COOKIE POLICY

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a text file that a web server can save on your computer’s hard drive to store information about you as a user. Cookies serve various purposes, such as storing data for future visits, recognising users so that they do not have to authenticate themselves again, identifying which pages they visit, or saving preferences in customisable areas. Websites generally use cookies to obtain statistical information about their pages and analyse the behaviour of their customers and users.

Cookies used for any of the following purposes are exempt from the obligations laid down in Article 22.2 of the Spanish Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI):

• • • Solely to enable communication between the user’s device and the network.
    • To provide a service expressly requested by the user, where the cookie is strictly necessary for that purpose.

These exempt cookies therefore include those used for the following purposes:

• • • User input cookies. These are stored on a user’s device when they enter information on a website, for example when completing a web form.
    • User authentication or identification cookies (session cookies only). These identify users when they enter their credentials to log in.
    • User security cookies. These detect security issues or risks, such as repeated unsuccessful login attempts.
    • Multimedia player session cookies. These enable multimedia content to be played on the websites users visit. For example, these cookies allow videos to play automatically when users enter a website.
    • Load-balancing session cookies. These connect the website’s server and the user’s server so that information can be transmitted between them.
    • User interface customisation cookies. These remember users’ preferences while they browse a website, such as their language or chosen browser.
    • Certain social content sharing plug-in cookies. These are used when users access social networks through a website, for example when sharing an article from a website on social media.

Our specific uses of these technologies are described in the following sections.

TYPES OF COOKIES

Cookies can be classified according to the following criteria:

Depending on who installs them, cookies may be:

First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the website operator, 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 managed either by us or by a third party, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party other than the website owner.

Depending on how long they are stored, cookies may be:

Session cookies: These last for as long as the user browses the website and are deleted when the browsing session ends.

Persistent cookies: These remain stored on the user’s device for a longer period, making it easier to retain chosen preferences without having to select certain settings again on each visit to the website.

Depending on their purpose, cookies may be:

Technical cookies: These are essential and strictly necessary for a website to function correctly and for users to access its various features and services. Examples include cookies that maintain a session, enable security features or allow content to be shared on social networks.

Customisation cookies: These allow users to choose or customise website features such as language, regional settings or browser type.

Analytics cookies: These are used by websites to create browsing profiles and identify users’ preferences in order to improve the products and services offered. They make it possible to identify, for example, the geographical areas of greatest interest to a user and the most popular information on the website.

Advertising cookies: These store information about users’ behaviour obtained by continuously monitoring their browsing habits, allowing a specific profile to be developed to display advertising based on it.

COOKIES USED ON OUR WEBSITE

ccsantelmo.com uses the following types of cookies on its website:

Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics cookies to measure the number of users visiting the website. These cookies allow us to measure and analyse how users browse the website. This information enables LOS CRISTIANOS SAN TELMO, S.A. to continually improve its services and the experience of website users. For more information, please see the Google Analytics privacy page: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/11397207?hl=es-419

The first-party and third-party cookies used on our website and installed on our own domain are as follows:

Like most websites, this website includes features provided by third parties.

Our website is continually evolving, and new designs or third-party services may be added. This may occasionally change the cookie settings and introduce cookies that are not described in detail in this policy.

INFORMATION AND CONSENT FOR INSTALLATION

ccsantelmo.com has sought to put appropriate mechanisms in place to obtain users’ consent for cookies, tracking pixels and web beacons that are not strictly necessary. This includes analytics or measurement tracking technologies, which will not be installed without the user’s express consent.

When you access our website, a pop-up provides full details about cookies and other tracking technologies and allows you to choose which to accept.

Users will not have to give consent every time they visit the website. We will retain their consent and tracking technology preferences for a maximum of 24 months. Before that period expires, we will ask them to renew their consent for cookies and other tracking technologies.

HOW CAN I PREVENT COOKIES FROM BEING INSTALLED?

Users may refuse the installation of cookies and other tracking technologies according to their preferences, except those they expressly authorise or technical cookies that must be installed to ensure the website functions correctly. They can indicate which they wish to accept or reject in the cookie consent pop-up displayed when they access the home page. There are also other ways to prevent cookies or other tracking technologies from being installed on a device, as explained below.

Users can configure their browser to accept or reject cookies, or to notify them when a server wishes to store a cookie. If certain technical cookies are disabled, some website features may not function correctly.

Users can prevent Google Analytics “analytics and advertising” cookies from being stored on their device by using the opt-out mechanisms provided by Google Analytics.

Below are some further examples of how to disable cookies:

• • • Through your browser settings:
  • • Internet Explorer: http://windows.microsoft.com/es-es/windows-vista/block-or-allow-cookies
    • Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/es/kb/Borrar%20cookies
    • Safari:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1677?viewlocale=es_ES.

• • • Through third-party tools:

Third-party tools are available online that allow users to identify cookies on each website they visit and manage their deactivation, for example:

http://www.ghostery.com

http://www.youronlinechoices.com/es/

Users can always allow or block cookies and delete their browsing data (including cookies) through their browser. Please consult your browser’s settings and instructions. Bear in mind that if you accept third-party cookies, you will need to delete them through your browser settings.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

If you choose to leave our website through links to other websites that do not belong to our organisation, we will not be responsible for those websites’ privacy policies or any cookies they may store on your computer.

HOW DO WE COLLECT AND USE IP ADDRESSES?

The website’s servers may automatically detect the IP address and domain name used by users.

An IP address is a number automatically assigned to a computer when it connects to the Internet. This information allows data to be processed subsequently to establish whether you have consented to the installation of cookies and to carry out purely statistical measurements, such as determining the number of visits to the website, the order of visits and the access point.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Cookies and other tracking technologies installed on our website’s domain are installed on our server. The data collected through them is therefore not subject to international data transfers.

Third-party cookies installed on our website by third-party domains may involve international data transfers. For further information about the possible international data transfers associated with these cookies, we recommend clicking on the “more information” section for the cookie you wish to consult.

Information about any transfers that may be carried out by the third parties identified in this Cookie Policy is available in their respective policies (see the following link: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=es).

UPDATES TO OUR COOKIE POLICY

We review this policy periodically to ensure that it remains up to date, and it may therefore be amended. We recommend visiting this page regularly, where we will inform you of any updates.
