Cookie Policy
Please check the Legal notice section on the Terms and Conditions for information on the person responsible for the data (the data controller), as well as those responsible for the data handling and the privacy policy.
I have contracted the Cookiebot service, which is in charge of making a monthly scan of my website, informing about the cookies used, as well as helping me to offer the user greater transparency, leaving it up to you, as a user, to freely choose the cookies you really want to allow or not.
Definition and List of Cookies
What are not Cookies?
Cookies are not viruses, spam, Trojans, worms, spyware, or advertising programs – either static on the page or in a pop-up window format.
Where are Cookies Saved?
Cookie files are saved in each browser, (Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.). To check this, you can enter the same web domain using two different browsers, you will see the preferences may be different in each browser, or in the private window within the same browser.
When cookies are not Enabled
Some of the potential effects of not authorizing/allowing the use of cookies may include, but not be limited to, the following:
- The chosen products/services will not be loaded in the shop, so a shopping cart will not be created, and this may prevent acquiring the desired products or services.
- You will not be able to access the client area, personal area, or any area requiring data confirmation.
- It will not be possible to collect the required data to analyse the site, preventing me from knowing how to improve it and its services, as well as your own experience as a user.
- You will not be able to share the content of the site on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, among others.
- You will not be able to make comments on the blog.
- You will not be able to use any social media platforms since they all use cookies to offer their services.
- For your information, you will block all third-party advertising, decreasing the income for those who use this method (although it’s not my case, I do not use this type of advertising!).
- In certain domain websites your navigation can be regarded as spam because it cannot be identified.
Exercising your Rights
You can disable the cookies that you do not wish to use, by changing your consent as indicated in the Definition list of Cookies section within this policy.
How to Delete Cookies
You can delete and / or block cookies, for all navigation or for a specific web domain. This configuration must be done in each browser, if you only do it in a browser within the same device, it will be assumed that in the other browsers you accept the use of cookies. I cannot do this for you, you must do it in a responsible way in each browser and / or device that you wish to use.
As each browser has different configuration settings, you must see your browser Help to check how to do this exactly. In this section I mention how to delete/block cookies on the most common browsers, however, note this may vary depending on the operating system or version you are using. The links provided below are merely for guidance.
- Chrome: Go to Menu – Settings (on Mac: Preferences) – Advanced Settings – Privacy – Here you choose whether to set cookies or delete existing cookies. For more information you can visit Chrome’s help
- Internet Explorer: Go to Tools – Internet Options – Privacy – Configuration – Advanced options. Configure as you wish. For more information you can visit the browser’s own help section
- Firefox: Go to Menu – Preferences – Privacy – Show cookies – Configure as required. For more information you can visit the browser’s help section
- Safari: Safari – Preferences – Privacy – Perform the desired configuration. For more information you can visit Apple’s help.

I hope this Cookie Policy has clarified things for you. If in doubt, just to let you know it is usually safer to leave cookies enabled in case it does interact with one of the features you use on the site.
