This website, owned by Santiago de la Hoz López, uses first-party and third-party cookies to ensure proper site operation, remember your preferences and, if you consent, analyze your browsing behavior to improve our services and performance.
Below, you will find detailed information about what cookies are, which types we use on this website, how you can manage or withdraw your consent, and how to configure your browser if you wish to disable them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites or applications store in the user's browser or device (smartphone, tablet, or connected TV) while they browse pages. They are used to store and retrieve information about your visit.
The use of cookies helps optimize browsing by adapting technical information and offered services to user needs, providing a smoother and safer experience each time you visit the website.
2. Cookie types and purposes under regulations
According to the guidelines of the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), cookies can be classified according to several criteria:
A) According to the entity that manages them:
- First-party cookies: These are sent to the user's device from a system or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the requested service is provided.
- Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user's device from a system or domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies (for example, Google Analytics).
B) According to how long they remain active:
- Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information needed only for a one-time requested service and disappear when the session ends.
- Persistent cookies: These are cookies where data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period set by the cookie owner, ranging from a few minutes to several years.
C) According to purpose (operational classification on this site):
- Technical Cookies (Strictly necessary): These are essential for the website to function correctly. They allow data communication, session identification, access to restricted sections, management of privacy consent status, and service security fraud control. These cookies do not require user consent for installation.
- Statistics / Analytics Cookies: These cookies, processed by us or by third parties (mainly Google Analytics), allow us to quantify the number of users and perform statistical measurement and analysis of how users use the offered service. To do this, we analyze your browsing on our website in order to improve the content and services we offer. These cookies are only installed if you click "Accept all" or explicitly enable them in the panel.

4. Consent management, withdrawal, and settings
You can withdraw your consent or reconfigure your cookie selection at any time using the permanent Privacy Settings Panel integrated directly at the end of this explanatory text.
Also, if you want to block or delete cookies stored on your device by this or any other website, you can do so through your Internet browser settings:
- Google Chrome: Cookie settings in Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox: Cookie and tracking settings in Firefox
- Apple Safari: Cookie settings in Safari
- Microsoft Edge: Cookie settings in Edge
5. What happens if cookies are disabled?
In the case of analytics cookies, disabling them does not affect the website's medical services or general browsing capabilities. The site will continue to function with full technical normality.
Only if you block technical cookies externally and indefinitely (for example, through extreme restrictive browser settings), the website will not remember whether you accepted or rejected cookies in the previous session, and the initial privacy notice will appear repeatedly each time you access the domain.
6. Updates to the Cookie Policy
Santiago de la Hoz López may modify this Cookie Policy based on new legislative or regulatory requirements, or to adapt this policy to current guidelines issued by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD). Therefore, users are advised to review it periodically.
Last review and update: May 2026.
