Cookies and external services policy
1. What cookies are
Cookies and similar technologies store or read information on a device. Some are necessary to deliver, protect and remember preferences for the service. Others connect to external providers and are activated only when the user allows them.
2. Website approach
Only necessary technologies load by default. “Accept” and “Reject” are presented with equal prominence. The choice can be configured or changed at any time through “Cookie settings” in the footer. Rejecting external services does not prevent access to the tables or the local map alternative.
3. Necessary technologies
| Name or family | Provider | Purpose | Approximate duration |
|---|---|---|---|
bpb_consent |
Port Authority of Bilbao | Store the policy version and preferences without a personal identifier. | 6 months, configurable. |

wp-settings-*, wp-settings-time-* |
WordPress | Retain interface preferences for authenticated users. | Up to one year. |
pll_language, where required by Polylang |
Polylang | Remember the selected language. | According to configuration, normally up to one year. |
4. External services: Google Maps
The “External services and maps” category allows the Google Maps JavaScript API to load from Google domains. Before it is accepted, a local alternative is displayed and the Maps script is not inserted. Once enabled, Google may receive the IP address, browser and device information, language, requested URL and map interactions and may use its own storage under its policies.
Provider: Google Ireland Limited and the relevant Google entities for the service. Purpose: display the interactive vessel map. Possible transfers: outside the European Economic Area under applicable safeguards. Links to Google Maps Platform policies and terms are provided next to the map.
5. Analytics
The analytics category is disabled by default and the package does not install an external measurement tool. If one is added later, it will remain disabled until this policy, the inventory and the preference manager are updated.
6. Changing your choice
Use “Cookie settings” in the footer. You can accept all optional services, reject them or select categories. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before the change. To remove resources that have already loaded, the website reloads without the external provider.
7. Browser settings
You may also delete or block cookies through your browser. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent private access, password recovery or preferences from working.
8. Inventory and changes
The inventory is reviewed when WordPress, Polylang, the map or any external service changes. The version of this policy determines when a new decision must be requested.
