Cookie policy
This site sets no analytics, measurement or advertising cookies. There is no visitor tracking, no sharing of browsing behaviour with third parties, and therefore no cookie banner asking you for a decision.
This page explains what a cookie is, what this site uses today, and the rules that will apply on the day any non-essential cookie is introduced.
Draft
Document in preparation
This policy is a working draft. It describes accurately how the site behaves as published, but it has not yet been reviewed by qualified counsel. If the site later adds measurement, advertising or third-party content, this page must be rewritten before those elements reach production.
Draft version of 13 August 2026.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a site asks the browser to store on your device and that is returned to it on later requests. It exists so that a site can recognise the same browser from page to page, or from visit to visit.
The same logic applies to other local storage technologies, such as browser storage and measurement pixels. This policy covers them all: what matters is not the name of the technology but whether the site stores or reads anything on your device.
Which cookies does this site use?
The register below is the complete list. It is maintained alongside the code rather than written once and forgotten.
At present, none.
This site sets no first-party or third-party cookies — not even in the strictly necessary category. The language choice is not stored in a cookie: it lives in the address of the page itself, at /en/ and /es/, which makes the cookie unnecessary.
Because there are no non-essential cookies, there is no consent to ask for and no cookie banner. A banner asking permission for something that does not happen trains the visitor to click without reading.
If that changes, the table in this section will list every cookie by name, with who sets it, what it does and how long it lasts, and the consent notice will exist before any of them is set.
Which categories exist, and which require consent?
The distinction that matters is not technical but legal: a cookie strictly necessary to provide the service you asked for needs no consent; every other cookie needs it before being set.
| Category | Examples | Prior consent required? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeping a session open, holding the contents of a form between steps, protecting a form against automated submission. | No. They are indispensable to providing the service the visitor asked for. |
| Preferences | Remembering a display choice between visits, such as language or units, where these are not in the address. | Yes, prior consent. |
| Statistics and measurement | Counting visits, identifying traffic sources, recording sessions, producing heat maps. | Yes, prior consent, including for so-called anonymous measurement where it involves identifiers on the device. |
| Advertising and remarketing | Following a visitor across sites to show advertisements, measuring campaign conversions, building audiences. | Yes, prior consent. |
How will consent work?
These are the rules the cookie notice will have to satisfy before it goes into production. They are written now rather than on the day of installation, so that the technical decision does not run ahead of the legal one.
01
No non-essential cookie is set before consent is given. The script that sets it is not loaded until then.02
Refusing is as easy as accepting: two buttons of equal visual weight, on the same screen, with no second level of menu required to say no.03
Nothing is pre-selected. A pre-ticked box is not consent.04
Continuing to browse, scrolling the page or dismissing the notice is not consent.05
Consent is recorded with the date, the policy version and the categories accepted, so that it can be demonstrated.06
Withdrawing consent is as simple as giving it, through a permanent link on this page.07
We do not use cookie walls. Anyone who refuses sees the same content, with no loss of functionality.
While no non-essential cookie exists, none of these rules has to be exercised. They are published all the same, because they are the standard against which the future implementation will be judged.
Does the site load third-party resources?
Not when a page loads. An external resource fetched by default is a tracker in practice, even when it sets no cookie: it discloses the IP address and the page visited to whoever serves it.
Typefaces
Hosted on our own domain and served from it. Opening a page of this site generates no request to any third-party font server.
Maps
The map on the contact page loads only after you ask for it with a click. Until that click, no request is made to the map provider.
Video and social media
There are no embedded videos and no social media widgets on any page of the site.
Analytics
There are none. If any are added, they enter this policy and the prior-consent regime before being installed.
How can you control cookies in your browser?
Every browser lets you view, block and delete cookies from its privacy settings, usually under «Settings → Privacy and security». You can also browse in a private window, which clears storage when it closes.
Blocking all cookies can stop parts of other sites working, particularly those requiring a signed-in session. On this site it has no such effect, because there are no cookies to block.
Changes to this policy
This policy carries a version date. Any new cookie enters this page first and the site second. If the change introduces a category requiring consent, the notice starts being shown and any earlier consent is asked for again.
