What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that a server places in a user’s browser to collect standard Internet log information and information about visitor behavior on a website. In other words, they are small text files stored on the computer’s hard drive that are used to identify the user when they reconnect to the website. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and save certain information. Their use is common and widespread on the web, as they allow websites to function more efficiently and enable greater personalization and analysis of user behavior.

What types of cookies are there?

The cookies used on our website are session cookies and third-party cookies, and they allow us to store and access information regarding the language, the type of browser used, and other general user-defined preferences, as well as to track and analyze your activity, in order to make improvements and provide our services in a more efficient and personalized manner.

Cookies can be classified as session cookies or persistent cookies, depending on how long they remain on the device. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser. Persistent cookies expire either when the purpose for which they were created is fulfilled (for example, to keep the user logged in to Austerio Alonso Almenara’s services) or when they are manually deleted.

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

Performance Cookies

This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools available within the services, so you don’t have to reconfigure the service every time you visit. For example, this category includes: Volume settings for video or audio players; video streaming speeds compatible with your browser; and items saved in the “shopping cart” on e-commerce services such as online stores.

Geolocation Cookies

These cookies are used to determine which country you are in when you request a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is used solely to help tailor the content to your location.

Login Cookies

Registration cookies are generated once a user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify the user within the services for the following purposes:

To keep the user logged in so that, if they close a service, their browser, or their computer, and then return to that service at a later time or on another day, they will remain logged in, thereby making it easier for them to browse without having to log in again. This functionality can be disabled if the user clicks the [log out] button, which deletes this cookie; the next time the user accesses the service, they will need to log in to remain logged in.

Verify whether the user is authorized to access certain services, such as to participate in a contest.

In addition, some services may use connectors to social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When a user signs up for a service using social network credentials, they authorize the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and grants them access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the services via social media by updating their preferences on the specific social media platform.

Analytics Cookies

Each time a user visits a service, a tool provided by a third-party vendor generates an analytics cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, which is generated only during that visit, will be used during future visits to Austerio Alonso Almenara’s services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives are:

To enable the anonymous identification of users browsing the site through cookies (which identify browsers and devices, not individuals) and, therefore, to estimate the number of visitors and track trends over time.
Anonymously identify the most-visited content—and thus the content that is most appealing to users—and determine whether the user accessing the site is a new visitor or a returning visitor.

Important: Unless the user chooses to register for a service provided by Austerio Alonso Almenara, the cookie will never be linked to any personally identifiable information. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimize the user experience on the site.

Advertising Cookies

These types of cookies allow us to expand the information about the ads displayed to each anonymous user on Austerio Alonso Almenara’s services. Among other things, they store data on the duration or frequency of ad views, user interaction with the ads, and browsing patterns and/or user behavior, as this information helps build a profile of advertising interests. In this way, they enable us to offer advertising tailored to the user’s interests.

Third-party advertising cookies

In addition to the advertising managed by Austerio Alonso Almenara’s websites as part of their services, Austerio Alonso Almenara’s websites offer their advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties (“ad servers”). As a result, these third parties may store cookies sent from Austerio Alonso Almenara’s services that originate from users’ browsers, as well as access the data stored in those cookies.

The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, Austerio Alonso Almenara’s websites use the DoubleClick (Google) platform to manage these services. For more information, please visit
