Cookie Policy

1. What is a cookie and what is it NOT?

A cookie is a small, harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. Its purpose is to allow the website to remember your visit when you browse that page again, adapting content to your profile and needs. A cookie is NOT a virus, Trojan, worm, spam, spyware, or a pop-up window. Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards, bank details, photographs or your ID document; the data they store is technical in nature, such as personal preferences, content customisation, usage statistics, etc. The web server does not associate you as a person, but rather with your web browser.

2. What happens if you disable cookies?

To understand the scope of disabling cookies, here are some examples of what you will not be able to do:

  • Share website content on social media.
  • Adapt content to your personal preferences.
  • Access the personal area of the website (My account, My profile, My bookings).
  • Personalise geographic preferences such as time zone, currency or language.
  • The website will not be able to perform analytics on visitors and traffic, making it harder to improve its competitiveness.
  • You will not be able to interact with forms, upload photos, post comments or rate content, and the website will not be able to distinguish whether you are a human user or a spam bot.

3. Types of cookies according to purpose and origin

  • Technical cookies: These are the most basic cookies and allow the website to function properly (knowing whether a human or bot is browsing, maintaining sessions, etc.).
  • Analytics cookies: These collect information about user behaviour (most visited sections, time spent on the site, language) in order to introduce improvements.
  • Advertising cookies: These display advertising based on your browsing activity, country, language, etc.
  • First-party cookies: These are generated by the website you are visiting (www.laforetlanguages.com).
  • Third-party cookies: These are generated by external services or providers (such as Google, Facebook, Twitter/X, etc.).

4. Cookies used on this website

Following the guidelines of the Spanish Data Protection Agency, we detail the use of cookies on this website owned by Laforet Group S.L..

  • First-party technical cookie cookie_consent: Stores the choice to accept or reject non-essential cookies for one year so it does not have to be requested on every visit.
  • Google reCAPTCHA: It is loaded only when the user voluntarily submits a form, after accepting the privacy policy. It is used as a security measure to detect automated submissions. Google may process technical data such as the IP address and browser information in accordance with its privacy policy.
  • Analytics and social media: Google Analytics is not currently loaded and no social widgets that install cookies are embedded. If non-essential analytics are enabled in the future, they will load only after consent has been obtained.
