The party responsible for the cookie policy of this website is Horizont Atlantic S.L.., with VAT number: B76515980. Here we will explain in plain and simple language everything you need to know so that you can maintain control over cookies based on your personal decisions.
What are cookies and what do we use them for?
A cookie is a small information file that is saved on your computer, smartphone or tablet every time you visit our website.
In principle, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, trojans, worms, etc. that could damage your device, but it does have a certain impact on your right to the protection of your personal data, as it collects certain information relating to you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
For this reason, based on the provisions of applicable regulations (LSSI and current personal data protection legislation), the activation of certain types of cookies will require your prior authorisation.
By means of a step as simple and quick as ticking a box in our COOKIE SETTINGS section, you can give your authorisation for the activation of the cookies you wish: take control and enjoy a personalised browsing experience on our website.
Before doing so, we will provide you with some additional information to help you make a better-informed decision:
- Cookies can be of various types depending on their purpose:
– Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function, do not require your authorisation and are the only ones we have activated by default.
– The remaining cookies may be used to improve our website, to personalise it based on your preferences, or to show you advertising tailored to your searches, tastes and personal interests. All of them are deactivated by default, and your prior authorisation is required to activate them, which you can provide by means of a step as simple and quick as ticking a box in our COOKIE SETTINGS section.
- Some cookies are our own (we will call them own cookies) and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will call them third-party cookies: an example could be cookies from external providers such as Google). In this regard, it is important to know that some of these external providers may be located outside Spain.
Globally, not all countries have the same level of data protection, with some countries being safer than others (for example, the European Union is a safe environment for your data). Our policy is to use reliable providers who, regardless of whether or not they are located in the European Union, have adopted adequate safeguards for the protection of your personal information. Nevertheless, in the section entitled WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?, you can consult the different privacy and data protection policies of each of the aforementioned external providers, in order to make an informed decision about whether or not to activate the third-party cookies used on our website.
- Finally, please note that, depending on the length of time they remain active, cookies can be of two types:
– Session cookies: these expire automatically when you end your session on your computer, smartphone or tablet. They are generally used to retain the information necessary while a service is being provided to you on a single occasion.
– Persistent cookies: these remain stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet for a set period of time, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
What types of cookies may we use on our website?
– Technical Cookies:
Technical cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function and for you to be able to browse it. This type of cookie is what allows us, for example, to identify you, give you access to certain restricted parts of the website if necessary, or remember different options or services already selected by you, such as your privacy preferences. For this reason, they are activated by default and your authorisation is not required.
Through your browser settings, you can block or receive alerts about the presence of this type of cookie, although doing so may affect the proper functioning of the various features of our website.
– Analytics Cookies:
Analytics cookies allow us to study the browsing behaviour of users on our website in general (for example, which sections of the website are most visited, which services are used most and whether they work correctly, etc.).
Based on the statistical information about browsing on our website, we can improve both the functioning of the website itself and the various services it offers. Therefore, these cookies do not serve an advertising purpose, but solely help our website to work better, adapting to our users in general. By activating them you will contribute to this ongoing improvement.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the corresponding box; they are deactivated by default.
– Functionality and Personalisation Cookies:
Functionality cookies allow us to remember your preferences, in order to personalise certain characteristics and general options of our website to your needs, each time you access it (for example, the language in which information is presented to you, sections marked as favourites, your browser type, etc.).
Therefore, this type of cookie does not serve an advertising purpose; by activating them you will improve the functionality of the website (for example, adapting to your browser type) and its personalisation based on your preferences (for example, presenting information in the language you have chosen on previous occasions), which will contribute to the ease, usability and comfort of our website during your browsing.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the corresponding box; they are deactivated by default.
– Advertising Cookies:
Advertising cookies allow us to manage the advertising spaces included on our website based on criteria such as the content displayed or the frequency with which advertisements are shown.
For example, if you have been shown the same advertisement several times on our website and have not shown a personal interest by clicking on it, it will not appear again. In short, by activating this type of cookie, the advertising shown on our website will be more useful, varied and less repetitive.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the corresponding box; they are deactivated by default.
– Behavioural Advertising Cookies:
Behavioural advertising cookies allow us to obtain information based on the observation of your browsing habits and behaviour on the web, in order to be able to show you advertising content that better matches your tastes and personal interests.
To illustrate this in a simple way, we will give you a fictional example: if your recent web searches were related to thriller literature, we would show you advertising about thriller books.
Therefore, by activating this type of cookie, the advertising we show you on our website will not be generic, but will be targeted to your searches, tastes and interests, thus tailored exclusively to you.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the corresponding box; they are deactivated by default.
