What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice. Similar technologies, such as browser storage (local storage and session storage), work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy as well.
Cookies can be classified in several ways:
- By owner. First-party cookies are set by this website. Third-party cookies are set by a different organisation whose services we use.
- By purpose. Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to work. Analytics cookies measure how the website is used. Preference cookies remember choices you make. Advertising cookies build a profile of your interests. This website does not use preference or advertising cookies.
- By duration. Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the period set by their owner.
Cookies and technologies used on this website
Strictly necessary
These are required for the website to function and to honour your choices. They are exempt from consent under Article 22.2 of the LSSI-CE and do not require your authorisation.
- cc_cookie (first-party cookie). Stores the choices you make in the cookie banner, so that we do not ask you again and so that scripts you have rejected are not loaded. Duration: 6 months.
- Scroll position (first-party session storage). Remembers how far you had scrolled on a page so that the same position is restored when you return to it using the browser navigation. Duration: until you close the browser tab. It contains no personal data.
Analytics
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are most visited and how people arrive at the site. The information is aggregated and used only to improve the website. They are loaded only if you accept them in the cookie banner.
- _ga (third-party cookie, Google Analytics). Assigns a random identifier to distinguish visitors. Duration: 2 years.
- _ga_T4SMVQTKJ1 (third-party cookie, Google Analytics). Keeps the state of the current session for this website's Google Analytics property. Duration: 2 years.
Google Analytics 4 is provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses, and the data collected may be processed by Google LLC in the United States. Such transfers are covered by Google's certification under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework and by the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. You can read more in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in its explanation of how Google uses data from sites that use its services (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).
Third-party content that does not set cookies
Some content is delivered from servers operated by other companies. When your browser downloads that content, those companies receive the technical information needed to serve it, such as your IP address, browser type and the time of the request. None of these services sets cookies on your device through this website.
- Video is hosted by Mux, Inc. (stream.mux.com and image.mux.com). Videos are played directly as MP4 files with the browser's own player. No Mux tracking script is loaded.
- Images are served by Sanity AS through its content delivery network (cdn.sanity.io).
- Hosting is provided by Netlify, Inc., which keeps standard server logs for security and operational purposes.
Fonts are hosted on our own servers, so no request is sent to a font provider.
Legal basis
Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a website that works and that respects the choices you have made. Analytics cookies are used only with your consent, which you give or refuse through the cookie banner. Refusing them has no effect on your ability to use the website.
How to give, refuse or withdraw consent
When you first visit the website, a banner lets you accept or reject the analytics cookies with a single click. Both options are equally visible and require the same effort. If you do nothing, no analytics cookies are set.
You can change your mind at any time:
- Withdraw consent. Delete the cookies for externalreference.com from your browser (see the instructions below). The banner will appear again on your next visit and you can choose differently. Analytics cookies that were set before are removed when you reject them.
- Block cookies in your browser. All modern browsers allow you to refuse all or some cookies, delete existing ones, or be notified when a cookie is set. Instructions for the most common browsers: Google Chrome (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647), Mozilla Firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop), Apple Safari (https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac), Microsoft Edge (https://support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge-63947406-6a9d-2d02-d9d7-2b2a5b1f6cb2) and Safari on iPhone and iPad (https://support.apple.com/HT201265).
- Opt out of Google Analytics everywhere. Google offers a browser add-on that prevents Google Analytics from collecting data on any website (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.
In line with the AEPD's guidance, we will ask for your consent again at the latest 24 months after you last gave it, or earlier if we change the cookies we use.
Your rights
Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, you have the right to access, rectify and erase that data, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw any consent you have given without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. You can exercise these rights by writing to studio@externalreference.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, www.aepd.es) if you consider that your rights have not been respected.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in the applicable law. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. If the changes are significant, the cookie banner will be shown again so that you can review your choices.
