Cookie policy
We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. The little we store in your browser either makes the site work or remembers what you choose.
In short
Everything El Pleno stores in your browser is either technical (needed for the site to work, such as keeping you signed in) or a preference you ask for (language, theme, font, province). The law allows storing these without asking for permission (Article 22.2 of the LSSI-CE and the cookie guide of the Spanish Data Protection Agency), so you will not see a cookie banner when you arrive.
Audience statistics use no cookies and store nothing in your browser, so they do not need your permission. To count distinct visitors on a given day, the server uses a fingerprint of your IP address and browser with a key that changes and is destroyed every day; it does not store your IP address and cannot recognize you on another day. Only daily totals are kept. Details are in the privacy policy.

Videos from the Cortes
When we show a video, we prefer the official file from the Congress or the Senate, played with your browser’s own player. That video needs no permission, because it sets no cookies.
If a video is ever only available in a player from another site (for example YouTube), that site uses its own cookies. Then, and only on that page, you will see a slim bar at the bottom: “This video is served by…, which uses cookies. Accept · Reject · More information”. Accept and Reject carry the same weight. Nothing from that site loads until you accept, and the bar does not cover or block the page.
We remember your answer for 13 months. You can change it below at any time.
How to clear or block what is stored
You can clear cookies and local storage for elpleno.org in your browser settings. If you block them, you can still read El Pleno, but you will not be able to sign in and we will not remember your preferences.
More about how we handle data in the privacy policy.
Your choice about videos from other sites
You have not chosen anything yet. We will only ask if a page is about to load a video from another site.
