1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember preferences, and (in some cases) measure performance.
2. How we use cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Essential functionality (e.g., basic site operations, security)
- Preference storage (e.g., language selection)
- Analytics (only if enabled and where applicable with consent)
If analytics is enabled, it should be configured in a privacy-aware way and (where required) activated only after consent.
3. Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Legal basis (EU) | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Site security, load balancing, basic features | Legitimate interest / necessary for service | Security cookies, session identifiers (if used) |
| Preferences | Remember choices (e.g., language) | Consent (in many cases) or legitimate interest for strictly necessary preferences | Language selection storage (e.g., localStorage / cookie) |
| Analytics | Measure website usage to improve content | Consent (where required) | Analytics identifiers (only if enabled) |
4. Cookies we may use on this site
The exact cookies depend on the features enabled on the site. Typical examples for an informational website:
4.1 Language preference
- Purpose: remember selected language (ES/EN)
- Type: preference storage
- Duration: until deleted by user (or a defined period)
- Example key: mc_lang (may be stored in localStorage)
4.2 Security / anti-abuse (if implemented)
- Purpose: protect forms and site from spam and abuse
- Type: essential / security
- Duration: short-term
4.3 Analytics (optional)
If enabled, analytics may set identifiers to understand aggregated usage (e.g., page views, time on page). This should be enabled only after consent where required.
5. Managing your cookie preferences
You can control cookies in multiple ways:
- Browser settings (block/delete cookies, clear site data)
- Private browsing mode (limits persistence)
- Site preference controls (if implemented)
If you want to reset your preference on this website, you can clear site data in your browser. If a cookie banner is implemented, you can also revisit your choices there.
Note: This action clears only the language preference stored by this site (if present). It does not clear other browser cookies.
6. Third-party cookies
We aim to minimize third-party tracking. If third-party services are used (e.g., embedded video platforms, analytics), they may set their own cookies. Where required, these are enabled only with consent and described in the relevant notices.
7. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. The “Last update” date will be revised accordingly.
