Cookies

Our website uses "cookie" technology. "Cookies" are encrypted strings of text that a website stores on a user's computer. Our website requires the use of a cookie throughout the online reservation process. Without cookies we will not be able to keep information you enter on multiple pages together. Cookies also enable us to customize our website and offerings to your needs and provide you with a better online experience on Latinvisa.com. In addition, cookies are used to:

¯       allow registered users to sign in without typing their sign in name each time;

¯       provide functionality such as online reservations and product and services request, Latinvisa Forum transactions and other functionality that we believe would be of interest and value to you.

The types of cookies that we use are referred to as "session" cookies and "persistent" cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you leave Latinvisa.com. Persistent cookies remain on your computer hard drive until you delete them.

Pixel Tags

Latinvisa and its third party service providers use pixel tags (also known as "clear gifs", "beacon gifs", etc.). Pixel tags are not visible to the user of the web site and consist of a few lines of computer coding. Pixel tags are not used to collect any personally identifiable information about you apart from what you voluntarily provide us in your dealings with Latinvisa. Latinvisa and our e-mail service provider use pixel tags to:

¯       track responses to Latinvisa advertisements and site content;

¯       determine your ability to receive HTML-based e-mail messages. Our e-mail service provider includes a pixel tag, which they refer to as a "coded sensor", in all of the HTML-based messages sent on our behalf. The sensor activates when the e-mail message is opened and flags the e-mail address of the user as one that is capable of receiving HTML-based email messages. This capability helps our service provider to send the e-mail in a format you can read. The sensor does not collect or use any other information. If you cannot receive HTML, you will not receive a functioning sensor.

¯       know how many users open an e-mail and allow our service provider to compile aggregated statistics about an e-mail campaign for us; and

¯       allow us to better target interactive advertising, enhance customer support and site usability, and provide offers and promotions that we believe would be of interest to you.
