These are only set with your consent. Marketing cookies — used to measure campaign effectiveness and personalise content. These are only set with your consent.

Contact form submissions — up to 2 years. Analytics data — up to 14 months (anonymised thereafter). Newsletter subscribers — until you unsubscribe.

After these periods, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

Under the GDPR (and applicable Spanish data protection law), you have the right to:

Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data. Erasure — request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
