This Cookie Policy explains how APSAIDAL uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with the website.
Last updated: 6 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how APSAIDAL uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with the website.
It explains what these technologies are, why they may be used, which technologies require your consent and how you can manage or withdraw your choices.
This Policy should be read together with our Legal Notice, Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Cookies are small data files that a website or third-party service may store on or retrieve from your device when you visit a website.
APSAIDAL may also use technologies that perform similar functions, such as local storage or other browser-based storage mechanisms.
These technologies can serve different purposes, including enabling essential website functions, remembering user choices or allowing external content such as videos and maps to be displayed.
Some of these technologies may involve the processing of personal data, such as IP addresses, device information or information about interactions with a service.
APSAIDAL distinguishes between technologies that are necessary for the website to operate and optional technologies that require the user’s permission.
The current consent categories are:
Always active
Essential cookies and similar technologies are necessary for the basic operation, security and functionality of the website.
They may be used for purposes such as:
Because these technologies are necessary to provide the website or a service requested by the user, they do not require consent where the applicable legal exemption applies.
They are not used by APSAIDAL for advertising purposes.
Optional — requires permission
APSAIDAL may include third-party content such as:
These services are provided by third parties and may use cookies, local storage, network identifiers or other technologies when their content is loaded.
They may also receive information such as your IP address, browser or device information and the page from which their content is accessed.
For this reason, APSAIDAL blocks optional external-media technologies until you give permission through the consent mechanism where consent is required.
If you reject non-essential cookies, external content requiring these technologies may remain blocked or be replaced by a placeholder.
If you later enable External media, the relevant third-party service may load and process information according to its own privacy and cookie practices.
APSAIDAL may embed videos hosted by YouTube.
YouTube is a third-party service operated by Google. When a YouTube embed is enabled, Google may receive technical information and may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with its own policies.
APSAIDAL seeks to prevent optional YouTube technologies from loading until the user has enabled External media where consent is required.
APSAIDAL may embed videos hosted by Vimeo.
When Vimeo content is enabled, Vimeo may receive technical information and may use cookies or similar technologies according to its own policies.
APSAIDAL seeks to prevent optional Vimeo technologies from loading until the user has enabled External media where consent is required.
APSAIDAL may use Google Maps to display geographical or location-based information.
When a Google Maps embed is enabled, Google may process technical information and use cookies or similar technologies according to its own policies.
APSAIDAL seeks to prevent optional Google Maps technologies from loading until the user has enabled External media where consent is required.
APSAIDAL does not currently use optional analytics cookies through its consent configuration.
If analytics technologies requiring consent are introduced in the future, this Cookie Policy and the consent interface will be updated before or when those technologies are activated as required.
Essential technical information processed for website operation, security or server administration is not necessarily equivalent to optional analytics tracking.
APSAIDAL does not currently use advertising or behavioural advertising cookies through its consent configuration.
APSAIDAL does not currently activate advertising trackers through the cookie banner.
If this changes in the future, users will be informed and any technologies requiring consent will not be activated before the required choice has been obtained.
When you first visit APSAIDAL, the consent interface allows you to:
Accept all
Allows essential technologies and the optional categories presented in the consent interface.
Reject non-essential
Allows only essential technologies.
Customize
Allows you to review the available categories and make a more specific choice.
Essential technologies cannot be disabled through the consent interface where they are required for the website to function.
Rejecting optional technologies does not prevent normal access to APSAIDAL, although some third-party content such as videos or interactive maps may not be available until the relevant category is enabled.
You can change or withdraw your consent to non-essential technologies at any time.
Use Cookie Settings to reopen the consent controls and review your choices.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before it was withdrawn.
Cookie Settings is a consent control and does not lead to a separate legal page.
Where optional third-party content requires consent, APSAIDAL seeks to prevent the relevant service from loading until the required permission has been obtained.
This is particularly relevant for services such as YouTube, Vimeo and Google Maps.
If consent has not been given, the corresponding external content may therefore be unavailable or replaced by a notice or placeholder.
If you later enable the External media category, the content may load according to the technical implementation of the website.
Once a third-party service has been enabled, that provider may process information independently according to its own terms and privacy practices.
APSAIDAL does not control the internal operation of third-party platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo or Google Maps.
For further information about personal-data processing and possible international transfers, see our Privacy Policy.
Some external technology providers may process information outside Spain or the European Economic Area.
Where APSAIDAL itself is responsible for a transfer subject to the GDPR, appropriate transfer mechanisms will be used where required.
Third-party providers may also rely on their own applicable transfer mechanisms.
Further information is available in our Privacy Policy.
The cookies and similar technologies actually used by APSAIDAL depend on the functionality active on the website and on the user’s consent choices.
Before final production launch, this section will contain or reference the current technical inventory resulting from the website’s cookie scan, including, where applicable:
| Information | What will be identified |
|---|---|
| Cookie / technology | Name of the cookie or storage technology |
| Provider | APSAIDAL or relevant third party |
| Purpose | Why the technology is used |
| Category | Essential or External media |
| Duration | Session or stated storage period |
| Third party | Whether it is provided by another service |
[TO BE COMPLETED AFTER FINAL PRODUCTION COOKIE SCAN]
The inventory should be reviewed when technologies, integrations or providers change.
Most web browsers also allow users to delete or block cookies through their browser settings.
Browser controls operate independently from APSAIDAL’s consent mechanism.
Disabling all cookies at browser level may affect essential functionality and may cause parts of the website or other websites to work incorrectly.
Using APSAIDAL’s Cookie Settings is the recommended way to manage APSAIDAL’s optional consent categories.
APSAIDAL’s consent-management system may store information necessary to remember the choice made by a user and to avoid repeatedly requesting the same preference.
These technologies are treated as essential where they are necessary to record and respect the user’s cookie choice.
Consent preferences may be requested again where appropriate, for example following material changes to the technologies or purposes used on the website, expiry of the relevant consent period or deletion of the relevant browser storage.
The use of storage and access technologies on APSAIDAL is subject to applicable Spanish and European privacy and electronic-communications rules.
Non-essential technologies requiring consent are not intended to be activated until the user has made the corresponding choice.
Essential technologies may operate without consent where the applicable legal exemption permits their use.
Where the use of a technology also involves processing personal data, the requirements of applicable data-protection law apply.
APSAIDAL may update this Cookie Policy where necessary, including when new technologies or providers are introduced, existing technologies are removed, the purposes for which technologies are used change, the consent mechanism is modified or applicable legislation or regulatory guidance changes.
The current version will always be published on this page with its latest update date.
Where a change requires a new consent choice, APSAIDAL will request that choice through the consent mechanism as appropriate.
