The small print
Cookie policy
What is stored in your browser, what for and how long it lasts. Today: what the site needs to work, and the video player, which is your call.

1. What this is
A cookie is a tiny file a site leaves in your browser so it can recognise it next time. This site’s own ones are what it needs to work: your account session, your language and your preferences. Those cannot be switched off, and the law exempts from consent those strictly necessary to provide the service you asked for.
What you are asked about is something else: the videos in articles are played by YouTube, which is a third party. There is no advertising, no tracking and no measurement of any kind.
2. The ones that make the site work
These are first-party —set by this site, not by a third party— and shared with nobody. This is all of them, one by one.
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| gb_session | Keeps you signed in to your account | Until you sign out |
| __Host-gb_session | The same session, with the prefix the browser requires in production | Until you sign out |
| gb_locale | Remembers which language you want the site in | One year |
| gb-theme | Remembers whether you prefer light or dark mode | Until you clear browser data |
| grada:ancha | Remembers whether you left the stands drawer widened | Until you clear browser data |
| gb:cookies | Stores this very choice, so you are not asked again | One year |
3. The videos shown here
Some articles carry YouTube videos. The first thing you see is a cover served from this very site —the thumbnail is on our server, not on Google’s— and on top of it the player from youtube-nocookie.com, the version Google offers without personalised advertising.
That player belongs to a third party, so when it loads is your decision. If you accept, it loads by itself as you approach the video, which is the convenient way. If you refuse, it never loads on its own: the cover stays, and the player only appears if you press it yourself —pressing it is asking for it—. You can also open the video on YouTube from the corner link, and then you are on their site under their terms.
Once the player loads, Google may store things in your browser under its own terms, set out in its privacy policy.
4. How to change your mind
Through the «Cookies» link in the footer, at any time and from any page. The same question opens again and whatever you choose replaces the previous answer. Refusing costs exactly what accepting costs: one click.
You can also delete them from your browser —in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge it is under the privacy settings—. If you delete «gb:cookies», you will be asked again on your next visit.
5. Changes
If anything else that is not strictly necessary —measurement, advertising— is ever added, it will be said here before it is and everyone will be asked again: permission given for one thing is not permission for another.
