Cookie policy

What a cookie is

A small file a site stores in your browser so that something is remembered between one page and the next. The same rules cover the neighbouring technologies — local storage, session storage, tracking pixels — and this page uses “cookie” to mean all of them.

Your consent

Under Spanish Law 34/2002 (LSSI-CE) and the GDPR, strictly necessary cookies may be set without asking, while analytics and advertising cookies need your prior, informed agreement. That is why the banner asks before Google Analytics runs: until you accept, its script is not even loaded. Rejecting is one click, the same as accepting. The visit counter of our hosting platform, described below, runs without asking: it is part of how the site is served and we cannot switch it off from here.

What is set today

• Security and delivery. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may set a cookie to tell real visitors from automated abuse and to keep the site available. It carries no profile of you.
• Your session, if you sign in. An account is optional. If you create one, the authentication service stores a session token in your browser so you stay signed in; it disappears when you sign out.
• Your answer to the banner. Kept in your browser's local storage, so we do not ask again on every page.
• Visit counter of our hosting platform. Lovable, which builds and serves the site, sets a session-id cookie and records each page view: the address, the page you came from, your browser, its language and a country guessed from your time zone. It is used for aggregate traffic figures, not to recognise you across sites.
• Google Analytics, only if you accept. The _ga and _ga_* cookies tell one visit from the next, so we can count which pages are read. Google Ireland Limited processes the data on our behalf; advertising features are switched off.

Nothing here is shared with an advertising network, and none of it is used to show you ads here or on other sites.

What is not set

There is no advertising pixel from Meta, TikTok or anyone else, no advertising cookie from Google, and no profiling of what you read.

Cookies set by the vendors you click through to

When you follow a link to a vendor, you leave this site. That vendor, and sometimes the affiliate network in between, will set its own cookies under its own policy — typically to remember that the visit came from us so a commission can be attributed. Those cookies are outside our control and outside our sight. Their duration and purpose are described in the privacy policy of the site you land on.

How long they last

• Security cookies: from minutes to a few hours, renewed as you browse.
• Session cookie, if you signed in: until you sign out, or until it expires.
• Your answer to the banner: until you change it or clear your browser's storage.
• Hosting platform visit counter (session-id): 30 minutes from your last page view.
• Google Analytics cookies, if you accepted: up to 2 years.
• Vendor cookies after a click-through: set by them, commonly 30 to 90 days.

Changing your mind

You can withdraw or give consent at any time from cookie settings, also linked at the bottom of every page. Withdrawing stops Google Analytics at once and deletes its cookies from your browser.

Blocking them yourself

Every browser can block or delete cookies for a given site. Doing it here costs you nothing: the catalogue, the filters and the pages all work the same. The one thing that stops working is staying signed in, because that is precisely what the session cookie does.
