Cookie policy
Last updated 8 October 2026
This page explains what this site stores on your device, why it is stored, and how long it stays. It covers cookies and the equivalent browser storage, which the law treats the same way.
Nothing that needs your permission is loaded before you give it. When you first arrive you see a banner with an equal choice to accept or reject. Analytics stays switched off unless you accept, and ignoring the banner counts as a rejection.
What is stored
| Purpose | What it does | Name | How long | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics (Google Analytics 4) | Counts visits and shows which pages people read, so I know what is worth expanding. It loads only after you accept. | _ga, _ga_<id> | Up to 2 years | Requires your consent |
| Your cookie choice | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, so you are not asked on every page. Stored in your browser, never sent to a server. | cc_consent_v1 (local storage, not a cookie) | 6 months, then you are asked again | Strictly necessary |
| Dashboard sign in | Keeps me signed in to my private operations dashboard. Visitors never receive it. | dash_auth | Until you sign out | Strictly necessary |
Changing your mind
You can withdraw or give consent whenever you like, and it takes effect straight away.
You can also clear cookies in your browser settings, which resets the choice. If you reject analytics, any Google Analytics cookie already on your device is deleted.
Who receives the data
Analytics data goes to Google, which acts as my processor and may transfer data outside the European Economic Area under the EU to US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. Addresses are anonymised before they reach the reports.
The site is hosted by Vercel, which keeps server logs for security and reliability.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask for a copy of your data, ask for it to be corrected or erased, object to how it is used, and complain to a supervisory authority. In Spain that is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos. For anything on this page, email me at hello@seoexpertinbarcelona.com.
