1. General information
The website www.fundacionaquero.com, owned by FUNDACIÓN AQUERO, is a static website. In its current configuration it does not install its own cookies while the user browses it and does not load third-party resources automatically.
This policy explains what cookies are, what types exist, what external content may be loaded on this website and how the user can block or delete them from their browser.
The website does not use analytics, advertising or personalisation tools, does not create profiles, does not require logging in and does not install any tracking cookies. The only information saved on the device is the language preference that the user may select manually through the language selector, which is stored in the browser's local storage (localStorage) and is described in section 5.

3. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that are downloaded to the user's device when they access certain websites.
These files allow, among other things, a website to function correctly, remember certain browsing preferences or collect statistical information about how the site is used.
In addition to cookies, there are similar technologies, such as browser local storage (localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB), pixels or tags. This policy refers to cookies in a broad sense, including those technologies.
4. Types of cookies
As a general rule, websites may use the following types of cookies. None of them is currently installed on this website except as indicated in the following section:
- Technical or necessary cookies: essential for the website to function correctly. They do not require the user's consent.
- Preference or personalisation cookies: remember options such as language or visual settings. They are only installed with consent.
- Analytics or measurement cookies: allow us to understand how the website is used for statistical purposes. They are only installed with express consent.
- Advertising or profiling cookies: used to display personalised advertising or create browsing profiles. This website does not use them.
- Third-party cookies: installed from external domains by external content providers, as happens with the YouTube player when the user plays the music.
The language preference on this website is not stored in a cookie but in the browser's local storage (localStorage), as explained in section 5.
5. Cookies and storage used on this website
In the current configuration of the website, no cookies of its own are installed when browsing and no third-party resources are loaded automatically. Fonts, images, videos and code are served from this same domain. The only local storage used is the one that saves the language selected manually by the user, so that the site opens in that language on subsequent visits. The table summarises the three situations that may arise today:
| Origin | Owner | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Website's own resources | FUNDACIÓN AQUERO | No cookies | The website does not install its own cookies: there is no session, analytics or personalisation. | Not applicable |
| Language preference (localStorage) | FUNDACIÓN AQUERO | Technical / preference (local storage, not a cookie) | Remembers the language chosen manually by the user (Spanish or English) so that the website opens in that language. It is not used for tracking. | Until the user deletes the browser's site data |
| Music player (embedded YouTube content) | YouTube (Google Ireland Ltd.) | Third-party | Plays the song when the user presses the play button. No request is sent to YouTube before that action. | Managed by YouTube, in accordance with its own policy |
FUNDACIÓN AQUERO will review this table if the website's configuration changes. If its own cookies were introduced in the future — for example, analytics or preference cookies — they would be detailed in this section and the user's prior consent would be requested.
6. Consent
The website does not display a cookie panel because, while the user browses, no cookie requiring consent is installed and no kind of tracking is carried out. The language preference is only saved when the user chooses a language manually; it is a technical storage used solely to remember that choice, and it is not used for tracking or profiling.
If non-essential cookies were introduced in the future, a configuration panel would be displayed on the first visit allowing the user to:
- Accept all cookies.
- Reject all non-essential cookies.
- Configure their preferences by category.
Until such consent is given, those cookies would not be installed.
7. Third-party content and external links
The only external source on this website is the music player on the home page: only when the user presses the play button is a YouTube player inserted (domain www.youtube-nocookie.com) and contact made with Google's servers, which may install cookies or store information on the device. Those who do not wish this to happen do not need to press the play button: the rest of the website works normally without it.
The website also contains outbound links to third-party sites, which open in a new tab:
- YouTube: the “Listen to the song” link, next to the music player.
- WhatsApp: contact channel with the Foundation.
- encuentros.fundacionaquero.com: gatherings calendar, with its own cookie policy.
Once outside this website, those sites are governed by their own cookie policies and FUNDACIÓN AQUERO does not control what they install on the user's device.
8. How to block or delete cookies
The user can allow, block or delete cookies and local storage installed on their device through the settings of the browser they use.
Below are the general configuration paths in the most common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Settings > Privacy > Cookies and website data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions.
On this website, blocking third-party storage only affects music playback: the rest of the content is displayed normally. Deleting local storage only means that the website will not remember the manually selected language and will use the browser language again.
9. International data transfers
The embedded content of the music player comes from a provider based outside the European Economic Area. When the user plays the music, their IP address and other connection data may be communicated to that provider.
FUNDACIÓN AQUERO will endeavour to ensure that, if new external resources are added, transfers are carried out with the appropriate guarantees provided by data protection legislation, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.
Specific information about these transfers should be consulted in the privacy and cookie policies of the corresponding providers.
10. Updates to the cookie policy
FUNDACIÓN AQUERO may modify this policy when there are changes in the website's configuration, in the external content incorporated or in applicable legislation.
The updated version will be published on this same page, indicating the date of its last review.
