This Cookie Policy (hereinafter, the "Policy") is intended to inform users of the Domestika website (hereinafter, the "Site") about the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies. This Policy has been prepared in accordance with applicable privacy and electronic communications legislation, including the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, the LSSI-CE (Spain's Information Society Services Act), the UK GDPR, the PECR, and U.S. state privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, among others), as well as the guidelines issued by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) and the European Data Protection Board (EDPB).
The data controller for personal data collected through cookies on the Site is Domestika, Inc., with its registered office in Berkeley, California, United States.
For any queries regarding the use of cookies, the exercise of data protection rights, or any other privacy-related matter, users may contact the Data Protection Officer (DPO) at the following email address: dataprotection@domestika.org.
As Domestika directs its services to users located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, users in those territories may also direct their queries and requests to the DPO at the address indicated above.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user's device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when visiting a website. Cookies allow the website to recognise the user's device and remember certain information about the visit, such as language preferences, login details, or other settings. There are also similar tracking technologies, such as tracking pixels, web beacons, and local storage, which may be used for analogous purposes and to which this Policy applies.
In accordance with the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, the LSSI-CE, the UK GDPR, and the PECR, strictly necessary cookies required for the operation of the Site are installed without prior consent, as they are essential for the provision of the service requested by the user.
Non-essential cookies (functional, performance, and targeting cookies) are not installed or activated until the user has given their consent freely, specifically, in an informed manner, and unambiguously through the cookie settings panel (consent banner) displayed upon the first visit to the Site. Consent is collected on a granular basis, allowing the user to accept or reject each category of cookies independently. No non-essential cookies, including advertising and analytics cookies, will be installed before the user has given consent.
The user has the right to withdraw consent at any time with the same ease with which it was given, in accordance with Article 7(3) of the GDPR. To do so, users may access the cookie settings panel at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link permanently available in the footer of the Site, without needing to wait for a new visit. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent given prior to its withdrawal.
For users residing in U.S. states with applicable privacy legislation (such as California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, among others), Domestika respects the user's right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information and the processing of their data for behavioural advertising purposes. Users may exercise these rights through the cookie settings panel or the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link available in the footer of the Site. To the extent that the user's browser transmits a recognised opt-out preference signal (such as Global Privacy Control, "GPC"), Domestika will process such signal as a valid opt-out request in accordance with applicable law.
For users accessing the Site from jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and U.S. states with specific privacy legislation, the use of cookies and similar technologies may be subject to a different legal framework.
In these jurisdictions, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Domestika may rely on alternative legal bases for the use of certain cookies and similar technologies, including those that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the Site.
Accordingly, certain cookies and similar technologies may be used upon access to the Site, subject to applicable legal requirements and the information provided to users through this Policy and any notices made available at the time of collection.
Domestika provides users with information about its use of cookies through layered notices, including banners or similar mechanisms, and may offer users tools to manage their preferences where required by applicable law or where deemed appropriate.
Users may also configure their browser or device settings to control or limit the use of cookies at any time. Please note that restricting certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of the Site.
Domestika reserves the right to determine, adapt, and apply its cookie practices in accordance with applicable laws, regulatory guidance, and industry standards in the jurisdictions in which it operates, and to update this Policy accordingly.
The Site uses the following categories of cookies:
Strictly Necessary Cookies. These are essential for the basic operation of the Site, such as navigating its pages, accessing secure areas, or managing cookie consent. These cookies do not require consent and cannot be disabled without affecting the operation of the Site.
Functional Cookies. These allow the Site to remember the user's choices (such as language, region, or username) and provide enhanced and personalised features. If the user does not allow these cookies, some services may not function properly.
Performance (Analytics) Cookies. These collect information about how users interact with the Site (pages visited, errors encountered, loading times) in order to improve its performance. The information collected is aggregated and, in principle, anonymous.

For each cookie used on the Site, a detailed table is provided below that includes: the cookie name, the provider (first-party or third-party), the specific purpose, whether it is a session or persistent cookie, and, in the case of persistent cookies, the specific expiry period. Domestika is committed to keeping this table up to date with the actual cookie names, avoiding the use of generic or placeholder identifiers.
As Domestika, Inc. is headquartered in the United States, personal data collected through cookies may be transferred to and processed outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, including in the United States.
To ensure an adequate level of protection, such transfers are based on the legal mechanisms provided for in Articles 46 and 49 of the GDPR and the equivalent provisions of the UK GDPR, which may include: adequacy decisions by the European Commission or the UK Government, standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), or the data importer's participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, to the extent applicable.
Additionally, certain third-party cookie providers listed in Section 7 may transfer personal data to third countries. The table below identifies the main third parties that carry out transfers outside the EEA, the destination countries, and the applicable transfer mechanism:

Domestika has implemented Google Consent Mode v2 so that Google tags (Analytics, Ads, etc.) adjust their behaviour based on the user's consent choices. Specifically:
Consent states are set to "denied" by default for all storage and consent types before the user interacts with the cookie banner. The mandatory parameters ad_user_data (consent to send user data to Google for advertising purposes), ad_personalization (consent for ad personalisation), analytics_storage, and ad_storage are managed and updated in real time according to the user's choices in the cookie settings panel. Domestika uses a Consent Management Platform (CMP) certified by Google and compatible with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.2). Google tags are activated solely on a conditional basis depending on the consent state communicated by the CMP through Google Tag Manager.
The primary and most accessible mechanism for managing cookie preferences is the cookie settings panel on the Site. Users may access it at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link permanently located in the footer of the Site, where they can modify their preferences, accept or reject cookie categories, and withdraw previously given consent.
In addition to the cookie settings panel, users may manage cookies through their web browser settings. Below are the help links for the main browsers:
