COOKIE POLICY
Oscar Fernández Conde, through this document, outlines its Cookie Collection and Processing Policy, in compliance with the provisions of article 22.2 of Law 34/2002, of July 11, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSICE).
Cookies are stored on the user’s terminal equipment (computer or mobile device) and collect information when visiting Oscar Fernández Conde’s website with the aim of improving the usability of the site, understanding user browsing habits or needs to adapt to them, as well as obtaining information for statistical purposes. For those users who are already customers of Oscar Fernández Conde, the information collected with cookies will also serve to identify them when accessing the various tools that Oscar Fernández Conde provides for managing services.
This Cookie Policy applies to users who voluntarily visit Oscar Fernández Conde’s web pages, fill out data collection forms, access the tools that Oscar Fernández Conde provides to its customers for service management, or use any other service on the website that involves data communication to Oscar Fernández Conde or access to data by Oscar Fernández Conde for service provision.
Oscar Fernández Conde informs users of its web pages about the use of cookies and provides this Policy to inform them about their use and purpose. Continuing to navigate through its pages implies knowledge and acceptance of this Policy by users.
What are Cookies?
A cookie is a file or device that is downloaded to the user’s terminal equipment for the purpose of storing data that can be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for its installation. In other words, it is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or their device, and, depending on the information they contain and how the user uses their device, they can be used to recognize the user.
Information about Cookies
- User input cookies
- Authentication or user identification session cookies.
- User security cookies.
- Multimedia player session cookies.
- Load balancing session cookies.
- User interface customization cookies.
- Certain social content sharing plugin cookies.
It can be understood that these cookies fall outside the scope of the application of Article 22.2 of the LSSI, and therefore, it would not be necessary to inform or obtain consent for their use. On the contrary, it will be necessary to inform and obtain consent for the use of any other type of cookies, whether first-party or third-party, session or persistent, that are not excluded from the scope of application of Article 22.2 of the LSSI, and these are where the guidelines in this guide will be useful.
That said, for the sake of transparency, it is recommended to inform, at least in a general manner, about those cookies excluded from the scope of application of Article 22.2 of the LSSI, either in the cookie policy or in the privacy policy
(for example: “This website uses cookies that enable the operation and provision of the services offered on it”).
In any case, it should be noted that a single cookie can have more than one purpose (multifunctional cookies), so there is a possibility that a cookie is excluded from the scope of application of Article 22.2 of the LSSI for one or more of its purposes and not for others, with the latter being subject to the scope of application of this provision. This should, in the words of the GT29, “encourage website owners to use a different cookie for each purpose.”
Regarding the cookie management or configuration systems referred to later in this guide, when multifunctional cookies with two or more different purposes are used and are not excluded from the scope of application of Article 22.2 of the LSSI, it must be ensured that these cookies are only used if all the purposes they group are accepted. In other words, if a cookie serves two purposes, but the user only accepts one of them, the cookie should not be used, unless the management system used allows for differentiated treatment of the different purposes of these multifunctional cookies, so that it is possible that if the user accepts one of their purposes and not others, the cookie only operates with the accepted purpose.
Cookies According to Their Duration
There are different types of cookies based on their nature, and they are classified into the following categories:
Types of Cookies More Information:
According to the time frame:
Session Cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are typically used to store information that is only needed for the provision of a service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent Cookies: These are cookies in which data remains stored on the user’s device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which can range from minutes to several years.
According to their purpose:
Technical Cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use various options or services available on it. This category includes cookies used by the publisher to manage and operate the website, enabling its functions and services (e.g., traffic control, data communication, session identification, access to restricted areas, and other similar technical purposes).
Customization Cookies: These allow the website to remember information so that the user can access the service with specific characteristics that distinguish their experience from that of other users. This may include language preferences, the number of search results displayed, the appearance or content of the service based on the user’s browser type or region of access, and so on.
Analytics Cookies: These enable the controller to track and analyze the behavior of users on the websites they are linked to, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected by these cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms, with the goal of making improvements based on user data analysis.
Behavioral Advertising Cookies: These store information about users’ behavior, obtained through continuous monitoring of their browsing habits. This allows the creation of specific user profiles for displaying advertisements tailored to those profiles.
According to the entity that manages them:
First-party Cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher, and from which the requested service is provided.
Third-party Cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies.
