Cookie Policy

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit any website. The purpose of a cookie is to allow the website to remember your visit when you browse that page again. Although many people don't know it, cookies have been in use for 20 years, since the first web browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.

What is NOT a cookie?

It is not a virus, nor a Trojan, nor a worm, nor spam, nor spyware, and it does not open pop-up windows.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive personal information, such as credit cards or bank details, photographs, your ID number or personal information, etc. The data they store is technical in nature, such as personal preferences, content personalisation, etc.

The web server does not associate you as a person but rather your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try browsing the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you'll see that the website doesn't recognise you as the same person, because in reality it's associating the browser, not the person.

What types of cookies exist?

● Technical cookies: These are the most basic and allow, among other things, knowing whether a human being or an automated application is browsing, whether an anonymous or a registered user is browsing — basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic website.
● Analytics cookies: These collect information about the type of browsing taking place, the sections used most, products viewed, time of use, language, etc.
● Advertising cookies: These display advertising based on your browsing, your country of origin, language, etc.

What are first-party and third-party cookies?

First-party cookies are those generated by the page you are visiting, while third-party cookies are those generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.

What happens if I disable cookies?

To help you understand the scope of disabling cookies, here are some examples:

● You won't be able to share content from that website on Facebook, Twitter or any other social network.
● The website won't be able to adapt its content to your personal preferences, as usually happens on online stores.
● You won't be able to access the personal area of that website, such as My Account, My Profile or My Orders.
● Online stores: It will be impossible for you to make purchases online; you will need to do so by phone or by visiting the physical store, if available.
● It won't be possible to personalise your geographic preferences such as time zone, currency or language.
● The website won't be able to carry out web analytics on visitors and traffic, which will make it harder for the site to remain competitive.
● You won't be able to write on the blog, upload photos, post comments, or rate or score content. The website also won't be able to tell whether you're a human being or an automated application posting spam.
● Targeted advertising won't be able to be shown, which will reduce the website's advertising revenue.
● All social networks use cookies; if you disable them, you won't be able to use any social network.

Can cookies be deleted?
