Information about the use of cookies on the www.pcuv.es website.
What are cookies?
Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your computer through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in the provision of many services of the information society. Among others, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their equipment and, depending on the information obtained, they can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.
What types of cookies does our website use?
Depending on the entity that manages them:
● First-party cookies: are cookies for which the website publisher is responsible. They are generally sent from a device or domain managed by the publisher to provide the service requested by the user.
● Third-party cookies: are cookies for which an entity other than the publisher is responsible. They may be served from that entity’s domain or from the publisher’s own domain. Where the third party uses the information for its own purposes, the cookies are not considered first-party cookies.
Depending on the length of time they remain activated:
● Session Cookies: are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data while you access our website.
● Persistent cookies: remain stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a specified period, ranging from a few minutes to several years.
According to their purpose:
● Technical cookies: are necessary for navigation and the operation of our website. They maintain security, protect forms and remember the user’s cookie choices.
● Personalisation cookies: remember user settings or preferences. External content services may use these technologies and are loaded when the “Analytics and external content” category is allowed.
● Analytics cookies: are processed by us or by third parties to count visitors and analyse how our website is used, so that we can improve the services we offer.
What is stored for each choice?
Analytics and external content services remain blocked until you make a choice. Technical security cookies may be used depending on the pages and resources you visit.
● Reject optional cookies: necessary technical cookies are used, and your rejection is recorded through cookie_consent_level and cookie_consent_user_accepted. Google Analytics, HubSpot tracking and YouTube and iVoox players are not loaded.
● Accept only necessary cookies: saving your settings with optional categories disabled has the same result as rejecting them.
● Accept all: in addition to technical cookies, analytics and external content services are allowed to load. The cookies installed depend on the page visited, the services used and your browser settings.
Cookies used on our website
The following table identifies the provider, purpose and duration of each cookie. Analytics cookies can only be activated when you allow the “Analytics and external content” category. Some cookies from third-party services are stored under the pcuv.es domain.

Forms and external content
This website uses HubSpot to provide subscription forms. These forms and their technical security functions may be available without accepting HubSpot analytics tracking.
Forms use Google reCAPTCHA to protect against automated abuse. You can consult the provider’s information about cookies and risk analysis.
YouTube videos are embedded using privacy-enhanced mode. These videos and iVoox players load only when you allow “Analytics and external content”. They may use cookies and browser storage; privacy-enhanced mode does not exclude these technologies.
These services may display their own consent notices. More information is available from Google / YouTube and in the iVoox cookie policy.
When you follow links to social networks or other external websites, you access services governed by their own cookie and privacy policies.
Acceptance of the cookie policy
The website asks for your choice through its cookie notice. Continuing to browse or closing the settings panel without saving does not mean that you accept optional cookies.
You can accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or configure your preferences and save your selection. Necessary cookies remain active to provide the website’s basic functions.
Your choice is stored for 62 days from your last saved decision. Browsing alone does not renew this period. When it expires, you will be asked to choose again.
Select Configure cookies to review the categories and save your preferences.
Withdrawing consent and deleting cookies
You can change your choice or withdraw consent at any time using the Configure cookies button on this page or in the footer. To keep only necessary cookies, disable optional categories and save your changes.
When you withdraw consent, analytics cookies accessible to this website are deleted, and the page reloads to stop services that were already running. Cookies from other domains and other data stored by third parties can be removed through your browser settings.
You can allow, block or delete cookies using your browser settings:
● Firefox.
● Chrome.
● Safari.
● Opera.
If you block necessary cookies in your browser, some features may become unavailable. If you reject optional cookies, you can continue browsing, although external players will remain blocked until you allow their category.
For further information, consult the Spanish Data Protection Agency’s guide on the use of cookies.
