Cookie Policy

Last updated: February 11, 2026

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how andresromeroarcas.com ("the Website") uses cookies and similar storage technologies. This policy is part of our Privacy Policy and should be read together with it.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

localStorage is a similar browser storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally in your browser. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not automatically sent to the server with every request.

Cookies and Storage Used on This Website

This website uses minimal storage technologies. Below is a complete list of what we store:

Name Type Purpose Duration Category
theme localStorage Stores your preferred theme (light or dark mode) to provide a consistent visual experience across visits. Permanent (until you clear browser data) Strictly Necessary
cookieConsent localStorage Remembers your cookie consent choice so we don't show the banner on every visit. 1 year Strictly Necessary

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies and storage items are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like theme preferences and consent management.

  • Theme Preference: Remembers whether you prefer light or dark mode
  • Cookie Consent: Remembers your consent choice for cookies

What We DON'T Use

This website does NOT use:

  • ❌ Advertising or marketing cookies
  • ❌ Analytics or tracking cookies (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • ❌ Social media cookies (except when you visit social links)
  • ❌ Third-party tracking technologies
  • ❌ Cross-site tracking or profiling

Third-Party Cookies

While this website itself does not set third-party cookies, some external services integrated into the site may set their own cookies:

Google Fonts

This website uses Google Fonts to display custom typography. Google may set cookies when fonts are loaded from their servers. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

External Links

When you click on links to external websites (LinkedIn, GitHub, etc.), those sites may set their own cookies. I have no control over these third-party cookies. Please review the privacy policies of those websites for more information.

How to Manage Cookies

You have full control over cookies and localStorage on this website. Here are your options:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. You can:

  • Block all cookies
  • Block third-party cookies only
  • Delete cookies after each browsing session
  • Accept cookies but delete them manually later

Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Clear localStorage

To clear localStorage data (including your theme preference and consent choice):

  1. Open your browser's Developer Tools (usually F12)
  2. Go to the "Application" or "Storage" tab
  3. Find "Local Storage" and select this website
  4. Delete the items or clear all storage

Do Not Track (DNT)

Since this website does not use tracking technologies, enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser will not change your experience. I respect your privacy by default and do not track you.

Cookie Consent Management

When you first visit this website, a cookie consent banner appears. You can:

  • Accept: Allows the website to store your theme preference
  • Essential Only: Only stores strictly necessary data (consent choice itself)

You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you disable or delete cookies and localStorage:

  • Your theme preference (light/dark mode) will not be saved between visits
  • The cookie consent banner will reappear on each visit
  • The website will still function normally

Since this website uses only functional storage, disabling cookies will not significantly impact your experience beyond losing preference memory.

Updates to This Policy

I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When changes are made, I will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If I add new types of cookies or tracking technologies, I will update this policy and may ask for your renewed consent.
