COOKIE SETTINGS & TRANSPARENCY

Cookie Policy

How Corcovado Tour uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can accept, reject or manage your preferences.

Last updated: August 10, 2026

Your choices come first

Cookies that are strictly necessary may operate so that the website can function and remain secure. Optional analytics, marketing, functional and external-media technologies should only be activated according to your consent choices and the configuration actually in use.

You may accept all optional cookies, reject non-essential cookies or manage categories individually. Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent you from requesting or booking a tour, although certain embedded features may remain unavailable.

1. About this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains the use of cookies and similar technologies on corcovadotour.com. It complements our Privacy Policy, which explains how Corcovado Tour handles personal information connected with website use, inquiries and reservations.

This policy applies to visitors using computers, phones, tablets and other devices. The cookie consent panel displayed on the website is the most direct way to review the categories currently configured.

2. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a website is visited. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, software development tools and identifiers that help a website remember choices, protect forms, measure performance or display third-party content.

Some technologies are set directly by Corcovado Tour’s website (“first-party”), while others may be provided by external services (“third-party”).

3. How we use these technologies

Depending on the tools that are enabled, cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

  • Operate, secure and maintain the website.
  • Remember language and consent preferences.
  • Protect forms against spam, fraud or abuse.
  • Understand website traffic and improve content and navigation.
  • Measure inquiries, booking actions and advertising performance.
  • Display maps, videos or other external media requested by the visitor.

Corcovado Tour does not use cookies to sell personal information.

4. Categories of cookies

Strictly necessary: required for core website functions, security, consent records, language settings or forms. These cannot normally be disabled through the consent panel.

Analytics: help us understand visits, page performance and interactions through aggregated or pseudonymous measurements.

Marketing: may measure advertising, attribute conversions or support relevant audiences when such tools are enabled.

Functional and external media: enable optional features such as embedded maps, videos or enhanced communication tools.

6. Third-party services and external media

External services such as Google Maps, YouTube, payment platforms, booking tools or social-media features may receive technical information when their content is loaded or used. Where appropriate, optional external content should remain blocked until the relevant consent is given.

Links that open another website are governed by that provider’s own privacy and cookie terms.

7. Consent and prior blocking

When legally or technically appropriate, non-essential tags should remain blocked until the visitor makes a choice. The consent panel should provide equally accessible options to Accept all, Reject non-essential and Manage preferences.

Necessary technologies may operate without optional consent because the website, security features or consent mechanism cannot function properly without them. Google Consent Mode or similar controls may be configured to communicate consent choices to compatible services.

8. How to change or withdraw consent

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the cookie settings through the persistent Cookie Settings link or icon on the website. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before the preference was changed.

After a change, some previously stored cookies may remain until they expire or are removed through browser settings. The website should stop setting or reading optional cookies in accordance with the updated choice.

9. Browser controls and consequences of blocking

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies. Browser-level blocking may be broader than the website consent panel and can affect language selection, forms, maps, videos, payment redirects or other features.

Disabling optional cookies should not prevent access to the main tour information or ordinary contact options. If an embedded feature is blocked, we should provide a practical alternative whenever reasonably possible.

10. Cookie duration

Cookies may be session-based and disappear when the browser closes, or persistent and remain for a defined period. Duration depends on purpose and provider. Corcovado Tour will aim to keep retention proportionate and update the cookie inventory after material technology changes.

The consent tool’s detailed list, once configured and scanned, should show cookie names, providers, purposes and durations more precisely than a static policy can.

11. Data transfers and third-party policies

Some technology providers may process technical information outside Costa Rica. Their handling practices, retention periods and international safeguards are governed partly by their own terms and privacy policies. Corcovado Tour will select and configure providers with reasonable attention to privacy and security.

For information about personal-data handling, protected-area reservations and privacy rights, please read our Privacy Policy.

12. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, consent tool, providers, legal requirements or technical practices change. The current version and revision date will be published on this page.

A material change to optional tracking should also be reflected in the consent panel and, when appropriate, may require visitors to choose again.

13. Contact and related policies

For questions about cookies, consent choices or personal information, contact Corcovado Tour through our official contact page.

14. Current implementation status

This policy is designed to support the consent system Corcovado Tour is implementing. Until the consent-management plugin and final services are configured, references to planned tools describe the intended framework and do not necessarily mean that each tool is already active.

After implementation, Corcovado Tour should run a cookie scan, verify the exact names, providers and lifetimes detected, test both acceptance and rejection, and update this section if the active technology set changes.

A transparent foundation for responsible tourism

Our cookie banner, website tags and this policy must tell the same story. As new measurement, advertising or media tools are activated, Corcovado Tour will update the configuration and public information so visitors remain in control.
