Cookies policy
1. BACKGROUND
In accordance with Spanish regulations governing the use of cookies in relation to the provision of electronic communications services, as set out in Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 of 11 July on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce, we hereby inform you about the cookies used on the website of MONTIMAR S.A. and the purpose of their use.
2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a file that is downloaded onto your computer when accessing certain websites. 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 device is used, they may be used to recognise the user.
Cookies are associated solely with an anonymous user and their computer or device and do not provide references that would allow personal data to be identified.
3. TYPES OF COOKIES
3.1. According to the entity that manages them
a) First-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the user’s terminal device from a device or domain managed by the website owner itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
b) Third-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the user’s terminal device from a device or domain that is not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
3.2. According to their purpose
Cookies may be used for different purposes. Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies are processed, they may be classified as follows:
a) Technical cookies:
These cookies allow users to browse through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available therein, including those used by the website owner to enable the management and operation of the website and its functions and services. Examples include controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the elements of an order, completing the purchase process, managing payments, controlling fraud linked to service security, registering or participating in an event, counting visits for software licence billing purposes, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio playback, enabling dynamic content (e.g. loading animations), or sharing content via social networks.
Technical cookies are exempt from the obligations established in Article 22.2 of the LSSI when they allow the service expressly requested by the user to be provided, as is the case with the cookies described above. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (for example, behavioural advertising), they will be subject to those obligations.
b) Preference or personalisation cookies:
These cookies allow information to be remembered so that users can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, number of results displayed in a search, appearance or content of the service depending on the browser type or region from which the service is accessed.
Where the user chooses these characteristics directly (for example, by selecting the website language via a country flag icon), such cookies are exempt from the obligations of Article 22.2 of the LSSI, as they are considered a service expressly requested by the user, provided that the cookies are used exclusively for the selected purpose.
c) Analytics or measurement cookies:
These cookies allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse user behaviour on the websites to which they are linked, including the measurement of advertising impacts. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms, with the aim of introducing improvements based on the analysis of user usage data.
d) Behavioural advertising cookies:
These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of browsing habits, allowing a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on that profile.
3.3. According to the length of time they remain active
a) Session cookies:
These cookies are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that is only needed for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and are deleted when the session ends.
b) Persistent cookies:
These cookies store data on the user’s device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period determined by the cookie owner, which may range from a few minutes to several years.
