COOKIES POLICY

 

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a file or device that is downloaded to the terminal equipment of an Internet user, when the user browses the Internet, with the purpose of storing and retrieving data that are on this equipment and that reflect the user’s activities during their browsing time. In doing so, Internet service providers can fulfil certain functions, such as:

 

  • Facilitating the user’s navigation through the websites he/she visits;
  • Facilitating the user’s shopping experience on the websites they visit;
  • Providing information on the browsing habits of website users in order to develop new products or services;
  • To provide information on the browsing habits of website users, in order to target them with behavioural advertising.

 

Cookies, depending on who implements them, can be:

 

  • our own: those enabled by the owner of the website that the user visits, sending them from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which it provides the services requested by the user; or,
  • third party’s: those enabled by other service providers with whom the owner of the website the user is visiting has contracted the provision of certain services; they are sent from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

 

Cookies, depending on how long they remain activated, can be:

  • Session cookies: These are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website.
  • Persistent cookies: These are a type of cookie in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

 

Cookies, depending on their purpose, can be:

  • analytical: These are cookies that, processed by the owner of the site or by third parties, allow them to quantify the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service offered, in order to improve the range of products and services offered.
  • advertising: These are cookies that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, if applicable, the editor has included on a web page, application or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency with which the advertisements are shown.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, if applicable, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on the behaviour of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on these habits.

It is also possible that when visiting a web page or opening an email where an advertisement or promotion for certain products or services is published, a cookie may be installed in the browser that is subsequently used to show advertising related to the search that has been carried out, to develop a control of the advertisements in relation, for example, to the number of times they are seen, where they appear, at what time they are seen, etc.

There are some cookies that can be implanted in the user’s terminal without the need for consent. These are the following:

  • cookies to enable communication between the user’s equipment and the network.
  • cookies to provide a service expressly requested by the user.

 

Thus, the cookies exempted from requesting consent are:

  • User input cookies.
  • User identification or authentication cookies (only session cookies).
  • User security cookies.
  • Media player cookies.
  • Session cookies for load balancing.

  1. WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE, WHO CONTROLS THEM, AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE?

 

Currently, the website uses cookies which are essential to enable you to browse the site, and others for the collection of statistical and analytical information, which allow us to analyse user browsing and obtain statistical data to improve our services. The cookies used by the website are only associated with an anonymous user and their computer, and do not, in themselves, provide the user’s personal data.

 

Using cookies, it is possible that the server where the website is located recognises the web browser used by the user, in order to make browsing easier, allowing, for example, access to users who have previously registered, access to areas, services, promotions or competitions reserved exclusively for them, without having to register each time they visit. They are also used to measure audience and traffic parameters, monitor progress and the number of entries.
