Consent & Legal Basis by Jurisdiction
4.1 — EU / EEA (GDPR + ePrivacy Directive)
We are required to obtain freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous prior consent before placing any non-essential cookies. We present “Accept All” and “Reject All” with equal prominence. Consent boxes are never pre-ticked. We maintain records of your consent. The AEPD (Spain) actively enforces these requirements; our banner is designed to comply fully with AEPD guidelines.
4.2 — UK (UK GDPR + PECR)
Substantively the same requirements as Section 4.1. The ICO oversees compliance. We comply with UK PECR in full.
4.3 — United States
- California (CCPA/CPRA): A “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link is in our website footer. We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals from California users automatically.
- Other US states: We honour opt-out requests from users in Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, Montana, and other states with applicable privacy laws.
4.4 — Canada
Express consent is required for advertising cookies. Our Cookie Consent Banner obtains express consent before activating advertising cookies for Canadian users.
4.5 — Australia
Cookies that collect personal data are subject to Australian Privacy Principles. We apply the same consent standards for Australian users as for Canadian users.

5.5 — Global Privacy Control (GPC)
We recognise and honour GPC signals. If your browser is configured to send a GPC signal, we will treat it as an opt-out of the sale and sharing of personal data under applicable US state privacy laws (including CCPA/CPRA). This applies automatically.
5.6 — Do Not Track (DNT)
There is no universally accepted standard for DNT signals. We recommend using our Cookie Consent Banner or a GPC-enabled browser to manage your preferences. We honour GPC signals but do not currently alter practices in response to DNT alone.
