Cookie Policy

Last updated: 10 July 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which types may be used by the website of Universidad Maharishi de Latino-America y el Caribe, formally abbreviated in its statutes as UMLAC, why they are used and how users can manage their preferences.

This policy should be read together with UMLAC’s Privacy Policy, which explains how personal data collected through the website and other digital services are processed.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small files or identifiers stored in a user’s browser or device when they visit a website. Similar technologies may also be used, including local storage, pixels, tags, session identifiers or other technical tools.

These technologies allow a website to function properly, remember preferences, maintain active sessions, improve security, analyse page use or support certain digital services.

3. Types of Cookies UMLAC May Use

The UMLAC website may use strictly necessary cookies, preference cookies, analytics or measurement cookies, communication or marketing cookies, and third-party cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies support basic operation of the website and its services. Preference cookies remember choices such as language, region or display settings. Analytics cookies help UMLAC understand how users interact with the website and improve the browsing experience. Communication or marketing cookies may measure campaigns, manage forms or display content related to UMLAC programs, events or services where there is an appropriate legal basis. Third-party cookies may be managed by providers of virtual classrooms, video, analytics, security, payment, forms, email or other technology services.

4. Cookies Used on the Website

Google Tag Manager (GTM-W7CXRKDW) and Google Analytics (G-MP7RNEJDDV) are not downloaded until the user accepts analytics. UMLAC keeps advertising storage, advertising user data and advertising personalisation denied. Essential forms work without analytics consent.

5. Consent Management

Where the use of certain cookies requires consent, UMLAC requests it through a notice and cookie-configuration panel. UMLAC takes Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and applicable rules on cookies and similar technologies as references for managing consent in a clear, informed and revocable manner.

Users may accept, reject or configure optional analytics. They may modify or withdraw consent at any time through the permanent Cookie settings button. Withdrawal keeps analytics denied on later visits; users can also remove cookies already stored through browser settings.

6. Disabling or Deleting Cookies in the Browser

Users can configure their browser to block, delete or limit cookies. If certain cookies are disabled, some website functions may become unavailable, work in a limited way or fail to remember preferences.

7. Third-Party Cookies and External Services

The UMLAC website may integrate third-party services, such as embedded videos, forms, analytics systems, academic platforms, payment gateways, maps, security services or other digital resources. These third parties may place cookies or similar technologies on the user’s device when the user interacts with those services. UMLAC does not fully control third-party cookie practices.

8. Changes to This Policy

UMLAC may update this Cookie Policy when technologies change, new services are added, legal requirements are modified or transparency for users needs to be improved. The current version is the one published on this page.

9. Contact

For technical enquiries related to cookies, website operation or digital services, users may write to webapps@umlac.university. For privacy or personal data protection enquiries, users may write to the Data Protection Officer at dpo@umlac.university.
