Privacy policy

Last updated: September 29, 2026

Spain at the Table is a static website. We don’t have user accounts, comments, newsletters or forms, and we don’t set cookies. The only thing this site stores in your browser is your light/dark mode choice (in local storage), and only if you use the switch. It never leaves your device.

Who is responsible

The data controller is the site owner identified in our legal notice, reachable at hello@spainatthetable.com.

What we process, why and for how long

Statistics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It doesn’t use cookies or local storage, doesn’t fingerprint your browser and doesn’t follow you across sites or over time. We only see aggregate numbers.

Hosting and email

Transfers outside the EU

Cloudflare is a US company and may process data in the United States. It is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (and its UK extension), which the European Commission recognizes as providing an adequate level of protection.

When you click a link to Amazon or another retailer, you leave this site. That retailer may set its own cookies to attribute your purchase to us, under its own privacy policy. We only receive anonymous sales reports (which products were bought), never your name, address or contact details.

Your rights

You can ask for access to, correction or deletion of your data, object to its processing or ask to restrict it, by writing to hello@spainatthetable.com. Because we don’t collect personal data ourselves, there is usually nothing to access beyond your emails. If you think we haven’t handled your data properly, you can complain to a data protection authority: in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD). This also covers requests under the UK GDPR or US state privacy laws.
