What is a cookie?

Cookies are small files that are stored in the browser used by each visitor to our Website so that the server can remember the user’s visit when they return to access our content. This information does not reveal your identity, or any personal data, nor does it access the content stored on your PC, but it does allow our system to identify you as a specific user who has previously visited the Website, viewed certain pages, etc. It also allows us to save your personal preferences and technical information, such as visits made or specific pages visited.

In compliance with Directive 2009/136/EC, implemented in our legal system by the second paragraph of Article 22 of the Law on Information Society Services, and in accordance with the guidelines of the Spanish Data Protection Agency, we hereby inform you in detail about the use made of cookies on our Website.

This cookie policy aims to inform you clearly and precisely about the cookies used on our Website (the “Cookie Policy”). Regarding third-party cookies, i.e., those that are not part of our Website, we cannot be held responsible for the content and accuracy of the privacy policies they include, so the information we provide is always with reference to the source.

Below, we classify cookies according to a number of categories. However, please note that a single cookie may fall into more than one category.

Types of cookies according to the entity that manages them

  • First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

  • Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

Types of cookies according to the length of time they remain active

  • Session cookies: These are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page.

  • Persistent cookies: These are a type of cookie in which data remain stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the controller of the cookie, which may range from a few minutes to several years.

Types of cookies according to their purpose

  • Technical or functional cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in a shopping cart, processing a purchase, signing up or participating in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or audio, or sharing content via social media.

  • Customization cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria on the user’s device, such as language, type of browser used to access the service, regional settings from where the service is accessed, etc.

  • Advertising cookies: These allow for the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces that the editor may have 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 ads are displayed.

  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These allow for the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces that the editor may have included on a web page, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on users’ behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing for the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.

  • Analytics cookies: These allow their owner to monitor and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms and to create browsing profiles for the users of said sites, applications, and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the data on how users use the service.

Regarding the processing of data collected through analytics cookies, although they are not exempt from the obligation to obtain informed consent for their use, they are unlikely to pose a privacy risk to users provided they are first-party cookies, process aggregated data for strictly statistical purposes, provide clear information about their use, and include a mechanism for users to opt out.

Currently, most browsers are set by default to block the installation of advertising or third-party cookies on your device. Users can adjust the origin restrictions to block all types of cookies or lift the restrictions to allow all types of cookies. If you are interested in accepting advertising or third-party cookies, you can configure your browser accordingly.

By clicking the ACCEPT button displayed in the initial cookie information notice, you are expressly consenting to the use of cookies by the controller, and you may exercise your rights and withdraw your consent at any time by submitting a request to CONTACTICA SL.

If you do not wish cookies to be stored in your browser or prefer to be informed each time a cookie requests to be installed, you can configure your browser settings accordingly. Most browsers allow cookie management in three ways:

  • Cookies are always rejected;

  • The browser asks the user whether to accept each cookie;

  • Cookies are always accepted.

Your browser may also include the possibility of selecting more specifically which cookies you want to be installed on your device. In particular, users can typically accept one of the following options:

  • Reject cookies from certain domains;

  • Reject third-party cookies;

  • Accept non-persistent cookies (which are deleted when the browser is closed);

  • Allow the server to create cookies for a domain different from the one being accessed.

To allow, know, block, or delete cookies installed on your device, you can do so by configuring the settings of the browser installed on your computer.
