1. Who is responsible for this website?

Manuel Robaina, owner of Objetivo 42K, is responsible for this website.

Website: https://en.objetivo42k.com

To ask a privacy-related question or exercise your rights, please use the contact page.

  • Technical information such as your IP address, browser, device, pages visited, approximate location, referring page and visit duration.
  • Information that you provide voluntarily when contacting the website owner.
  • Your name, account, website or other content that you provide when posting a comment.

4. Google services

Blogger

This website is hosted on Blogger, a Google platform. Google may process technical information needed to host, protect and display the content and to manage comments and user accounts.

Google AdSense

Google AdSense advertising is active on this English blog.

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, identifiers and other technical information, subject to the visitor’s choices where required, to:

  • Display advertisements.
  • Measure advertising performance.
  • Limit how often advertisements are shown.
  • Prevent fraud and invalid traffic.
  • Personalise advertising when valid consent has been given.

The current list of advertising partners, purposes and legal bases is available through Manage options in the consent message.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics 4 is used to understand how visitors use the English blog. The English and Spanish editions use the same Objetivo 42K Analytics property and web data stream. Visits to this edition can be distinguished by the hostname en.objetivo42k.com.

Google Analytics may process information such as the pages visited, approximate location, device and browser information, referring page and engagement with the website. Where consent is required, regional Consent Mode defaults keep analytics storage denied until the visitor makes a choice through the consent controls.

The configured retention period for event and user data is 14 months.

Consent management

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Objetivo 42K uses a Google-certified consent management platform compatible with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework.

When the consent message is displayed, visitors can:

  • Consent.
  • Do not consent.
  • Manage options individually.

Consent choices may be communicated to Google services and the relevant partners through consent signals. Visitors will also be able to reopen the privacy controls to change or withdraw their choices.
