If you press and hold the icon, shortcuts to the most used sections appear. Without signal you can look again at the pages you've already opened.

Getting alerts on your phone

InfoCórdoba alerts you when the pharmacy on duty changes, if there's a weather warning, with each morning's weather or with news on the topics you choose. No account needed.

  1. In the section you're interested in, tap the «Alert me…» button. For example, in Pharmacies:
The «Alert me when the pharmacy on duty changes» button
The button, in Pharmacies.

The browser asks whether you'll let it alert you. Tap «Allow»:

To see what you have turned on, choose for how long (always, today only, three days, one week or one month) or remove it, open «My alerts», at the bottom of any page:

The «My alerts» page
My alerts.

If you don't see the button on iPhone, it's because InfoCórdoba isn't on your Home Screen: this note appears instead. First add InfoCórdoba to your Home Screen (above) and open it from its icon.

The note that appears on iPhone.

Alerts belong to that phone and that browser: if you change phones, you have to turn them on again. At night, from 23:00 to 8:00, no automatic alerts arrive, except the most serious weather warnings.

If you said no to alerts

If you tapped «Don't Allow» or «Block» on the prompt, the browser won't ask again. InfoCórdoba tells you like this:

You only need an account to post ads, contact sellers, save favorites and choose your home page buttons.

  2. You'll get an email from InfoCórdoba. Open it and tap the link. If you can't see it, check your junk (spam) folder.
  3. When you tap the link it asks you to sign in with your email and the password you've just chosen; once you're in, your email is confirmed. The link is valid for one hour: if it expires, sign in to your account and tap «Resend link».

  1. Install a code app. On iPhone the built-in «Passwords» app works; Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator also work.
  2. On InfoCórdoba, go to My account → Security and tap «Set up». A QR code appears.
  3. Scan the QR code with the code app. It has to be on another screen: open InfoCórdoba on a computer or another phone to scan it.
  4. Type the 6-digit code the app gives you and tap «Turn on».
  5. 8 recovery codes appear and won't be shown again: write them down on paper and keep it safe.

From then on, when you sign in it will ask for the app's code:

To change your mind, clear this site's data in your browser settings and it will ask you again. This also clears what you've saved in My Córdoba and that browser's alerts.

The six home page buttons are changed in «Make them yours», and that is saved in your account: you'll see them the same on any phone where you sign in.

Sharing a news story

Below each story are the buttons to share it. «Share» opens your own phone's menu, with all your apps. The icons go straight to WhatsApp, Facebook, X and Telegram, and the last one copies the link so you can paste it wherever you like.

Without signal

Pages you've already opened can be viewed again without signal. What you didn't open before isn't there, and anything that needs a connection (searching, filters, your account) waits until you're back online.
