CIVARO ADVISORS, S.L. provides information about the use of cookies on its website: www.civaroadvisors.com
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through websites. They are essential tools for providing many information society services. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or device and, depending on the information obtained, may be used to recognise the user and improve the service provided.
The use of cookies may be subject to the user’s consent, in accordance with the provisions of Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSICE) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
2. TYPES OF COOKIES
Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types of cookies can be distinguished:
- First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a device or domain managed by the website publisher, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a device or domain that is not managed by the website publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the website publisher, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.
A second classification is based on how long cookies remain stored in the user’s browser:
- Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are generally used to retain information that is only needed for the provision of a requested service on a single occasion (e.g. a list of products purchased).
- Persistent cookies: Data remain stored on the user’s device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, ranging from a few minutes to several years.
Finally, cookies can be classified into six types according to the purpose for which the data obtained are processed:
- Technical cookies: These allow users to navigate a website, platform or application and use its various options or services. Examples include controlling traffic and data communication, identifying a session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in an order, completing a purchase, submitting registration or participation requests for an event, using security features while browsing, storing content for video or audio playback, and sharing content through social networks.
- Personalisation cookies: These allow users to access a service with certain predefined general settings based on criteria stored on their device, such as language, browser type or regional settings.
- Analytics cookies: These allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse user behaviour on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected is used to measure activity on websites, applications or platforms and to compile browsing profiles, with the aim of introducing improvements based on analysis of how users interact with the service.
- Advertising cookies: These enable advertising space to be managed as efficiently as possible.
- Behavioural advertising cookies: These store information about users’ behaviour, obtained through the continuous monitoring of their browsing habits. This makes it possible to develop specific profiles and display advertising tailored to those profiles.
- Third-party social media cookies: These allow visitors to interact with content on various social media platforms, such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn. They are set only for users of those platforms. The conditions governing the use of these cookies and the information collected are set out in the privacy policy of the relevant social media platform.
