What they are and what they do
What are cookies? A cookie is a file downloaded onto your computer, tablet, phone or other device (hereinafter, device) when you access our website.
Generally, and depending on their type, cookies allow information about your visit and browsing habits to be stored and retrieved, and allow you to be recognised as a returning visitor, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful.
Cookies may be "first-party" — sent to your device from a domain managed by Gestión Externa de Sistemas, S.L. — or "third-party" — sent from a domain managed by another entity, such as our analytics provider. They may also be "session" cookies, which expire when you leave our site, or "persistent" cookies, which remain stored for a longer period.
What kinds of cookies does this website use?
Technical cookies: these are necessary for the website to work properly, for example for the navigation menu to function correctly. They do not require your consent.
Analytics cookies: these allow us to track and analyse how people use our site (for example, the number of pages visited, where the visit came from, or time spent on the site). We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose. These cookies are only set if you give us your consent through the notice shown on your first visit.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users anonymously. | 2 years |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Keeps the analytics session state. | 2 years |
Contact form protection (reCAPTCHA)
The contact form is protected with reCAPTCHA, a Google service that tells people apart from automated submissions. Without it, a contact inbox left open on the internet fills up with junk mail within days.
To work, reCAPTCHA loads a component hosted on Google servers and stores a cookie belonging to that service in your browser. Google also receives your IP address and data about your interaction with the page, and uses them to decide whether the request looks automated. This processing is governed by Google's terms and privacy policy.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _GRECAPTCHA | Telling people apart from automated submissions when the contact form is sent. | As set by Google in its service documentation |
This is a security measure necessary to provide the very service you request by sending us the form, and it only comes into play on the pages that contain it: if you are not going to write to us, reCAPTCHA plays no part in your browsing.
Local storage: what we keep in your browser
Besides cookies, this site stores two items in your browser's local storage. They are not cookies in the strict sense: unlike a cookie, they are not sent to the server with every request, so the information never leaves your device. Neither of them allows us to identify you, and neither is combined with other data.
| Item | Purpose | Content | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| iso-consent | Remembering whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we do not ask again on every visit. | A single word: accepted or rejected. | Until you clear the site data |
| iso-academia-progreso | Remembering which Academy chapters you marked as read, so we can show you where you left off. | The list of chapters marked and the date you marked them. | Until you clear the site data or press "Clear all my progress" |
Both are technical in nature and respond to an action of yours — accepting the notice, marking a chapter — so they require no further consent. If your browser has local storage blocked, the site still works normally: the cookie notice will reappear on every visit and the Academy will not remember your progress.
You can clear your reading progress whenever you like using the "Clear all my progress" button on the Academy home page, or remove both items at once by clearing the site data in your browser settings.
Allowing, withdrawing and deleting cookies
The first time you browse our site we inform you about the use of cookies through a notice where you can accept or reject the installation of analytics cookies. Until you give your consent, Google Analytics is not loaded and no third-party cookie is set.
You can change your decision whenever you like using the button below: withdrawing permission takes no more effort than giving it, and the notice will reappear so you can choose again. Bear in mind that the decision is stored in your browser's local storage, so clearing cookies alone does not undo it.
You can also allow, block or delete cookies through your browser settings; bear in mind that if you block them all you may not be able to access some sections of the site.
Below you will find information on how to configure cookie options in the most common browsers:
Google also offers a browser opt-out add-on that prevents your data being used by Google Analytics on any website:
