Cookie Policy
The person responsible for the cookie policy of this website is Horizont Atlantic S.L.. , with NIF: B76515980. Here we will explain in clear and simple language all the information you need to have control over them 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 concerning you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
For this reason, based on the provisions of the applicable regulations (LSSI-CE 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 can give your authorisation for the cookies you wish to activate: take control and enjoy personalised browsing on our website.
Before doing so, we will give you some additional information to 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, they do not require your authorisation and they are the only ones we have activated by default.
– The remaining 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, and your prior authorisation is required to activate them, which you can give through a step as simple and quick as ticking a box in our COOKIE SETTINGS section.
- Some cookies belong to us (we will call them first-party cookies) and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will call them third-party cookies: an example might be cookies from external providers such as Google). In this regard, it is important for you to know that some of these external providers may be located outside Spain.
At a global level, 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 trustworthy providers who, regardless of whether or not they are located within the European Union, have adopted adequate safeguards for the protection of your personal information. However, in the section entitled WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?, you can consult the respective 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: they expire automatically when you end the session on your computer, smartphone or tablet. They are generally used to retain the information needed while a service is being provided to you on a single occasion.
– Persistent cookies: they remain stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet for a set period, which may 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 browse it. This type of cookie is what, for example, allows us to identify you, give you access to certain restricted parts of the website if necessary, or remember different options or services you have already selected, 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 alert to the presence of this type of cookie, although such blocking will affect the correct functioning of the various features of our website.
– Analytics Cookies:
Analytics cookies allow us to study the browsing behaviour of users of 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 have an advertising purpose, but solely serve to make our website work better, adapting to our users in general. By activating them you will be contributing to this ongoing improvement.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the relevant box, and 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 specifications each time you access it (for example, the language in which information is presented to you, the sections you have marked as favourites, your browser type, etc.).
Therefore, this type of cookie does not have an advertising purpose, but 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 ease, usability and comfort while browsing our website.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the relevant 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 displayed or the frequency with which adverts are shown.
For example, if the same advert has been shown to you several times on our website and you have not shown a personal interest by clicking on it, it will not be displayed again. In summary, 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 relevant 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 show you advertising content that better matches your personal tastes and interests.
To illustrate this very simply, we will give you a fictional example: if your recent searches on the web were related to thriller literature, we would show you advertising for 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, thereby being tailored exclusively to you.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by ticking the relevant box, and they are deactivated by default.
