Opening-list subscriptions

If you subscribe, we store your email address, optional first name, consent and signup date to send El Patrón news. Analytics consent is separate from subscribing. For subscriber removal requests, contact @elpatrontacobar.

Optional first-party visitor analytics

We collect analytics only after you choose Allow analytics. Declining does not affect the website or subscriptions. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control disable collection even if you previously allowed it. You can change your choice at any time using Analytics preferences in the footer.

With permission, we collect your full IP address; approximate city, region and country; a random browser identifier and session identifier; page views; sections explored; product views; language and location selections; directions clicks; catering form opens and successful submissions; broad device category; referrer category; and active, visible-tab time. We never collect passwords, form contents, precise GPS location, or sensitive URL parameters. Private account, payment, receipt and tracking pages are excluded.

IP lookup takes place on our own server using a local DB-IP database. Visitor IPs are not sent to a geolocation service. Locations are approximate and may reflect a VPN or network provider. IP Geolocation by DB-IP.

Analytics records are retained for 90 days and purged automatically. They are restricted to authorized owners, admins and managers. Random analytics cookies are set only with consent: a 30-minute visit cookie and a browser identifier lasting up to 90 days. Your consent preference is saved locally for 90 days. Changing to Decline stops collection, clears analytics cookies and deletes the current analytics visit; older retained visits expire automatically.

Authorized owners can mark their current full IP as WEBMASTER. Matching visits are separated from customer reports. This affects everyone sharing that connection, not just the owner. Marks expire after 90 days. We never infer missing historical IPs or create historical visits.

Hosting security and operational logs are separate from optional analytics and may record request metadata as required to operate the website. Contact us through Instagram with privacy questions or a request relating to your analytics data.
