Cookie Policy

The LSSI-CE requires all of us who have a blog or a website to inform users of the existence of cookies, inform them about them, and require their permission to download them.

Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002: “Service providers may use data storage and retrieval devices on recipients’ terminal equipment, provided that they have given their consent after being provided with clear and complete information about their use, particularly about the purposes of data processing, in accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 15/1999, of December 13, on the Protection of Personal Data.”

As the person responsible for this website, I have worked hard to comply with Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce regarding cookies. However, considering the way the Internet and websites work, it is not always possible to have updated information on the cookies that third parties may use through this website.

This applies especially to cases where this webpage contains integrated elements: that is, texts, documents, images, or short films stored elsewhere but displayed on our website.

Therefore, if you encounter such cookies on this website and they are not listed below, please inform me. You can also contact the third party directly to request information about the cookies they place, the purpose, and duration of the cookie, and how they have guaranteed your privacy.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are a tool used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors. It is nothing more than a text file that some servers ask our browser to write on our hard drive, with information about what we have been doing on their pages. They have an expiration date, which can range from the time the session lasts to a future specified date, after which they cease to be operational.

Types of Cookies

a) Depending on the entity that manages them, there are:

  • Own Cookies (those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher and from which the service requested by the user is provided) and
  • Third-Party Cookies (those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies).

b) Depending on the time they remain active, there are:

  • Session Cookies (designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page) and
  • Persistent Cookies (in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the cookie’s controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years).

c) Depending on the purpose for which they process the information they collect, they can be:

  • Technical Cookies (necessary for the use of the website and the provision of the contracted service),
  • Personalization Cookies (allow the user to access the service with predefined characteristics such as language, browser type, regional configuration, etc.),
  • Analysis Cookies (collect information on the use of the website),
  • Advertising Cookies (collect information on users’ preferences and personal choices),
  • Affiliate Cookies (allow tracking of visits from other websites, with which the site establishes an affiliation contract).
