PREMISE
The Privacy Guarantor requires website administrators to display a banner to visitors informing them of the cookie policy of the site they are consulting and to condition their acceptance on the continuation of navigation.
In this section, which we ask you to read in its entirety, even if it is a bit long, we offer you all the useful information about how this site uses cookies, about their origin and the reasons for their use.
Although this is technical information, we are committed to using simple language because we want you to understand exactly what it is about.
Therefore, we ask you for a small effort, useful to know what happens with your computer system when you connect to our site.
This Cookie Policy explains what Cookies are and how we use them. You should read this policy to understand what type of cookies we use or the information we collect through cookies and how that information is used. Cookies generally do not contain information that personally identifies a user, but the personal information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. For more information on how we use, store and keep your personal data secure, see our Privacy Policy.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy:
Company (referred to as "the Company", "We", "Us" or "Our" in this Cookie Policy) refers to GoalValor.

What do we mean when we talk about cookies? (from "Privacy Guarantor")
Cookies are small text files that sites visited by the user send to their terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored before being retransmitted to the same sites on the user's next visit. During navigation on a site, the user can also receive cookies from different sites or web servers on their terminal (the so-called "third-party" cookies); this happens because there may be elements in the visited website such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages from other domains that reside on servers different from the one on which the requested page is located. That is, they are those cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting.
Cookies are used to perform computer authentication, session tracking, and storage of specific information about users accessing the server and are normally present in the browser of each user in very large quantities.
Some operations could not be carried out without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary: for example, access to home banking and activities that can be carried out in your online checking account (viewing the statement, bank transfers, bill payment, etc.) would be much more complex to perform and less secure without the presence of cookies that allow the user to be identified and maintained within the session.
Cookies can remain in the system for long periods and can also contain a unique identification code. This allows the sites that use them to track the user's navigation within the site itself, for statistical or advertising purposes, that is, to create a personalized profile of the user based on the pages they have visited and thus show targeted advertising.
The Use of Cookies
The following cookies are used within the website:
1. Cookies can be "Persistent" or "Session" Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you disconnect, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
We use session and persistent cookies for the purposes detailed below:

3. Use of Authentication Services and Cookies
At GoalValor, we use authentication services to ensure the security of user accounts. These services may include Google Authenticator. It is important to note that while Google Authenticator is part of our authentication process, it is not a cookie itself.
Authentication services, such as Google Authenticator, help verify the identity of our users by generating temporary authentication codes (OTP). If you choose to use Google Authenticator to protect your account on our site, please note that it will not involve installing cookies on your device.
It is essential for us to protect the privacy and security of our users. Therefore, we recommend reviewing the privacy and security policies of Google Authenticator's authentication services to understand how your personal data is handled during the authentication process. For this purpose, we attach the following link to Google's privacy policies: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=es
4. Use of Google Fonts
Our website uses Google Fonts to enhance the presentation and readability of texts. Google Fonts is a service provided by Google that allows the incorporation of typographic fonts on websites. When using Google Fonts, requests can be made to Google servers to load the selected fonts necessary to correctly display the content.
The Google Fonts service does not directly place cookies in users' browsers. However, when requesting fonts from Google servers, cookies may be created in the user's browser as part of the font loading process.
These cookies may be analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or other types of cookies depending on Google's settings and privacy policies.
It's important to note that while Google Fonts doesn't set cookies in the user's browser, Google's privacy policies may apply to font requests. These policies may involve Google collecting certain information. We recommend reviewing Google's privacy policies for more information on how your data is handled when you interact with Google Fonts.

These cookies may be necessary for essential functions such as user authentication, fraud prevention, and session management during the payment process. Although these cookies may be placed by a third party, Stripe, they are considered technical cookies as they are essential for the secure functionality of our payment system.

8. Use of CAPTCHA
On our website, we use CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) as a security measure to protect our systems against abuse and malicious activities. CAPTCHA helps distinguish between human users and automated bots by requiring users to complete a specific task, such as identifying images or characters, before submitting a form or accessing certain parts of the website.
Use of Cookies in CAPTCHA
Some CAPTCHA implementations may use cookies to improve the functionality and security of the system. Cookies may be used to remember if a human user has already completed a CAPTCHA in the past and avoid requesting it again in future interactions.
