Privacy and metrics

What information LarrúaTech uses to understand and improve how the site is used.

Basic audience measurement

LarrúaTech uses its own daily counters to understand which content and tools are used and to improve the site. This measurement is limited to its audience and page usage. It does not create profiles, identify sessions or people, or track browsing across sites. Its configuration follows the audience measurement conditions described in the AEPD guide.

No analytics cookies or identifiers are installed in browser storage. No consent banner is displayed. You can voluntarily disable this measurement using the control below; browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are also respected.

Your measurement preference

Checking this browser's preference…

This preference does not affect content access. A technical flag is stored only when you choose to disable measurement. If your browser blocks storage, the choice lasts for this page only.

What is counted

  • Loads of registered site pages, without search parameters or fragments.
  • Practice-test starts, completions and exits through the Exit button, by certification and practice or exam mode.
  • Clicks on lab materials from a fixed list and clicks to other websites, grouped by known domains or “other”.
  • Page views by viewport category: mobile, tablet or desktop.
  • Page views by referrer: known domain, “other”, “from this site” or “direct / no referrer”. Complete referrer addresses are not stored.

Categories are totaled separately each UTC day. No visitor history row exists, and device and referrer information are not combined to distinguish visitors. One person can generate many visits; these counts do not represent unique people. Blockers, opt-outs, connection failures and bots affect the figures.

What is stored on the server

The LarrúaTech server, prepared for hosting on Railway, stores daily counters for a rolling 90-day window. It does not retain individual events, exact browsing times, identifiers or cryptographic summaries of visitors or sessions. Cleanup runs at startup and every hour while the server is active. If it remains stopped, cleanup runs when it next starts.

Metrics tables do not store IP addresses, complete browser strings, aliases, account identifiers, answers, exam scores or community messages. Connection addresses are used temporarily in memory to limit abuse. As with any web request, the server and hosting provider receive technical connection data; their operational logs are separate from these statistics.

Measurement events are sent to this site without credentials or a referrer header. They are not sent to an external analytics provider or reused for advertising. Railway acts as the infrastructure provider; its data-processing terms are published in its data processing agreement.

Disabling measurement stops future submissions. Only the technical flag is stored larruatech-metrics-disabled-v2 with the value 1, without an identifier or date. It remains until you enable measurement again or clear site storage. Historical counters cannot attribute or subtract visits from an identity.

Change from the previous measurement system

If you rejected the previous measurement system and that preference remains valid, measurement stays disabled. The old preference and session identifier are removed from the browser, and the technical summaries used for deduplication are removed from the server. Earlier counts collected with consent remain separate for their 90-day window; they are not combined with this basic measurement. Backups, if configured, follow their own retention cycle.

Community and private access

The community requests a private email address to confirm your account and recover access. Resend processes the recipient and messages for these emails. Your alias and posts are public; email addresses and credentials are not included in public community responses. Link expiration and account-deletion behavior are explained in the community guidelines.

The account and sign-in cookie required to participate are described in the community guidelines. Registration, posting and moderation operations require their own data to work. The private dashboard separately displays account and post totals, excluding editorial examples, without showing aliases or messages or linking them to audience data. Disabling measurement does not delete your posts or prevent participation.

Only accounts with administrative permissions can view the report. To exercise your rights concerning your account’s personal data, report an issue or request more information, use the email address at the top. Do not send passwords or recovery codes.
