What data we collect

This page is a static reference resource. We do not require registration, login, or any personal information to use it.

If you subscribe to our newsletter via the links on this page, your email address will be collected and processed by our newsletter platform (Letterman AI). That data is governed by their privacy policy and our newsletter privacy practices.

Analytics

If you consent to cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use this page — which sections are most viewed, how long people spend on the page, and which devices are used. This helps us improve the content.

GA4 collects:

• Pages viewed and time spent
• Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
• Device type, browser, and screen size
• Referral source (how you found the page)

This data is aggregated and we cannot identify individual visitors. Google's privacy policy applies to GA4 data processing: policies.google.com/privacy

If you do not consent to cookies, no analytics data is collected.

Third-party API requests

This page makes requests to external services to display live information:

• Open-Meteo (api.open-meteo.com) — current temperature in Jávea. No personal data is sent. Open-Meteo does not use cookies.
• Frankfurter (api.frankfurter.dev) — GBP/EUR exchange rate. No personal data is sent. Frankfurter does not use cookies.
• farmaciadeguardiajavea.com — duty pharmacy rotation data. No personal data is sent.

These requests are made directly from your browser. The providers may log your IP address in their server logs as part of normal web operation. We have no access to those logs.

Cookies

This page uses cookies only if you consent:

• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) — used to measure page usage. Set only after you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. These cookies expire after 2 years.
• Cookie consent preference — a small cookie to remember your choice so we do not ask you again. Expires after 365 days.

No cookies are set if you decline or ignore the cookie banner.

Your rights under GDPR

As a visitor in the EU, you have the right to:

• Access any personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent for cookies at any time (clear your browser cookies or use your browser's privacy settings)
• Lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) at aepd.es

In practice, if you do not subscribe to our newsletter, the only data associated with your visit is anonymous analytics (if you consented to cookies). To exercise any of these rights, email robbishop1966@gmail.com.

Links to other sites

This page contains links to external websites (Google Maps, pharmacy rota, ALSA, etc.). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes.
