What cookies are

A cookie is a small data file that a website stores in a visitor's browser or device and can read back later. Alongside cookies there are other local storage technologies that serve equivalent purposes, and this same policy applies to them.

Cookies can be classified according to several criteria.

• By who manages them: first-party cookies, set by the website itself, or third-party cookies, set from domains that do not belong to the owner.
• By how long they last: session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed, or persistent cookies, which remain for a set period.
• By their purpose: technical or necessary cookies, essential for the site to work, and analytics cookies, used to measure and analyse how the site is used.

Cookies used on this website

Set out below, by category, are the cookies and similar technologies that may be generated while browsing ikbell.es, along with their purpose and who installs them.

The website does not use advertising cookies or cookies for commercial profiling. There are no online purchases, no user accounts and no commercial mailings or newsletters.

• Technical or necessary. WordPress session: first-party cookies that maintain the browsing state and page security for the duration of the visit. Set by the website itself.
• Technical or necessary. WooCommerce (woocommerce_*, wp_woocommerce_session_*): first-party cookies generated by the system used to display the service catalogue and its prices. Set by the website itself.
• Technical or necessary. Polylang (pll_language): a first-party cookie that remembers the language chosen by the visitor (Spanish, Russian or English) so the site is shown in that language. Set by the website itself.
• Technical or necessary. LiteSpeed cache: first-party cookies that allow cached pages to be served correctly and speed up loading. Set by the website itself.
• Analytics. Google Analytics 4, cookies _ga and _ga_* linked to measurement ID G-J4LBQNC21H, loaded via googletagmanager.com: they distinguish visitors, count visits and show which pages are viewed most, in order to improve the site. Set by Google. Duration: 2 years.
• Third-party. Google Maps: the map embedded on the Contact page loads from Google's servers, which may set their own cookies and receive the visitor's IP address. Set by Google.
• Third-party. Google Fonts: the site's typefaces load from fonts.googleapis.com, which may involve Google setting cookies and receiving the visitor's IP address. Set by Google.
• Third-party. Content delivery networks (cdn.jsdelivr.net and ajax.googleapis.com): technical files needed to display the site are loaded from them, which means the provider receives the visitor's IP address.
• External links. Buttons leading to WhatsApp (wa.me) or Instagram do not set cookies on ikbell.es, but once the visitor reaches those services, the cookie and privacy policies of their respective owners apply.

Consent: exempt cookies and cookies that require it

Under article 22.2 of the LSSI-CE, technical or necessary cookies, that is, those strictly essential to provide the service requested by the visitor, do not require consent and are set from the outset.

All other cookies, both the Google Analytics 4 analytics cookies and any that Google Maps and Google Fonts may set, require the visitor's prior, freely given, specific and informed consent. That consent is given through a clear affirmative action; it is not deemed granted merely by continuing to browse, nor by failing to react to a notice.

Refusing these cookies is just as easy as accepting them and has no consequences for access to the site's content or for the ability to book an appointment by phone or WhatsApp.

How to withdraw or change your consent

Consent may be withdrawn at any time, just as easily as it was given, without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out beforehand.

To review or change your choice you can use the site's cookie settings panel, available at #ikb-cookies. In any case, you can always block or delete cookies directly from your browser, as explained in the next section.

How to delete or block cookies in your browser

Every browser lets you view stored cookies, delete them and decide whether to accept or block them. The exact path may vary depending on the version and the operating system, but the options are usually found in the menus listed below.

In addition, most browsers offer a private or incognito browsing mode, which deletes the session's cookies when the window is closed.

• Google Chrome: three-dot menu, Settings, Privacy and security, Cookies and other site data; to delete cookies already stored, Privacy and security, Clear browsing data.
• Safari on macOS: Safari menu, Settings or Preferences, Privacy tab, where you can block cookies and, under Manage Website Data, delete the ones already saved. On iPhone and iPad: system Settings, Safari, Clear History and Website Data.
• Mozilla Firefox: three-line menu, Settings, Privacy & Security, Cookies and Site Data section, with options to clear data, manage exceptions and choose the level of protection.
• Microsoft Edge: three-dot menu, Settings, Cookies and site permissions to block them, and Privacy, search, and services, Choose what to clear to delete them.
• On mobile devices, the same options are found in the browser settings or, in the case of Safari, in the system settings.

What happens if you disable cookies

If you block technical cookies, the site may stop working properly: the language you selected will not carry over between pages, the service catalogue and its prices may not display as they should, and some pages may load incompletely or more slowly.

If you refuse analytics cookies, you can browse the whole site completely normally; we will simply no longer have aggregated statistics on how the pages are used.

If you block third-party cookies and content, the map on the Contact page may not appear and the typefaces may be replaced by your browser's defaults, none of which prevents you from reading the information or contacting the salon by phone, WhatsApp or email.

Processing of personal data and your rights

The information obtained through analytics and third-party cookies may include personal data, such as browser identifiers or the IP address. The controller of the processing arising from first-party cookies is IK Bell Estética Avanzada, whose contact details are given at the beginning of this policy. The legal basis is the data subject's consent, under article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; in the case of technical cookies, it is the interest in providing the service requested by the visitor.

The Google Analytics, Google Maps and Google Fonts cookies are set by Google, which acts under its own privacy and cookie policies, available on its website.

You may exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability and objection, and withdraw your consent at any time, by writing to info@ikbell.es or to the postal address given above, proving your identity and stating the right you wish to exercise. If you believe your rights have not been properly addressed, you may lodge a complaint with the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (www.aepd.es), the Spanish data protection authority.

• The right of access to the personal data processed.
• The right to rectification of inaccurate data.
• The right to erasure of the data.
• The right to restriction of processing.
• The right to data portability.
• The right to object to the processing.
• The right to withdraw consent at any time, without retroactive effect.

Updates to this policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated when the cookies used, the third-party services integrated into the site or the applicable legislation change, as well as when the supervisory authorities so indicate. We therefore recommend that you check it each time you visit the website.
