01What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a site stores on your device to remember information between pages or visits. Equivalent technologies such as browser local storage or tracking pixels fall under the same rules.
Cookies can be first-party (managed by this site) or third-party (managed by another provider). By duration they are either session cookies, deleted when you close the browser, or persistent cookies, which stay for a set period.
02Cookies we use
Our own technical cookie: NEXT_LOCALE, which stores the language you chose so you don't have to pick it on every page. It expires after a year and is exempt from consent.
Google Analytics 4 analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_<ID>, from Google Ireland Limited): they measure in aggregate how many people visit the site, which pages they read and where they come from, so we know which content works. They last up to two years and are only set if you accept them. IP anonymisation is enabled.
We also measure traffic with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies or persistent identifiers and cannot recognise you across visits. That is why it needs no consent.
Your browser also stores on your own device (local storage, which never reaches any server) your decision about these cookies, whether you have seen the assistant notice, whether you dismissed the events bar, and any open conversation with the assistant. All of it is cleared by deleting the site data in your browser.
We use no advertising cookies, no social network cookies, no cross-site tracking, and we build no commercial profiles.

03Legal basis and consent
Technical cookies are exempt from consent under article 22.2 of the Spanish LSSI, as they are strictly necessary to provide the service you requested.
Analytics cookies are only set with your prior, express consent. On your first visit you will see a notice with two equally accessible options, accept or reject, and until you choose, no Google script is loaded and no analytics cookie is set.
Rejecting non-essential cookies does not restrict access to any content on this site.
04How to withdraw or delete cookies
You can change your decision at any time from the «Cookie settings» link in the footer. If you withdraw consent, we stop loading analytics.
You can also delete or block them from your browser: Chrome (Settings › Privacy and security › Cookies), Firefox (Settings › Privacy & Security), Safari (Preferences › Privacy) and Edge (Settings › Cookies and site permissions).
If you clear the site data you will also lose your cookie decision, and the notice will appear again on your next visit.
05Third parties and transfers
If you accept analytics, Google Ireland Limited acts as a provider and may process the data linked to the _ga cookies. Google may transfer it to the United States under the European Commission's standard contractual clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, to which it adheres. If you reject, no cookie-related transfer takes place.
Vercel Web Analytics uses no cookies or persistent identifiers, so it generates no cookie-related transfers.
Other providers are involved in processing unrelated to cookies, such as site hosting or the website assistant. They are detailed in the privacy policy.
