Cookie Policy
Last updated: 18 September 2026
1. What cookies are and what they are for
Cookies are small text files that a website installs in a user's browser or device during their visit. We also use a similar storage technology, the browser's local storage (localStorage), which serves an equivalent purpose. These technologies allow, among other things, recognising the user on subsequent visits, remembering their preferences (such as their decision about the use of cookies) and, if the user consents, obtaining aggregate statistics about the use of the website.
2. Types of cookies we use
Based on the entity that manages them:
- First-party cookies: installed from this website (elpegolete.es) and managed by us.
- Third-party cookies: installed from domains we do not manage, but another entity (in our case, Google LLC).
Based on their purpose:
- Technical or necessary cookies: allow the user to browse the website and use its basic functions, such as controlling traffic and data communication, or storing the preferences selected in the cookie panel. They are exempt from the consent requirement and are also referred to in this policy as functional cookies.
- Personalisation or preference cookies: allow information to be remembered so the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language or browser type.
- Analytics or measurement cookies: allow us to quantify the number of users and analyse, on an aggregate basis, how the website is used, in order to improve the service. They are also referred to in this policy as statistics cookies.
- Advertising cookies: allow the management of the website's advertising spaces and the adaptation of ad content based on how the website is used.
- Behavioural advertising cookies: store information about users' behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, in order to display advertising tailored to their profile. They are also referred to in this policy as marketing or tracking cookies.
Of these categories, this website only uses technical cookies and analytics cookies (see the next section). It does not use personalisation, advertising, or behavioural advertising cookies.
Based on their duration:
- Session cookies: automatically deleted when you close the browser.
- Persistent cookies: remain stored for the period indicated in the table in the next section.
3. Cookies used on this website and retention period
This website does not install analytics or third-party cookies until you accept their usein the cookie banner. If you reject or do not interact with the banner, only the technical storage needed to remember your decision is used.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pegolete_cookie_consent | El Pegolete (first-party) | Remember whether you accepted or rejected cookies, so the banner isn't shown again on every visit | Technical (browser local storage) | Persistent, until you change your decision or clear this site's data in your browser |
| _ga | Google Analytics (third-party) | Distinguish users to compile website usage statistics | Analytics | 2 years |
| _ga_<identifier> | Google Analytics (third-party) | Maintain session state for website usage statistics | Analytics | 2 years |
| Google Maps cookies | Google LLC (third-party) | Display the map embedded on the Contact page | Third-party | Managed by Google; see its cookie policy for the exact period |
Google Analytics cookies are only installed if you accept their use in the banner. Google Maps cookies are only installed if you also visit the Contact page and load the map. El Pegolete has no control over third-party cookies or their retention periods, which may change according to the provider's policy.
4. How to accept, reject or withdraw your consent
The first time you visit this website, a banner is shown where you can accept orreject the use of non-essential cookies.
- If you accept, Google Analytics cookies are activated, and, if you visit the Contact page, Google Maps cookies when the map loads.
- If you reject, only the essential technical storage is used; neither Google Analytics nor the Google map are loaded.
You can change your decision at any time by clicking the 🍪 button fixed in the bottom-left corner of the screen once you have accepted or rejected cookies. Clicking it shows the banner again so you can choose again.
You can also withdraw your consent at any time by deleting the cookies and browsing data stored by this site through your browser settings, or prevent their installation by configuring your browser to reject third-party cookies. Below are links to instructions for the most common browsers:
5. Changes to this cookie policy
This cookie policy may be updated in the future, for example if new analytics or marketing tools are added to the website. We recommend reviewing it periodically.
