Privacy Policy and Cookies |
Privacy Policy and Cookies on BarcelonaYellow.com Your privacy is important to BarcelonaYellow.com The ‘new’ EU GDPR privacy regulations are only an update on the existing EU Data Protection Directive that was originally launched in 1995. The big difference after May 25th 2018 is that website owners can now be fined if they do not follow these regulations. BarcelonaYellow.com has complied with all privacy regulations since the BarcelonaYellow.com website first launched in January 2007. BarcelonaYellow.com does not use targeted marketing services at all and we do not track our visitor advertising preferences in any way, neither via our own platform or via third party advertising services. The only data we collect via Google Analytics is visitors IP address, location and device/browser, which pages on our website you visited and your length of stay. This information is only used for our own visitor statistics and not shared or sold. All data resides on Google’s secure servers. This data is used by ourselves to monitor how the website develops and to give our advertisers statistics from their banner adverts. Advertisers cannot use BarcelonaYellow.com as part of a global third party advertising campaign, as we do not subscribe to any third party advertising services. All adverts must be booked directly with us and we handle the advert logistics ourselves. BarcelonaYellow.com contains links to many other Barcelona related websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of other web sites and we only add links to BarcelonaYellow.com that we believe will be of interest to visitors to Barcelona – or that are relevant when travelling. If you found a link on BarcelonaYellow.com that you found to be in any way suspicious – please contacts us and let us know – our contact information is at the bottom of this page. Any information that you send through to us via our Contact page – or directly via email – such as your name and email address – will only be used to get in touch with you if you have requested a reply. Under no circumstances will any such details be passed on to third-party organisations. If you would like your contact information deleted directly after we have replied, please request this in your email. About cookies: Cookies are small files which are stored on a user's computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website, and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer. This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next.

Visitor Statistics Cookies We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn't working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These so called “analytics” programs also tell us if how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to put more money into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend.

Google analytics/search console - that generates two cookies. _ga – This cookie is used to distinguish users and records the IP address of the users computer for our own visitor statistics. _gat – This cookie is used to throttle requests. (We do not use the information from this cookie) Turning Cookies Off You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies (Learn how here). Doing so however will not limit the functionality of BarcelonaYellow.com but may limit a large proportion of the world's other websites that you visit - as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites It may be that you concerns around cookies relate to so called "spyware". Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
