Privacy policy

Last updated: 1 October 2026.

Data controller

• Controller: Nestor Espuch
• Address: España
• Contact email: [email protected]
• Domain: homeiotguide.com

What data we process and why

• Browsing (server and CDN logs): IP address, date, requested resource and user agent. Legal basis: legitimate interest in security and site operation. Providers: Hetzner as VPS provider and Cloudflare as CDN, proxy and security layer. Retention follows each provider's configuration.
• Visual preference: the browser may store the light/dark theme preference in localStorage. It is not used to identify or profile you. The site also uses sessionStorage to temporarily keep the previous navigation path.
• Language preference: the selector may store the chosen language in localStorage and the technical homeiotguide_locale cookie. This only remembers whether you prefer Spanish or English; it is not used to identify, measure or profile you.
• Contact email: if you write to us, we process your email address and message to reply. Legal basis: steps requested by you and, where applicable, your consent. Provider: Gmail (Google).
• Analytics: Cloudflare Web Analytics is active through the proxy configuration. According to the provider, its beacon does not use cookies or local storage.
• Advertising: Google AdSense (detailed below): Google processes advertising data as described in the next section, under its own responsibility.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site is funded by advertising. It uses the Google AdSense programme, through which Google and its partners can display advertising on this and other websites. The advertising tag is loaded when the site is approved, so limited or non-personalised ads may appear before you decide anything; nothing is personalised from your activity until you consent, and if you consent, personalised advertising is served.

• Controller for advertising data in the EEA: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which processes advertising data for its own purposes. Its own policy applies: policies.google.com/privacy
• Purposes: selecting and displaying advertising, measuring its performance through impressions and clicks, preventing fraud, limiting how often advertising is shown to you, and, if you consent, personalising advertising based on your browsing activity.
• Legal basis: consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR) to store or access information on your device and for advertising personalisation. You can withdraw it at any time from the consent settings link in the footer.
• Google signals: Google's consent management platform sends the following Consent Mode v2 signals: ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization, which govern advertising, and analytics_storage. This site does not use Google Analytics, so no analytics data is collected through that last signal.
• Storage: Google stores advertising identifiers and related data on your device. See our cookie policy for the full description of that family of technologies.
• International transfers: advertising data may be processed outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. The safeguards applied are the standard contractual clauses of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 and, for providers that are certified, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Recipients and transfers

Necessary providers include Hetzner for the VPS, Gmail/Google for contact email, and Cloudflare for CDN, proxy, security and analytics. Google Search Console is used to monitor indexing and performance, and Google acts as an independent controller for advertising data as described above. Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area; where applicable, transfers rely on standard contractual clauses or other recognised safeguards.

Your rights

You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability by writing to our email and proving your identity. You may also complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency. Where advertising data is concerned, you can also withdraw consent directly from the consent settings link in the footer.

Changes to this policy

This policy will be updated when processing activities change. The last review date will be shown on this page.
