WHY DO WE USE COOKIES AND HANDLE BROWSING DATA?

On this website we use cookies.

 

What is a cookie?

 

A cookie is a file that websites transfer to devices that connect to them. Although often, the purpose of cookies is purely technical, they also allow a website to store and recover information on the browsing habits of the user or his/her system and, depending on the information they contain and the way in which they are used, they can be used to recognise the user.

 

Some cookies are controlled and managed by the owner of the website itself (these are called “own cookies”), and others are controlled by third parties (these are known as “third-party cookies”), because they provide a tool or functionality installed on the website.

 

Certain cookies are deleted as soon as the user finishes browsing the website (session cookies), while other remain stored on the user’s system, and can be accessed over a longer period (persistent cookies).

 

On this website, we use the following types of cookies:

We use technical cookies to enable us to provide the services requested by our users. These cookies are essential to enable users to browse and use various options and services on the website, for example, they control website traffic and the communication of data, they identify the session, allow access to restricted areas, record the information provided by the user at each stage of an order, processing a purchase, they use security elements during browsing, store content for broadcast by sound or video, or allow the sharing of content across social networks.

In order to optimise the experience of using our website, we use customisation cookies which enable us to configure the website and its services in accordance with the preferences of the user or with the general characteristics of his/her system, for example, the browser used, and the particular version of it, the operating system installed, etc.

These cookies are used, for example, to record the parameters selected by the user during visits to the website, and to present the website content in his/her language.

Analysis cookies enable us to measure and analyse website activity and to build up browsing profiles of users.

 

We use GOOGLE ANALYTICS cookies to gather anonymous statistics and overviews which enable us to understand how visitors use our website, so that we can improve and adjust the site to conform to their preferences.

 

GOOGLE ANALYTICS is a tool provided by Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway. Mountain View, CA 94043. U.S.A. You can obtain more information about how GOOGLE ANALYTICS works, and the cookies it uses via the following links:

• https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245
• http://www.google.com/intl/es/policies/privacy/ 

You can deactivate GOOGLE ANALYTICS by installing on your browser the Opt-out Browser Add-on created by Google, and available via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=es

 

Below are typical types of browsing data which can be gathered and analysed:

• The name of the provider’s domain (ISP) and/or the IP address through which they access the internet. For example, a user of ISP xxx will be identified only by the domain xxx.es (or xxx.uk, etc.), and/or the IP address. This enables us to collect statistics in relation to the countries and servers which visit our website most frequently. 
• The date and time our website was accessed. This enables us to find out which are the busiest times, and to make any adjustments necessary to avoid problems caused by saturation at peak times. 
• The internet address from which the link originated to connect to our website. By using this data, we can assess the effectiveness of the various banners and links that direct traffic to our server, so that we can make the best use of those that offer the best results. 
• The number of visitors per day to each section of the website. This allows us to see which are the most successful areas, and add to, or improve, their content, in order to improve user satisfaction. 

Marketing cookies

We use marketing cookies to manage our advertisement spaces. These cookies allow us to manage these spaces on the basis of technical criteria such as the edited content or the frequency with which the advertisements are shown.

 

We also use cookies that enable us to analyse the browsing habits of users and thus build up specific profiles, and then show personalised advertisements based on these profiles.

 

To enable us to keep our online advertising up to date and relevant, we occasionally use selective online advertising programmes and in this way promote our website and improve the effectiveness of our advertising. The partner companies involved in these programmes can show you advertisements based on the information about your tastes and interests gathered from the data generated by your browsing of our website or the websites of the third-party companies involved in the programme. To this end, these third-party companies can install a cookie on your browser to identify you as part of the relevant audience. They can also detect that you have visited our website previously by using a tracking cookie they have installed.

 

You can obtain more information about online behavioural advertising, and on ways to manage your browser’s privacy settings so that it rejects this type of data handling at www.youronlinechoices.eu

 

During your browsing session, the following selective advertising cookies may be installed by third parties.
