The party responsible for the cookie policy of the website is Horizont Atlantic S.L.., holder of NIF: B76515980. Here we will explain, in clear and simple language, everything you need to know so that you can control cookies based on your personal decisions.
What are cookies and what do we use them for?
A cookie, or computer cookie, is a small piece of information that is stored 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, since it collects certain information concerning you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
For this reason, in accordance with the applicable regulations (LSSI and current personal data protection regulations), the activation of certain types of cookies will require your prior authorisation.
Through a step as simple and quick as ticking a box in our COOKIE SETTINGS section, you will be able to give your authorisation for the activation of the cookies you wish: take control and enjoy personalised browsing on our site.
Before doing so, we will give you some additional information that will help you make a better decision in this regard:
- 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 rest of the cookies can 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, requiring your prior authorisation for their activation, which you can give through a step as simple and quick as ticking a box in our COOKIE SETTINGS section.
- Some cookies are ours (we will refer to them as own cookies) and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will refer to them as third-party cookies: an example could be cookies from external providers such as Google). In this regard, it is important that you know that some of these external providers may be located outside Spain.
Worldwide, 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 rely on trustworthy providers who, regardless of whether or not they are located in the European Union, have adopted appropriate safeguards for the protection of your personal information. However, in the section entitled WHAT TYPE 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 on whether or not to activate the third-party cookies used by our website.
- Finally, we should point out 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 usually used to store 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 specified period, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
What type of cookies can 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, for example, allows us to identify you, give you access to certain restricted parts of the site if necessary, or remember different options or services already selected by you, such as your privacy preferences. Therefore, they are activated by default, and your authorisation is not required for them.
Through your browser settings, you can block or be alerted to the presence of this type of cookie, although such blocking will affect the correct functioning of the different features of our website.
– Analytics Cookies:
Analytics cookies allow us to study the browsing behaviour of our website users in general (for example, which sections of the site 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 site itself and the various services it offers. Therefore, these cookies do not have an advertising purpose, but only serve to make our website work better, adapting it to our users in general. By activating them, you will contribute to this continuous improvement.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the corresponding box, and they are deactivated by default.
– Functionality and Personalisation Cookies:
Functionality cookies allow us to remember your preferences, in order to personalise certain features and general options of our website to your measure, every time you access it (for example, the language in which the information is presented to you, the sections marked as favourites, your browser type, etc.).
Therefore, this type of cookie does not have an advertising purpose, but by activating it you will improve the functionality of the website (for example, by adapting it to your browser type) and its personalisation based on your preferences (for example, presenting the information in the language you have chosen on previous occasions), which will contribute to the ease, usability and comfort of our site during your browsing.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the corresponding box, and 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 shown or the frequency with which the advertisements are shown.
For example, if the same advertisement has been shown to you several times on our website, and you have not shown 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 and varied, and less repetitive.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the corresponding box, and 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 explain this in a very simple way, we will give you a fictitious example: if your latest searches on the web were related to suspense literature, we would show you advertising about suspense books.
Therefore, by activating this type of cookie, the advertising we show you on our website will not be generic, but will be aimed at your searches, tastes and interests, thus being tailored exclusively to you.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the corresponding box, and they are deactivated by default.
