What are cookies?

Cookies are a set of data that a server deposits in the user’s browser to collect standard Internet log information and information on the behaviour of visitors to a website. In other words, they are small text files that are stored on the computer’s hard drive and serve to identify the user when he or she connects to the website again. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and save certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the web as it allows the pages to function more efficiently and to achieve greater personalisation and analysis of user behaviour.
The cookies used on our website are session cookies and third party cookies, and allow us to store and access information relating to language, the type of browser used, and other general characteristics predefined by the user, as well as to follow and analyse the activity carried out, with the aim of introducing improvements and providing our services in a more efficient and personalised manner.

Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. Those that expire when the user closes the browser. Those that expire depending on when the objective for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified in the services of Juan Luis Barrales Balmaseda) or when they are deleted manually.

Additionally, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:

Performance cookies

This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you don’t have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. By way of example, this type of Cookie includes Volume settings for video or sound players. Video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser. The items saved in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services such as shops.

Geo-location cookies

These cookies are used to find out which country you are in when you request a service. This cookie is completely anonymous, and is only used to help target content to your location.

Logging cookies

Registration cookies are generated once a user has registered or subsequently opened a session, and are used to identify you in the services for the following purposes:
To keep the user identified so that, if he closes a service, the browser or the computer and at another time or another day he re-enters that service, he will continue to be identified, thus facilitating his navigation without having to identify himself again. This function can be removed if the user presses the [close session] function, so that this cookie is removed and the next time the user enters the service he or she will have to log in to be identified.

Check if the user is authorised to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.

Additionally, some services may use social network connectors such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers for a service with social network credentials, he or she authorises the social network to save a persistent Cookie that remembers his or her identity and guarantees access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this Cookie and revoke access to services via social networks by updating their preferences on the social network they specify.
Each time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will serve in future visits to the services of Juan Luis Barrales Balmaseda to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives pursued are:

To allow the anonymous identification of the browsing users through the cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their tendency in time.
Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore more attractive to users. Know if the user who is accessing is new or repeats a visit.
