COOKIE POLICY

Hey, flamenco folks! Our website, flamenkos.com, uses cookies to make your browsing as smooth as a flamenco dancer’s zapateado. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use ‘em, and how you can control them. We’re keeping it fun and clear, so let’s get to it!

WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are tiny text files our site drops on your browser when you visit. They’re like little notes that help us remember you—like if you added a Cascade Flamenco Weekend to your cart or checked out our blog on letras. They’re not viruses or creepy spies, just bits of code to make things work better. Oh, and sadly, they’re not the yummy kind you eat with coffee.

TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
We use a few kinds to keep the flamenco vibes flowing:

Essential Cookies: These are must-haves for the site to function. They let you book a tour, fill out forms, or stay logged in. No turning these off, or the site might break!
Analytics Cookies: These tell us how you use our site—like if you spend hours on our Jerez tour page or bounce after reading one blog. We use tools like Google Analytics to improve things.
Marketing Cookies: These help us show you ads for our retreats when you’re scrolling Instagram or Googling flamenco shoes. They make sure our ads hit the right folks.
Functional Cookies: These remember your preferences, like if you picked English or Spanish for the site or said yes to our newsletter pop-up.
HOW WE USE COOKIES
Cookies help us:

Make booking a breeze (like saving your spot for the Seville Flamenco Immersion).
Track what’s popular (are you all about retreats or our flamenco shoe guide?).
Personalize your experience (like suggesting a Cadiz tour if you’ve been eyeing it).
Show you relevant ads on other sites (only if you’re cool with marketing cookies).
Keep the site secure by spotting weird activity (like bots trying to crash our party).
WHO SETS COOKIES

Us: Flamenkos sets cookies for bookings, site performance, and basic functions.
Third Parties: We use trusted partners like:
Google Analytics: To see how many folks visit our blog or tour pages.
Meta Pixel: To show you ads on Facebook or Instagram.
Mailchimp: To track if you opened our newsletter about the Oregon retreat.
These partners have their own cookie policies, but we make sure they’re legit and secure.
HOW LONG DO COOKIES LAST?

Session Cookies: These vanish when you close your browser (like after you book a class).
Persistent Cookies: These stick around (up to 2 years) to remember you next time you visit, like your language choice or cart items.
You can delete cookies anytime in your browser settings—poof, they’re gone!
YOUR COOKIE CHOICES
You’re the boss of your cookies:

When you hit our site, a cookie banner pops up. You can say yes to all, pick specific types (like just essentials), or say no to non-essential ones.
Most browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) let you block or delete cookies. Check your settings under “Privacy” or “Cookies.”
Saying no to non-essential cookies (like analytics or marketing) might make the site less tailored—like no tour ads or stats on your fave pages.
If you’re in the EU, GDPR lets you control how your data’s used. Our banner makes it easy to choose.
DO NOT TRACK
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” option. We respect it where we can, but some third-party tools (like Google Analytics) might not, so check their policies. Blocking cookies is your best bet for max control.

SECURITY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Our cookies are secure, using encryption to keep your data safe.
Third-party cookies (like Meta’s) follow their own security rules, but we only work with trusted partners who meet high standards.
We don’t let random companies drop cookies on our site—just the ones we need for flamenco fun.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
If we update our cookie game (like adding a new analytics tool), we’ll post the new policy on flamenkos.com and maybe ping you via email if it’s a big change. Check back to stay in the know.
