Plata Cubana Cookie Policy
Version of October 9, 2026 · Last updated: October 9, 2026 · See previous versions
This policy explains which cookies and browser storage Plata Cubana (platacubana.com) and its help centre use, what they are for and how long they last.
1. What they are
Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser. Local storage and session storage are similar, but only the website itself reads them from your browser. We treat them the same way here.
2. No advertising or analytics
We do not use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, either our own or third-party ones. Everything listed below is there for the service to work or to remember your preferences.
