Cookie Policy

www.ulrichmalsch.com


This policy informs about the use of cookies and similar technologies on the website. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy.

1. Data controller

The website is operated by Ulrich Malsch, with Tax ID/NIE X1460755W, address at C/ Ali Bei 37, 1st 2nd, 08010 Barcelona, Spain, and email address ulrich@ulrichmalsch.com.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small files that a website stores or accesses on the user's device. They may enable the technical functioning of the page, remember preferences or collect information about browsing. There are similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels or online identifiers, to which this policy applies when they serve equivalent purposes.

3. Types of cookies used

  • Technical or necessary cookies: enable essential functions such as security, consent management, page loading or the storage of requested preferences. They do not require consent when used exclusively for these purposes.
  • Preference cookies: remember choices made by the user. When the preference has been expressly requested and is not used for other purposes, it may be considered technical; in other cases consent will be requested.
  • Analytics or measurement cookies: allow aggregated insight into how the website is used and help identify possible improvements. They are only activated after consent.
  • Advertising or tracking cookies: allow the creation of profiles or the measurement of advertising campaigns. They will only be used if actually installed and expressly accepted by the user.

4. Specific cookies

The exact list of cookies may vary as the content management system, plugins or external services are updated. The "Configure cookies" panel should always show the up-to-date list, indicating at least the name, provider, purpose, category and duration.

Name / key Provider Purpose Type Duration
reCAPTCHA cookies (e.g. _GRECAPTCHA) Google (third party) — loaded on the Contact page Distinguish humans from bots and protect the contact form from spam and abuse. Necessary Up to 6 months (according to Google's policy)
Calendly cookies and local storage (e.g. calendly-store, calendly-internal-store) Calendly (third party) — appointment booking widget present on the site Enable meeting scheduling and remember the booking widget's state. Preferences / third party Variable (according to Calendly's policy)
Language selector (TranslatePress) First party Remember the language chosen by the user while browsing the site. Necessary Session / up to 1 year

About this table: it was compiled from a technical scan of the site (inspection of cookies, local storage and network requests on the Home, Contact and Blog pages). No active consent management platform (CMP) was detected, nor any analytics or advertising cookies (no Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, GTM, Hotjar or other measurement or advertising tools). It is recommended to repeat the scan after any change of plugins or providers, and to confirm the exact cookie names and their duration directly with Google and Calendly, as some values are not visible until the user interacts with the corresponding widget.

5. Consent and configuration

Pending before publishing: the scan did not detect any cookie configuration panel or banner installed on the site. The text of this section (and section 6) assumes the existence of a consent manager with a "Configure cookies" link in the footer. As the cookies detected (reCAPTCHA and Calendly) are third-party and not purely necessary in the strict sense, a real CMP should be installed before publishing this policy, so that what is written matches what actually happens on the site.

On first access, the user must be able to accept, reject or configure non-necessary cookies. The accept and reject options must be presented equally visibly and simply. Analytics, advertising or equivalent cookies must not be installed before consent.

The user may change or withdraw their consent at any time via the "Configure cookies" link, permanently available in the footer. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

6. Third-party services

When the site incorporates third-party content or services, such as analytics tools, videos, maps, security systems or social buttons, such providers may use their own cookies. These services must remain blocked until consent exists when they are not strictly necessary.

The identity of the providers, their purposes and, where applicable, international transfers will be indicated in the configuration panel and in the table above once actual installation has been verified.

7. How to delete cookies from your browser

In addition to the site's panel, the user can block or delete cookies from their browser settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent some features from working properly. Instructions depend on the browser and can be found in its privacy or security menu.

8. Retention of consent

The user's choice will be retained for the period configured in the consent manager. It will be requested again when necessary due to significant changes in cookies, purposes or providers, or when the established period has elapsed.

9. Updates

Last updated: 3 August 2026. This policy will be reviewed whenever the cookies used, the integrated services or the applicable regulations change.
