KECOMSOFT A short page, because there is little to say: this site does not use cookies unless you accept advertising measurement, explained below. Other things do happen, and all of them are below — the language you picked is kept in your browser, and when you open the front door of the site your browser asks an outside service which country your IP address is in, so the page can open in English or in Spanish without making you choose.
This site does not set cookies unless you accept
Not ours, and none belonging to anyone else, unless you accept advertising measurement in Cookie choices. Until you accept, no cookie is created when you arrive, while you browse, or when you send a form. What the rest of this page explains is what is stored in your browser — two entries, neither of them a cookie — and every request that leaves it. There are three, and all three are below.
What it does keep in your browser
Two entries, and neither is a cookie. The first, “ks.lang”, holds two letters — “en” or “es” — so the site opens in the language you picked last time. It is saved in your browser’s local storage. It never leaves your device, it is not sent to us with any request, and it cannot be used to recognise you. It is also the first thing the site looks at: if it is there, the country lookup described below does not happen at all. Clearing this site’s data in your browser removes it; nothing breaks, the site simply reads the language from the address bar, which is where the language really lives. The second, “ks.consent”, only appears if you open Cookie choices and answer: it holds your answer so the site does not ask you again on your next visit. If you never open it, it is never created. Answering no does not remove it — it records the no, with the date, which is the point: it is how the site knows not to ask you again. It goes away if you reopen Cookie choices, which clears it until you answer, or if you clear this site’s data.
Why that is not a cookie
A cookie travels to a server with every request you make, which is exactly what makes it useful for following people around. Local storage does not travel anywhere: it sits in your browser, and only this page can read it.
The language request: which country your IP is in
When you open the front door of this site — the address with no language after it — your browser asks geojs.io, a service run by someone else, which country your IP address belongs to. What comes back is a two-letter code, and it is used for exactly one thing: deciding whether to open the page in English or in Spanish. Then it is discarded. This deserves saying plainly rather than burying it: your IP address is personal data, and that provider sees it. The request goes straight from your browser to them and never passes through our servers, so we do not receive your IP address, do not store it and do not log it. Neither we nor they set a cookie for this. If you would rather it did not happen, open a language address directly (/en or /es) or pick a language once — from then on the site uses your saved choice and asks nobody. And if the service does not answer within about a second, nothing is retried: the site falls back to the language your own browser asks for and carries on.
What we note when you tap call or WhatsApp
When you tap the phone or the WhatsApp link, or when you send the contact form, your browser tells a server of our group (bonds.serletapps.com) that the click happened: which page you were on, what you searched for if you arrived from one of our ads, which ad it was, and some technical detail of the click itself (the language of the page, the kind of device, an identifier for that click). If you arrived from an ad, the WhatsApp link also opens the app with a short reference code already written into the message, so that a conversation with no origin can be matched to the ad — you can delete it before sending. Your name and your message are not part of it, and no cookie is set for it. It exists for a plain reason: a phone call arrives with no origin attached, so without this we cannot tell which ad paid for it. This one happens whether or not you accept advertising measurement, because it is ours and not Google’s — and that server sees your IP address, as does any server you send a request to. If you would rather it did not happen, write to us instead: the email addresses at the foot of the page reach the same people.
What we have chosen not to do
There is no web analytics on this site, no social network buttons that phone home and no session recording. We use the Google Ads tag in consent mode. Until you accept in Cookie choices (at the foot of every page), it stores no cookies and only sends anonymous signals, to measure whether a visit that came from one of our ads ends in contact. If you accept, Google may set its cookies for that. If you change your mind, withdrawing in Cookie choices stops it storing anything new from that moment, but a cookie already on your device stays there until it expires or you clear this site’s data in your browser: we cannot delete it for you from here, and saying otherwise would not be true. Apart from that and the click note described above, nothing follows you from page to page or from one visit to the next. The country lookup above is not an exception to that: it is asked once, it answers with two letters, and it knows nothing about what you do afterwards. All of this is a decision, not an oversight, and it is why this page is short. If any of it changes, this page changes on the same day and the date at the top will say so.
