DRAFT — not published, not linked. Contains [PENDING] placeholders to be completed with real data and requires legal review before publishing.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on a user’s browser or device when they visit it. Among other things, they allow information about a user’s or their device’s browsing habits to be stored and retrieved, and depending on the information they contain and how they are used, they can be used to recognize the user.
[PENDING — IMPORTANT: the following table is an indicative template based on the tools commonly used in WooCommerce/WordPress stores similar to this one. Before publishing, it must be verified against the consent banner (CMP) installed, or through technical inspection of the site, which of these cookies are actually active, adding/removing rows as needed. Do not publish this table without that verification, since declaring cookies that are not used (or failing to declare ones that are) breaches the Spanish Data Protection Agency’s (AEPD) Cookie Guide.]

[PENDING: this section depends directly on whether a consent banner/manager (CMP) is installed on the site. Complete with ONE of the following two options:]
Option A — if a CMP is already installed: “The first time you visit this website, a cookie settings panel is shown where you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or configure your preferences granularly by category. You can return to these settings at any time by clicking [PENDING: cookie management link/button, usually in the footer].”
Option B — if a CMP is NOT yet installed: one must be installed before publishing this policy, since the AEPD’s Cookie Guide requires that rejecting non-essential cookies be as easy as accepting them, which cannot be guaranteed without a dedicated consent manager.
Additionally, users can configure their browser to block or delete installed cookies:
Users can withdraw their consent to the use of non-essential cookies at any time by returning to the cookie settings panel [PENDING: specific link once the CMP is installed], or by deleting already-stored cookies from their browser settings as described in the section above.
Last updated: [PENDING: publication date]. This document is a template generated to fit Hogarlab’s activity and does not replace review by a professional qualified in this area of law before publication. It is especially important to verify the actual list of cookies before publishing, as an incorrect declaration may constitute a regulatory breach.
