Cookie Policy
This website uses first-party and third-party cookies to ensure that it functions properly and to analyse how the website is used in order to improve it. The Paper Conservation Lab does not use cookies for advertising purposes or to build profiles based on your browsing habits. If the Website incorporates social media buttons or content, these may install their own cookies in accordance with their respective policies.
This policy and the way cookies are managed on this website comply with the obligations set out in the second paragraph of Article 22 of Law 34/2002, of 11 July, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI), Regulation (EU) 2016/679, of 27 April 2016, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and the guarantee of digital rights (LOPDGDD), as well as with the guidelines of the Spanish Data Protection Agency on cookies.
Consent for the use of cookies
When you first visit the Website, a cookie notice (first information layer) is displayed that allows the user to freely decide on their use through options that make accepting and rejecting cookies equally easy, in particular: “Accept all”, “Decline all” and “Configure” (access to the settings panel). Rejecting cookies is as simple as accepting them.
No non-essential cookies are installed until the user gives their consent. No pre-ticked boxes in favour of acceptance are used and, if the user saves their choice without selecting any category, this will be equivalent to rejecting all non-essential cookies. Access to the Website and its services is not conditional on the acceptance of cookies.
The user may change or withdraw their consent at any time through the cookie settings panel, permanently accessible on the Website.
This consent applies to the domain www.thepaperconservationlab.com.
You can obtain more information about who we are, how to contact us and how we process personal data in the Privacy Policy available on this website.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website, application or other platform stores on your computer, tablet, smartphone or any other similar device, with information about your browsing or use, which acts as an identifier for your device. Cookies are necessary, for example, to facilitate browsing and to understand how users interact with web pages, so that they can be improved. Cookies do not harm your computer or device.
When we talk about “cookies” we also refer to other similar technologies for installing and/or collecting information on or about your device (such as flash cookies, web beacons or bugs, pixels, HTML5 local storage and SDK technologies for app formats). Likewise, the term “cookies” applies to the use of fingerprinting techniques, that is, those techniques for combining information that help to identify your device. Sometimes these technologies work together with cookies to collect and store information.
What types of cookies exist?
Cookies are generally classified according to their function and purpose. Cookies are usually divided into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies: they allow you to move around the website and use its basic functions. They are normally installed in response to actions you take that constitute a request for services, such as accessing a secure area. They are essential for the use of the website.
- Functionality cookies: they allow you to be recognised when you return and offer you more personalised functions, such as remembering your preferences (for example, language or location). They collect anonymous information and cannot track your movements on other websites.
- Analytics and performance cookies: they allow the number of visitors to be recognised and counted and to understand how the website is used (for example, which pages are visited most often), which helps to improve its functioning.
Depending on the purpose:
- Technical cookies: necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of the Website (traffic control and data communication, access to restricted areas, security elements, content dissemination, etc.).
- Personalisation cookies: they allow access to the service with predefined characteristics based on a series of criteria, such as language or browser type.
- Analytics cookies: they allow the number of users to be quantified and the measurement and statistical analysis of their use of the service to be carried out.

The Paper Conservation Lab (Alicia García García) is not responsible for the content or the accuracy of the privacy policies of the third parties included in this cookie policy.
Transfers to third countries
The processing of the data takes place, as a general rule, in the European Economic Area or in countries that have been declared to have an adequate level of protection.
In other cases, we guarantee the security and legitimacy of the data processing by requiring our providers to have binding corporate rules that ensure the protection of information in a manner similar to that established by European standards, to be covered by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, in the case of service providers in the USA, or to sign the European Union’s standard data protection clauses.
How can I manage my cookie preferences?
In the settings panel for cookies, accessible at all times on our website, you can obtain all the information about the cookies used by this website, together with information about the purpose, duration and management (first-party or third-party) of each of them, so that you can manage the activation and deactivation of the use of those cookies that are not strictly necessary for the functioning of the website. When you deactivate cookies, the affected cookies are deleted from your browser wherever possible and, in any case, when you reject a cookie but it cannot be deleted, we always block it. Therefore, we will never use the cookies you reject and we will do everything possible to delete them (bear in mind that certain deletion mechanisms are outside our control, as they depend on the third party responsible for the cookie). Alternatively, if you are browsing the internet, you can disable the use of cookies in your browser, including in relation to third-party cookies that you have accepted and subsequently wish to reject.
You can find instructions for the most popular browsers bellow:
This option to prevent the use of cookies can be carried out at any time. Bear in mind that both your management of the cookie settings panel and your option to reject cookies are specific to each browser you are using. Therefore, if you configure cookies in one way on one device and want your choice to apply similarly to another device, you must activate the same option on that other device.
What happens when cookies are disabled?
Some functionalities and services may be disabled or behave differently than expected. If you disable the use of cookies on this website, your browsing experience may be affected.
