Cookies Policy

Information about the use of cookies on Doctor Scroll

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.

2. Use of cookies on Doctor Scroll

Doctor Scroll prioritizes your privacy. We use necessary technical cookies for the basic functioning of the site and, only if you accept in the cookie banner, Google Analytics 4 analytics (see section 5).

We never use:

  • Personalized advertising cookies
  • Marketing or retargeting cookies
  • Sharing personal data with third parties for advertising purposes

3. Types of cookies we use

Necessary technical cookies:

  • Theme preferences: We store your light/dark theme preference in a local cookie (localStorage) so that it persists between visits.
  • Language preferences: We store your language selection (Spanish/English) to improve your experience.
  • Your cookie choice: We store whether you accepted or rejected analytics in ds-consent (localStorage) so the banner does not reappear on every visit.

These cookies are essential for the functioning of the site and cannot be disabled.

4. Cookie-free web analytics

To understand how you use the site and improve the content, we use Umami Analytics, a privacy-friendly web analytics service.

Umami does NOT use cookies. Instead, it collects anonymous and aggregated metrics from the server, without identifying individual users.

What Umami DOES collect:

  • Number of visitors
  • Pages visited
  • Visit duration
  • Country of origin (approximate)
  • Device type and browser

What Umami does NOT collect:

  • Personally identifiable data (name, email, IP)
  • Tracking cookies
  • Individual user behavior
  • Precise location

5. Google Analytics 4 (only with your consent)

If you accept the cookie banner, we load Google Analytics 4, the analytics service of Google Ireland Limited, to measure aggregated site usage: page views, visit source, and key actions (submitting the form to receive the guide after the test, and clicks on WhatsApp links).

  • Only with your permission: no Google script is requested until you accept. If you reject, nothing is loaded and nothing is sent to Google.
  • Advertising disabled: advertising storage, ad personalization, and the use of data for advertising remain denied (Consent Mode v2).
  • Legal basis: your consent (art. 6.1.a GDPR).
  • How to withdraw it: the “Cookie settings” button in the footer; reopening the banner lets you reject, which disables Google analytics.

_ga_<ID>HTTP cookie (Google)Maintains the Google Analytics session state2 years

The Google Analytics script is served from googletagmanager.com and the data is processed by Google Ireland Limited under the configuration described above.

6. Third-party cookies

If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics 4 is loaded (script served from googletagmanager.com, data processed by Google Ireland Limited). It is the only third-party cookie service that may ever be loaded.

If you reject, no third-party service with cookies is loaded. Umami (section 4) does not use cookies and runs on our own infrastructure.

7. Cookie management

You can change your decision at any time with the “Cookie settings” button in the footer: it clears your stored choice, reopens the banner and, if you reject, disables Google analytics. You can also manage cookies in your browser:

  • Delete cookies: You can delete cookies stored in your browser from the privacy settings.
  • Disable cookies: You can block all cookies in your browser, but this may affect the functioning of the site.
  • Private browsing: You can use private/incognito browsing mode to prevent cookies from being stored.

8. Changes to this policy

If in the future we decide to add cookies that are not strictly necessary (for example, optional analytics cookies), we will update this policy and clearly inform users.

Our commitment is to maintain a privacy-friendly and transparent environment.
