Cookie policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device when you visit it, allowing your browser to be recognised on later visits. Alongside them there are other local storage technologies, such as the browser's «localStorage», which work in a similar way and which this policy also covers.

Cookies set by the atalai.net domain itself are called first-party; those set by another domain, such as Google's, are third-party.

2. This site sets nothing until you decide

Arriving at atalai.net sets no measurement or advertising cookies. The Google Analytics code is not even downloaded until you click «Accept» in the notice shown on your first visit.

If you click «Decline», no measurement is activated and you will not be asked again. The only thing stored in that case is your decision, so that it can be respected.

This site uses no advertising, social network or cross-site tracking cookies, neither now nor in any earlier version.

3. Cookies and storage used by this site

Here is the full detail, with name, owner, purpose and actual duration. If it ever changes, this table is updated.

• ts-cookie-consent · Owner: Atalai (first-party) · Type: local storage key (localStorage), not a cookie · Purpose: remember whether you accepted or declined measurement, so the notice is not shown again · Duration: stays in the browser until you clear the site's data.
• _ga · Owner: Google (first-party, set on the atalai.net domain by the Google Analytics code) · Purpose: distinguish visitors statistically by means of a random identifier · Duration: 2 years · Only set if you accept.
• _ga_0QEY05JS71 · Owner: Google (first-party, set on the atalai.net domain) · Purpose: keep the Google Analytics 4 session state for measurement property G-0QEY05JS71 · Duration: 2 years · Only set if you accept.

4. Types of cookies by purpose

Classified by purpose, this site has:

• Technical or necessary: they enable basic operation and security. Here this is only the key storing your cookie decision. It is exempt from the consent requirement.
• Preference: this site uses none. Language is not stored in the browser: it is part of each page's address (/ca/, /es/, /en/).
• Analytics or measurement: the Google Analytics 4 cookies described above. They require your consent and are only activated if you give it.
• Advertising or ad profiling: this site uses none.
• By duration, cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent (they remain for the stated period). All those described above are persistent.

5. How to accept, decline or change your decision

On your first visit a notice appears with two equally weighted, clearly labelled options: «Accept» and «Decline». Declining is as easy as accepting, no nagging messages are shown and no content is withheld for declining.

You can change your mind at any time using the «Manage cookies» link in the footer of every page or the button at the end of this one, which brings the notice back so you can choose again. The new choice replaces the previous one.

You can also delete the «ts-cookie-consent» key from your browser's local storage: the notice will reappear on your next visit, as on the first one.

If you withdraw consent, measurement stops at that very moment, without reloading, and the _ga and _ga_0QEY05JS71 cookies are deleted from the atalai.net domain. To check this or clear any other site data, follow the instructions in the next section.

6. How to view, block or delete cookies in your browser

Every browser lets you view stored cookies, delete them and block third-party ones. The usual paths are:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari (macOS): Safari → Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data. On iOS: Settings → Safari → Block All Cookies.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
• Other browsers offer equivalent options in their privacy section. Private or incognito browsing deletes cookies when you close the window.

7. Who processes the data and international transfers

The measurement cookies described are managed by Google, which acts as a processor and may access the data from outside the European Economic Area. Those transfers rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and, in addition, on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

The data processing resulting from measurement is described in more detail in the Privacy policy, which also explains how to exercise your rights and how to complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency.

8. Changes to this policy

This policy is reviewed whenever the site's tools or the applicable law change. If any new cookie requiring consent were added, consent would be requested again before setting it.

The version in force is always the one published on this page, with the last-updated date shown in the header.
