Cookies Policy
This policy explains which cookies and similar browser storage are used on embassy.ag, what they are for and how you can choose. It applies to the website of the Embassy of Antigua and Barbuda in Madrid, Calle de Felipe IV 7, 4º B, 28014 Madrid, Spain (info@embassy.ag). Last updated: 11 November 2026.
Summary
The website works without optional cookies. Essential storage only remembers your privacy choices. Audience measurement with Google Analytics uses cookies only if you accept Analytics. No advertising cookies are used, and the Embassy does not sell or share your browsing data for advertising.
Essential technologies
These are needed to provide the website and remember your decision. They do not require consent and cannot be switched off from the privacy panel.
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
embassy-ag-privacy-choices |
Local storage (not a cookie) | embassy.ag | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected Analytics and External media, and when | Until you change your choice or clear your browser data |
Fonts, photographs, videos and the national anthem recording are served from embassy.ag itself, without third-party cookies. Sending an enquiry form does not set cookies; how the information you write is handled is explained in our Privacy Policy.
Analytics (optional)
With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand in aggregate how the website is used — for example which pages are visited and how visitors arrive — so that we can improve the information we publish. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Cookie | Google (embassy.ag) | Distinguishes visitors for statistical purposes | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Cookie | Google (embassy.ag) | Keeps the state of the visit for Google Analytics 4 | 2 years |
The website uses Google Consent Mode. The Tag Manager script is present on every page, but until you accept Analytics no analytics cookies are written and advertising features remain disabled. While consent is refused, Google may receive limited signals without cookies or identifiers (such as the page requested and the consent status), which Google uses only in aggregate. If you accept, information about your visit is processed by Google, which may involve transfers outside the European Economic Area under the safeguards Google applies, such as the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. More information: How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
External media (optional)
The website does not currently embed third-party players, maps or social-media content. Links to external websites, such as videos on other platforms or Google Maps, open those services directly, and their own cookie policies then apply. If embedded external content is added in the future, it will load only after you enable External media.
Manage your choices
When you first visit, you can Accept optional cookies, Reject optional cookies or Manage preferences — all three with the same prominence. You can change your decision at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. Withdrawing consent applies to future processing; it does not affect processing already carried out on the basis of your earlier consent. If you withdraw consent for Analytics, you can also delete the _ga cookies from your browser.
Your browser also lets you block or delete cookies and site data: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Blocking all cookies does not prevent you from reading the Embassy’s public information.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy if the technologies used on the website change, and the date above will show the latest version. For questions about cookies or personal data, write to info@embassy.ag or read our Privacy Policy.
