Cookie policy

We collect and use personal information on this website as set out in the privacy policy, and one of the ways in which information may be collected is through the use of technology called “cookies”. At visitlasmedulas.com we use cookies for various purposes.

What is a cookie?

A “cookie” is a small amount of text that is stored in a user’s browser (such as Google Chrome or Apple’s Safari) when browsing most websites. A cookie is not a virus, Trojan horse, worm, spam, spyware or pop-up.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about users, such as credit card numbers or bank details, photographs or personal information, etc. The data stored by cookies are of a technical nature or with regard to statistics, personal preferences, personalisation of content, etc.

The web server does not associate the user with a person but rather with the web browser. If users usually browse on the Chrome browser and then try browsing on the Firefox browser, for example, they will see that the website does not realise that the user is the same person because it is actually associating the information with the browser, not the person.

What types of cookies exist?

Depending on who manages the cookies, these may be:

  • First-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s device from a system or domain managed by the owner of the site being visited by the user and from which the requested service is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s device from a system or domain managed by an entity that is not the owner of the website, which processes the data obtained from said cookies.

 

Depending on their expiry date, cookies may be either:

  • Session cookies: these cookies exist only while users are browsing and disappear when they close the tab or leave the website.
  • Persistent cookies: these cookies remain on the browser to remember user information on future visits, so that the data remains stored in the system and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookies, which can range from minutes to several years.

 

Depending on their purpose and functionality, there are several types of cookies:

  • Technical cookies: these are the most basic cookies and allow, among other things, to know whether a human or an automated application is browsing, or whether an anonymous user or a registered user is browsing, which are basic tasks for the operation of any website or dynamic application. These cookies collect configuration information for the correct functioning of the website.
  • Personalisation cookies: these are useful for improving the user experience once they access the website and for modifying or remembering settings. These cookies allow users to access the service with some predefined general features such as language, type of browser through which the service is accessed, the regional configuration from which the service is accessed, etc.
  • Analytics cookies: these are cookies that collect information on the type of browsing that users are doing, the sections they use the most, the products consulted, time of day, language, etc. These cookies are responsible for tracing the behaviour of users in order to carry out a statistical study on browsing habits. They enable the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the sites to which they are linked.
  • Advertising cookies: these are cookies that show advertising based on users’ browsing habits, their country of origin, language, etc. These cookies use user behaviour to establish consumption patterns and create advertising audiences with similar tastes. They allow the management of the advertising spaces included in the website in the most efficient way possible.

Cookies accepted by the regulations and exempt cookies

According to the European Union directive, cookies that require the informed consent of users are analytical cookies and advertising and affiliate cookies, with the exception of those of a technical nature and those necessary for the operation of the website or the provision of services expressly requested by users.
