| Spanish pages | A Spanish version of the site, a page read in Spanish, or a link labelled Español. |

| Chat, booking | A chat tool or an online booking tool on the site. |

| Registry firm | Listed in an official state registry; no website read, so only the registry facts are shown. |
Every fact links to the page we read it on, with the date. These are statements on websites, not ratings: we never score or rank a firm. A firm can ask for a correction or to be left out on the data corrections page; we act within 7 days.
