Geolocation Cookies: These cookies are used to determine the country you are in when browsing the web. This cookie is completely anonymous and only used to help tailor content to your location.

Registration Cookies: Registration cookies are generated once the user registers or logs in, and they are used to identify the user on pages for the following purposes: Maintaining user identification, so if the user closes a page, the browser, or the computer and returns to this page at a later time or day, they will remain identified, thus facilitating navigation without needing to reidentify.

Analytics Cookies: Each time a user visits a page, an analytical cookie is generated on the user’s computer by an external provider’s tool (in our case, Google Analytics). This cookie, generated only during the visit, will serve in future visits to the pages of www.quinoadelights.com to anonymously identify the visitor. The main goals pursued are: Enabling the anonymous identification of browsing users through the “cookie” (identifying browsers and devices, not individuals) and thus approximating the count of visitors and their trends over time.
