COOKIES POLICY
Why do we have to inform you about cookies?
Within the regulation LSSI-CE (Law of the Information Society and Electronic Commerce), there is a section dedicated to cookies. Those who have a website or a blog that downloads third-party cookies in your browser must explain this section. They must inform the user about the type of cookies, the duration and the purpose of each of them.
You will already imagine that this is not exactly simple…
But we have an obligation to try to get as close as possible to these demands.
The fact is that this blog uses its own and third-party cookies to get you a better browsing experience. You can share content on social networks and also obtain statistics and browsing habits of users of this blog.
As a user, you can refuse the processing of data or information by blocking these cookies by configuring your browser. But of course, you should know that if you do it, this site will not work correctly.
What is clear is that according to article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 on Services of the Information Society and Electronic Commerce:
“If you continue browsing, you will be giving your consent for the use of these cookies”
That is why it is important that you read this cookie policy and understand that if you continue browsing, we will consider that you accept its use. You can change the settings of your browser to notify you of the receipt of cookies on your hard drive. Or disable if you want the ability to store these cookies on your hard drive (we'll explain how to do it later).
And what is a cookie?
Well, a cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages or blogs.
Cookies allow that page, among other things, to store and retrieve information about your browsing habits or your equipment. And depending on the information they contain and the way you use your equipment, they can be used to recognize you.
In any case, a cookie is not a virus, or a Trojan, or a worm, or spam, or spyware, or open windows pop-up.
Taking into account the way in which the Internet and websites work, it is not always possible to have information on the cookies placed by third parties through our blog. This applies especially to cases in which our blog contains what are called integrated elements: texts, documents, images or short films that are stored elsewhere but shown in this blog.
In addition to the derivatives of analysis plugins used by albertochueca.com
And remember that if you do not want cookies stored in your browser or if you want to receive a notification each time a cookie requests to be installed, you can configure your browser to do so.
Most browsers allow the management of cookies in 3 different ways:
- Cookies are always rejected.
- The browser asks if the user wants to install each cookie.
- Cookies are always accepted. The browser may also include the possibility of specifying better which cookies have to be accepted and which do not. You usually have these options:
- Reject the cookies of certain domains.
- Reject third-party cookies.
- Accept cookies as non-persistent (they are deleted when the browser closes).
- Allow the server to create cookies for a different domain.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you such as credit cards or bank details, photographs or personal information, etc. The data they keep are of a technical nature, statistics, personal preferences, personalization of contents, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person, but your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with the Chrome browser and try to navigate through the same web with the Firefox browser. You will see that the web does not realize that you are the same person. It's because, in reality, you are associating the information with the browser, not the person.
What kind of cookies are there?
- Technical cookies: they are the most basic and allow, among other things, to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous and registered user navigates, and basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic web.
- Analysis cookies: they collect information about the type of navigation you are doing, the sections you use most, products that you consult, time zone of use, language, etc.
- Advertising cookies: show advertising based on your browsing, country of origin, language, etc.
