What cookies we use on SpanishHomeInsurance.es, why, how long they last, and how to change your mind at any time — in line with GDPR, LOPDGDD and Article 22 of LSSICE.
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit it. Cookies allow the site to recognise your device, remember preferences and measure how the site is used. "Similar technologies" include pixels, local storage and device fingerprinting — for simplicity we refer to all of them as "cookies" in this policy.
You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences category by category. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled because the website cannot function without them. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking "Manage my preferences" at the bottom of any page. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Required for the website to function — load balancing, security, session state, and remembering your cookie choices. These cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes.
Remember choices such as your language, region or recently viewed cover so we can give you a smoother experience across visits.
Help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are most read, where people drop off, and how our content performs — so we can improve it. We use aggregated, pseudonymised data wherever possible.
Measure the effectiveness of advertising and allow us (or our partners) to show you relevant home-insurance-related ads on other websites and platforms after you leave ours. These are only set if you explicitly consent.
The table below describes the main cookies we use. Exact names and lifetimes may change as we update our stack; you can see the current list at any time via the "Manage my preferences" panel.

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we embed, such as analytics, advertising platforms, chat tools or the quote form. These providers act as independent controllers or our processors (depending on the service) and are subject to their own privacy and cookie policies — including Google (Analytics, Ads), Microsoft (Clarity), Meta (Facebook / Instagram), HubSpot (quote form, chat, CRM) and TikTok.
Cookie lifetimes vary by cookie and are listed in the table above. When third-party providers (e.g. Google, Meta, Microsoft, HubSpot, TikTok) are based outside the EEA, transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where applicable, and additional technical measures. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
In addition to our on-site preferences panel, you can block or delete cookies directly from your browser. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may break core site features. See the help pages for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge. To opt out of cross-site advertising more broadly, see youronlinechoices.com (EU).
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. The current version is always the one published on this page, with the "Last updated" date shown above.
