Transparency in the use of cookies and user data protection

Last updated: 1 October 2026.

This page explains which cookies joseenrique.es uses, what each one is for and how long it stays on your device. Cookies are small text files that the site stores in your browser. Essential cookies are always used, because the site cannot work without them; analytics cookies are only used if you accept them in the banner.

In the table below you’ll find detailed information about each type of cookie we use, its purpose and how long it stays on your device. We are committed to respecting your privacy and offering full transparency about the data we collect. For more information about how we process your personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

Essential

Essential cookies enable basic functions and are necessary for the website to work correctly. These cookies are exempt from prior consent under article 22.2 LSSI-CE, as they are strictly necessary to provide the service expressly requested by the user.

Site language

Polylang plugin cookie that remembers which language you browse in (Spanish or English) so pages are shown in that language. It is needed to serve the correct version of the site.

Comments

WordPress may set these cookies when the user leaves a comment on the blog and expressly ticks the box “Save my name, email and website in this browser for the next time I comment”. They are only set after that explicit user action.

Statistics

Statistics cookies tell me which pages are visited and how the site is used, so I can improve it. They are never used for advertising. Their installation requires the user’s prior consent and they are only loaded after accepting the cookie banner.

Google Analytics 4

Web analytics service from Google Ireland Limited integrated via the Site Kit by Google plugin. It measures which pages are visited and how the site is used so it can be improved. No Google script is loaded until you accept statistics cookies; without that consent no data is sent to Google. More information in Google’s Privacy Policy.

_ga_8JRXW7YYLEMaintains the session state in the Google Analytics 4 property (G-8JRXW7YYLE).400 days

Microsoft Clarity

Behaviour analytics service from Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited that generates heatmaps and session recordings —with sensitive content masked by default— to understand how the site is used and improve the experience. The cookies are only loaded after the user’s express consent in the Statistics category. Microsoft may also set its own identifiers (such as CLID and MUID) on its domains, and the use of Clarity may involve the transfer of data to Microsoft outside the European Economic Area, with the safeguards provided for by the GDPR. More information in Microsoft’s Privacy Statement.
