Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 29, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Golden Visa Costa Rica uses cookies and similar technologies (like browser local storage) on goldenvisacostarica.com, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use browser local storage, which works similarly but is stored only on your device rather than sent with every request. Both help sites remember information about your visit.

The Categories We Use

Strictly necessary — required for the Site to function (e.g. remembering your language). These don't require consent and can't be switched off.

Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the Site (pages viewed, time on page, general location and device type) via Google Analytics. Only set if you click "Accept All" in our cookie banner.

Advertising / personalization — would support ad measurement and personalization via Google's advertising products. Only set if you consent; denied by default for visitors in the EU/EEA, UK, and Switzerland per Google Consent Mode.

Google Consent Mode

We use Google Consent Mode v2. Analytics and advertising cookies are denied by default for visitors in the EU/EEA, UK, and Switzerland until you actively accept them. In other regions they default to granted but you can decline them at any time using the controls below — your choice is respected everywhere.

Managing Your Preferences

You can change your cookie choice at any time:

You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser settings, and opt out of Google Analytics site-wide using Google's browser add-on . Blocking strictly necessary storage may affect how the Site works (for example, it may forget your language preference).
