This Cookie Policy explains how SAIIE (Spanish-American Institute of International Education) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It improves and replaces the previous short cookies notice published on saiie.com.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences and understand how visitors use the site. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels) may be used for the same purposes.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- ensure the website works correctly (technical / essential cookies);
- remember choices such as cookie consent where applicable;
- measure traffic and improve content (analytics), when allowed;
- enable embedded third-party content (for example YouTube videos or social network buttons).
3. Types of cookies we use
| Type | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Technical / essential | Required for security, navigation, load balancing and basic site features. | Not required (strictly necessary) |
| Preference | Remember settings such as language or consent choices. | May be required depending on function |
| Analytics | Understand visits and usage (e.g. Google Analytics, if active) in aggregated or pseudonymised form. | Required |
| Third-party / embedded media | Social buttons and video embeds (YouTube, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.) may set their own cookies when content loads. | Required for non-essential embeds |
4. Third-party cookies
When you interact with embedded videos or social sharing features, those providers may process data under their own policies. Examples include Google/YouTube, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), LinkedIn and TikTok. Please review each provider’s own policies.
5. How long cookies last
Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period (or until you delete them). Analytics cookies, when used, typically last from a few months up to two years unless configured otherwise.
6. How to manage cookies
You can control cookies through:
- your browser settings (block, delete or restrict cookies);
- any cookie banner or preferences tool shown on this site;
- industry opt-out tools for advertising/analytics where available.
Blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality. Blocking analytics or media cookies will not prevent you from browsing informational pages, but some videos or share features may not load.
7. Legal framework
Cookie use is regulated under Spanish and EU rules on electronic communications and data protection (including LSSI-CE and GDPR). Non-essential cookies are only used when you have given consent, where consent is required.
