Legal basis and provision of consent
Technical cookies are installed without the need for consent, as they are strictly necessary for the provision of the service (Article 22.2 of the LSSI). All other cookies will only be installed after obtaining the user’s free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent (Article 6.1.a of the GDPR), expressed through a clear affirmative action via the cookie settings panel.
On the first layer of the cookie banner, the user must be presented with three options displayed with the same level of visibility: accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies and configure their preferences by category, in accordance with the criteria set out in the Spanish Data Protection Agency’s Guide on the Use of Cookies (July 2023 version). Continuing to browse without interacting with the banner shall not, under any circumstances, be deemed to constitute acceptance of the use of non-exempt cookies.
International data transfers
Some of the third-party cookies mentioned (Google, Meta) involve the transfer of data to servers located outside the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States. These transfers are carried out under the safeguards set out in Chapter V of the GDPR, currently through these providers’ adherence to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or, alternatively, through standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. Users can find further information on these safeguards in each provider’s privacy policy.
