Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on this website. It is intended to comply with applicable Spanish and European legislation relating to cookies and electronic communications.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files a website can store on your device to remember information between visits or pages. Similar technologies include your browser's local storage and session storage, and content embedded from third-party services. Cookies and similar technologies may be classified as essential, functional, analytics, or marketing.
3. Categories of Cookies Used
Essential cookies and technologies are used because they are necessary for this website to function and cannot be switched off. Optional cookies and technologies, such as analytics or marketing cookies, are used only with your consent where required by law. This website does not use advertising cookies, behavioural advertising technologies, or analytics cookies unless they have first been accepted by the visitor where required by law.
4. Cookie Consent
When required by law, you will be asked to give or refuse consent before optional cookies or similar technologies are activated. Essential technologies, which are necessary for this website to function, do not require consent and are not subject to this choice.
5. Cookies and Technologies Used on This Website
| Cookie / Technology | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Language preference | El Libre Playa (first-party) | Remembers whether you last viewed the site in English or German | Local storage (not a cookie), essential | Until you clear your browser data |
| Google Fonts | Google LLC | Loads the site's typefaces from Google's servers; your IP address is sent to Google when the page loads | Third-party, functional | Determined by Google — see Google's own policy |
| Google Maps | Google LLC | Powers the embedded map on the Location section; Google may receive your IP address and set its own cookies | Third-party, functional | Determined by Google — see Google's own policy |
| Enquiry form delivery | Web3Forms | Delivers your contact-form submission to my inbox | Third-party, essential (only when you submit the form) | Determined by the form provider — see their policy |
This website does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics cookies that build a profile of you across visits.
6. Third-Party Services
Google Fonts and Google Maps are provided by Google LLC, and the enquiry form is delivered by a third-party form provider. These services operate independently and may set their own cookies or collect limited technical data (such as your IP address) as part of their normal operation. Their cookie and privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one, and I encourage you to consult those policies directly.
7. Managing or Withdrawing Consent
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser's settings — most browsers let you view, block, or remove cookies on a per-site basis. If you previously consented to optional cookies, you may withdraw that consent at any time using the cookie settings available on this website. Blocking functional technologies (such as those from Google Maps) may mean the map doesn't load correctly, but the rest of the site will continue to work.
8. Changes to This Policy
If this policy is updated, the new version will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date above.
