1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how SpainParks (operated at spainparks.info) collects and uses information when you visit this website. This site is a static informational website and does not operate user accounts, subscription services, or e-commerce functions.

2. Information Collected

2.1 Server Logs

Web servers routinely collect technical data for each page request, including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and the date and time of the request. This data is collected automatically by server infrastructure and is not linked to individual user identities.

2.2 Contact Form

The contact form on the About page collects the name, email address, phone number, and message text you enter. This form processes submissions client-side only and does not transmit data to a remote server. No personal data from the form is stored or processed externally.

2.3 Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses browser localStorage to store your cookie consent preference (accepted or rejected). This preference is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to any server. No third-party tracking cookies are set by this site.

If external resources such as fonts from Google Fonts are loaded, those third-party services may set their own cookies or collect data according to their own privacy policies.

3. External Resources

This site loads the following external resources:

  • Google Fonts — The Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces are loaded from Google's font CDN. Google's privacy policy applies to data collected during font delivery. See Google Privacy Policy.
  • Wikimedia Commons images — Article images are served directly from Wikimedia Commons servers. Requests for these images are subject to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy practices.

4. Third-Party Links

This site contains links to external websites including government portals, conservation organisation websites, and scientific institutions. These sites have their own privacy policies. SpainParks is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites.

5. Data Retention

This site does not retain personal data. Server log files are subject to the retention policies of the hosting provider. Contact form data is not stored or processed by this site.

6. Your Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regarding personal data that may be processed. Given that this site collects minimal data, the primary mechanism for managing your data is:

  • Clearing your browser's localStorage to remove cookie consent preferences stored on your device.
  • Contacting the hosting provider directly regarding server log data.

7. Cookies

This site uses a single localStorage entry to record your cookie consent choice. This is a functional storage item used solely to avoid re-displaying the consent banner on subsequent visits. It does not track your browsing behaviour.

You can remove this preference at any time by clearing your browser's site data or localStorage for this domain.

8. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated periodically. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

9. Contact

Enquiries about this privacy policy can be directed to [email protected] or via the contact form on the About page.
