COOKIE POLICY FOR SALSABOR TROPICAL, INC.
Last Updated: August 28, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Salsabor Tropical, Inc., a Florida corporation doing business as Step N Dance (collectively referred to as "the Company", "we", "us", or "our"), uses cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons, and similar digital tracking technologies when you visit our web properties.
SCOPE OF THIS POLICY
This policy applies across our entire digital infrastructure and promotional websites, including:
Our primary in-person studio website: https://salsabortropical.com
Our public marketing websites and landing pages hosted via Convertri: https://danceclassesonline.net
Our online course dashboard and membership portal hosted via Skillplate: https://academy.danceclassesonline.net
This Cookie Policy forms an integral part of our master Privacy Policy. By clicking "Accept All" on our cookie consent banner, or manually enabling categories of tracking cookies, you consent to our deployment of cookies as described below.
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND DIGITAL TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
Cookies are small data text files that are stored directly on your computer, tablet, or mobile browser when you load a web page. They allow website architectures to remember your unique actions, log-in states, device types, and system configurations over a specified period.
We also use similar tracking technologies like "pixels" or "web beacons" (such as the Meta/Facebook pixel or Google Analytics scripts). For our physical studio brand (SalsaborTropical.com), these tools help us track how local residents interact with our schedules, see which dance locations (Ocala, Marion Oaks, Belleview) get the most interest, and optimize our local advertising campaigns.
2. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES USED ON OUR WEBSITES
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Mandatory)
These operational tracking cookies are essential for you to navigate our websites, use basic features, and log in securely. Without these cookies, basic digital services—such as processing an in-person or online payment through Stripe or maintaining your secure active student login session inside Skillplate—cannot function. Because these cookies are mandatory for site delivery, they do not require prior user consent under international law.
- Retention: Mostly session-based (deleted automatically when you log out or close your web browser).
B. Functional & Preference Cookies (Optional)
These cookies allow our websites to remember the localized selections and settings you choose (such as your preferred text sizes, login details, or language configurations). They provide an optimized, personalized user experience so you do not have to reset your preferences every time you open a dance page or instructional module.
Retention: Persistent (stored on your device for a fixed duration, typically up to 12 months, or until cleared manually).
C. Performance & Analytics Cookies (Optional)
These cookies collect data regarding how visitors interact with our websites, which dance course or local schedule pages are viewed most frequently, and whether users encounter error pages. We utilize this information solely to measure and improve our web performance, loading speeds, and layout workflows. All data collected through these third-party platforms (such as Google Analytics) is aggregated and completely anonymized.
Retention: Persistent (varies by provider, typically ranging from 30 days to 2 years).
D. Targeting & Marketing Cookies (Optional)
These cookies are placed by our third-party advertising networks and marketing systems (such as the Meta/Facebook Pixel). They track your general browsing habits across the internet and are utilized to deliver tailored promotional materials, local event announcements, discount coupons, and advertisements for our online or in-person dance programs that match your interests. They also limit the number of times you see a specific ad.
Retention: Persistent.
3. RECIPIENTS AND PLATFORM CONTEXT
Because our ecosystem splits workflows between Convertri (public landing pages), Skillplate (secure student digital academy), and our main studio assets, we embed tracking codes across multiple environments.
- First-Party Cookies: Set directly by the Company to manage your secure accounts and local site preferences.
- Third-Party Cookies: Set by our trusted third-party technical integrations, including our core platform infrastructure (Skillplate), our merchant processing frameworks (Stripe or Square), and our tracking utilities (such as Google or Meta). We do not control the independent life cycles of third-party cookies, which are subject to their respective privacy guidelines.
4. HOW TO PROPERLY CONTROL AND MANAGE COOKIES
You maintain complete control over how cookies are utilized on your hardware devices. You can adjust your tracking preferences through the following primary methods:
A. Our On-Site Cookie Consent Banners
When you first access our websites or their subdomains, a cookie management panel will overlay the screen. You can choose to click "Accept All", click "Reject All" (which blocks all optional marketing and analytics trackers), or open the settings panel to manually toggle non-essential cookies on or off.
B. Your Native Browser Configurations
Most desktop and mobile internet browsers accept cookies by default. However, you can change your local browser settings to completely block cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you whenever a website attempts to place a tracker. To configure these mechanisms, visit the documentation or help menu provided by your specific browser vendor (such as Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge).
Please Note: If you completely block all cookies through your browser, you will also disable our Strictly Necessary Cookies. If you do this, you will be unable to log into your online student account or process digital checkout transactions.
C. Universal Privacy and Opt-Out Networks
To completely opt out of targeted third-party interest-based advertising networks globally, you can utilize the cross-industry digital clearinghouses provided by the following consumer protection entities:
United States: Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) — https://aboutads.info
Europe & UK: European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) — https://youronlinechoices.com
