Loen & Asdos., S.L. informs about the use of cookies on its website: www.grupoloen.com

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through websites. They are tools that play a crucial role in providing numerous services in the information society. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or their device, and, depending on the information gathered, they can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on who manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

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

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

In the case that cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the publisher but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification based on how long the cookies remain stored in the user’s browser, which can be:

• Session cookies: Designed to gather and store data while the user is accessing a website. These are typically used to store information that is only needed for the service requested by the user during a single session (e.g., a list of purchased products).

• Persistent cookies: The data remains stored on the terminal device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification of cookies based on the purpose for which the collected data is processed:

• Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the various options or services that exist within it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in an order, completing a purchase, registering for an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or audio distribution, or sharing content through social networks.

• Customization cookies: Allow the user to access the service with certain general characteristics pre-defined based on a set of criteria on the user’s terminal, such as language, type of browser, regional settings, etc.

• Analytical cookies: Enable the cookie manager to track and analyze the behavior of users on the websites they are linked to. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms and to create user navigation profiles, aiming to introduce improvements based on the analysis of data from how users interact with the service.

• Advertising cookies: Allow the effective management of advertising spaces.

• Behavioral advertising cookies: Store information about users’ behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, enabling the development of a specific profile for displaying advertising based on it.

• External social media cookies: These are used so that visitors can interact with the content from various social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.), and are only generated for users of these social media platforms. The conditions of use of these cookies and the information collected are regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
