Cookies

On this website, we collect and use information as indicated in our privacy policy. One of the ways we collect information is through the use of a technology called “Cookies.” At Pedro Castro Estudio, we use cookies for various purposes.

What is a cookie?

A “cookie” is a small amount of text that is stored in your browser (such as Google Chrome or Apple Safari) when you visit most websites.

What is not a cookie?

It is not a virus, nor a trojan, nor a worm, nor spam, nor spyware, nor does it open pop-up windows.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies usually do not store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or banking details, photographs, or personal information, etc. The data they collect is technical, statistical, related to personal preferences, content personalization, and so on.

The web server does not associate you as a person but rather associates your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Chrome and then browse the same website with Firefox, you will see that the site does not realize you are the same person because it actually links the information to the browser, not the individual.

Use of Cookies in YouTube Videos

On our website, we use YouTube videos embedded through the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). By default, YouTube uses cookies to track user activity and personalize the experience, even if users do not interact directly with the video.

To protect your privacy and comply with data protection regulations, we have implemented a cookie-blocking system for YouTube videos. This means that:

  • YouTube videos will not load automatically on our website.
  • Instead, a preview image of the video will be displayed along with a play button.
  • Only when the user clicks the button will the video load from YouTube, and at that moment, YouTube may set cookies on your device.

Third-Party Cookies Associated with YouTube

When a YouTube video is allowed to play, the platform may set third-party cookies, such as:

  • GPS: Used to track the user’s location (expires after 30 minutes).
  • PREF: Stores user preferences such as language and playback settings (expires after 8 months).
  • YSC: Assigns a unique session identifier to track video views (deleted when the browser is closed).
  • VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE: Attempts to estimate the user’s bandwidth to improve playback quality (expires after 6 months).

Can cookies be disabled or deleted?

Yes, either for a specific domain or entirely.
To delete cookies from a particular website, go to your browser’s settings and there you can search for cookies associated with the specific domain and delete them.

More information about cookies

You can consult the cookie regulations published by the Spanish Data Protection Agency in its “Guide on the use of cookies” (in Spanish) and learn more about cookies on the AboutCookies.org website.

If you want greater control over the installation of cookies, you can install programs or browser add-ons, known as “Do Not Track” tools, which allow you to choose which cookies you want to allow.
