processors on our behalf, in particular:

• Google LLC, as the provider of analytics services (Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager).
• Communication service providers (for example, WhatsApp) when you choose to contact us through those channels, subject to their own privacy policies.

We may also disclose data where there is a legal obligation or a request from a competent authority.

International data transfers

Some of our providers, such as Google, may store and process information on servers located outside Uruguay. In such cases, the transfer is carried out under the safeguards provided by applicable regulations and the security policies of those providers.

Retention period

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and, thereafter, for the applicable legal periods. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form according to the Google Analytics settings.

Information security

We adopt reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss or alteration. However, no system is completely infallible, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
