Cookie policy

Last updated:

This text sets out the site's terms. It is not legal advice and does not replace review by a professional.

1. Current situation

This version of the site sets no first-party or third-party cookies. It also loads no analytics or advertising script that could set them.

It does use two browser storage technologies, distinct from cookies. Local storage (localStorage) stores the market code you pick (two letters, for example ES or US), so you do not have to select it on every page, and it stays until you clear it. Session storage (sessionStorage) records whether you have dismissed the language or market suggestion banner, and disappears as soon as you close the tab. Both are usage preferences strictly necessary for the tool to work as designed: neither identifies anyone, is shared, or travels to a server.

The calculator forms store nothing, so reloading the page empties the fields. That is intentional.

2. What cookies are

A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device when you visit. It is used to remember information between pages or between visits: preferences, open sessions, or behavioural data for statistical or advertising purposes.

The rules distinguish technical or necessary cookies, essential for the site to function, from the rest — analytics, personalization and advertising — which require your prior, informed and revocable consent.

3. What will change in future

The site is prepared to add advertising later. It is not active now. The integration is already decided and described, so that it is not a surprise. Once AdSense is switched on:

  1. Advertising will be Google AdSense.
  2. Third-party vendors, including Google, will be able to use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to Profyza or to other websites.
  3. Google’s use of advertising cookies will enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to Profyza and/or other sites on the internet.
  4. You will be able to turn off personalized advertising from Google Ads Settings. That stops ads being personalized; it does not guarantee they stop being shown, and that page is maintained by Google, not by Profyza.
  5. If other vendors or ad networks take part, they will be identified in the consent platform, which will show their purposes and let you review them and manage your options before you give or refuse consent.
  6. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland consent will be managed by a consent management platform (CMP) certified by Google and integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF): Google’s “Privacy & messaging”. There will be no home-made banner, because a custom notice does not replace a certified platform.
  7. The message will offer accept, refuse and manage options, in Spanish and English.
  8. You will be able to change or withdraw your choice afterwards, from the privacy settings link that will appear on this same page.
  9. Before any ad is served, and under the project’s current design, no ad will be requested without the corresponding consent signal: neither personalized nor non-personalized. If you do not answer, if you refuse, or if the message cannot be shown, there will be no advertising.
  10. Refusing consent will not prevent you from using the calculators: they will work the same with any answer.
  11. At that point this page will be updated to describe what happens, not what happens now.

This page is not a guarantee of compliance: it is an honest description of a situation in which there simply are no third-party cookies yet. Once there are, compliance will depend on configuring the consent platform correctly and keeping this information current.

4. Controlling storage in your browser

You can clear cookies, local storage and session storage for any site from your browser's privacy settings. If you clear this site's local storage, it simply forgets the market you had chosen and falls back to the language's default; session storage, on top of that, clears itself as soon as you close the tab.

5. More information

See the privacy policy for the detail of data processing, and the about page for the criteria under which advertising will be enabled.
