COOKIES POLICY

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are data storage and retrieval devices that can be downloaded to users' end devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc.) through their browser.

Cookies are tools that play an essential role in the provision of numerous information society services. Among various purposes, they can store and retrieve information about a user's or their device's browsing habits and, depending on the information they contain and the way the device is used, recognize the user each time they access the website, so it operates more efficiently, personalizing its content and improving user interaction and the service offered.

2. What types of cookies are there?

Below is a classification of cookies based on a series of categories. However, note that a single cookie can be included in more than one category.

2.1. According to the entity that manages them

Depending on the entity that manages the equipment or domain from which the cookies are installed and who processes the data obtained, we can distinguish:

  • Own cookies: sent to the user's device from a device or domain managed by the publisher and from which the requested service is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: sent to the user's device from a device or domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

If cookies are served from a device or domain managed by the publisher but the information collected is managed by a third party, they are not considered own cookies if the third party uses them for their own purposes.

2.2. According to the length of time they remain active

Depending on how long they remain active on the user's device, we can distinguish:

  • Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the user accesses an application or website. Typically used to store information needed only for the duration of the service requested by the user.
  • Persistent cookies: data remains stored on the user's device even after the session ends and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the cookie's controller.

2.3. According to their purpose

Depending on the purpose of the data processing obtained through cookies, the purposes may include:

  • Technical cookies: essential and strictly necessary for the user's navigation through the website and the use of the different options or services available.
  • Personalization cookies: allow remembering information so the user can access the service with certain specified or personalized characteristics.
  • Analytical cookies: enable the tracking and analysis of user behavior on the website. The information is used to measure site activity and improve based on usage data analysis.
  • Advertising cookies: allow effective management of advertising spaces.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: store information about users' browsing behavior, allowing the creation of specific profiles to display personalized ads.

The use of some cookies is exempt from the obligation to obtain user consent. For non-exempt cookies, informed and free consent is always required. Specific uses of cookies by Alfanar and other third-party publishers are described below.
