Use of Cookies

The second section of Article 22 of the LSSI establishes:

Service providers may use data storage and retrieval devices on recipient terminal equipment, provided they have given their consent after having been provided with clear and complete information about their use, particularly regarding the purposes of data processing, in accordance with Organic Law 15/1999, of December 13, on Personal Data Protection. When technically possible and effective, the recipient’s consent to accept data processing may be facilitated through the use of appropriate browser settings or other applications, provided that they must configure them during their installation or update by an explicit action for that purpose. This will not prevent possible technical storage or access for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network or, as strictly necessary, for the provision of an information society service explicitly requested by the recipient. What is a “cookie”?

A “cookie” is a simple text file stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server, which only that server can access and read the contents of that file. Each “cookie” is unique to your browser. It may contain anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the website name, or some digits and numbers. It allows a website to remember things like your preferences or what’s in your shopping cart.

What if I do not want to accept “cookies” on my device?

You can learn how to disable “cookies” in most browsers by visiting this website http://www.aboutcookies.org. Be aware that disabling cookies on websites will make the site not function correctly.

The types of “cookies” used are as follows:

Primary “Cookies”

Primary “cookies” are those set by the websites and can only be read by each site.

Third-Party “Cookies”

Third-party “cookies” are provided by organizations other than the website owner you are visiting. The site you visit may also include embedded content from other third-party services that may set their own “cookies”. The origin website does not control the dissemination of those “cookies” so you should check the third-party websites for more information about these “cookies”.

Session “Cookies”

Session “cookies” are temporarily stored during a browser session and are automatically deleted from the user’s device when the browser is closed.

Persistent “Cookies”

This type of “cookie” is stored on your computer for a fixed period and is not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used when you need to know who you are for more than one browsing session.

Flash “Cookies”

Flash “cookies” work differently than browser “cookies” (the “cookies” listed in this document correspond to browser cookies), instead of using individual cookies for specific tasks, a website is limited to storing all data in a single “cookie”. Flash allows you to configure how much information can be stored in that “cookie” but does not allow you to choose what type of information is allowed to be stored.
