Cookie Policy — SpanishAura

Last updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones this website (spanishaura.com, “the Website”), owned by Aurora Caballero Calvo (SpanishAura), uses, for what purpose, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy is provided in compliance with Article 22.2 of Spanish Law 34/2002 (LSSI-CE) and the guidance of the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) on the use of cookies.

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit it. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or browsing activity.

2. What types of cookies does this Website use?

a) Technical / strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly and cannot be disabled. They do not require your consent because they are needed to provide the service you request, and include, for example:

Cookies that keep you logged into your student account.
Cookies that maintain your shopping cart or checkout session while purchasing a course.
Cookies related to payment processing via Stripe or PayPal, needed to securely complete a transaction.
Cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences.

b) Functional cookies

Cookies that allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as language preference) to provide a more personalized experience. Depending on their configuration, these may require consent.

c) Newsletter / email-related cookies

If you subscribe to our newsletter via Mailchimp, a cookie may be used to record your subscription status and preferences.

d) Analytics and marketing cookies

We do not currently use analytics or marketing cookies (such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel) on this Website. If we introduce any such tool in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly, and your prior consent will be requested through the cookie banner before any such cookie is installed.

Strictly necessary/technical cookies do not require consent, as they are essential to provide the service you have requested.
Any non-essential cookie (functional, analytics, or marketing) is only installed after you have given your explicit consent through the cookie banner displayed on your first visit to the Website.
You may withdraw your consent at any time, with the same ease with which it was given, by adjusting your cookie preferences (see Section 5) or through your browser settings.

5. How to manage or disable cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by:

Using the cookie preference settings available via the cookie consent banner (powered by Complianz) shown on this Website, or by clicking the “Manage cookies” / “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling technical cookies may affect the Website’s functionality (for example, you may not be able to complete a purchase or stay logged into your account).

Some cookies on this Website are set by third-party service providers we use to operate our business (for example, Stripe for payments, Calendly for scheduling 1:1 lessons, or Mailchimp for our newsletter).
