2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work, improve their efficiency, and provide information to the website owner.
localStorage and sessionStorage are similar technologies built into your web browser that allow websites to store data on your device. localStorage persists until you clear it; sessionStorage is automatically cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and Spanish LSSI (Ley 34/2002 de Servicios de la Sociedad de la Informaci\u00f3n), localStorage and sessionStorage are subject to the same consent and disclosure requirements as traditional cookies.
3. Legal Basis
Our use of cookies and browser storage is governed by:
- LSSI (Ley 34/2002), Article 22: Requires informed consent before placing non-essential cookies or storage items on a user's device. Essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the service explicitly requested by the user are exempt from the consent requirement.
- GDPR (EU) 2016/679: Requires a valid lawful basis for processing personal data collected through cookies and storage items.
- ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC), Article 5(3): As transposed into Spanish law by LSSI Article 22.
- AEPD (Agencia Espa\u00f1ola de Protecci\u00f3n de Datos) guidelines: We follow the AEPD's cookie guidance, which requires clear categorisation, specific identification of each cookie, and granular consent for non-essential categories.
