Cookies policy of Asociación del Barrio de la Estación – www.lacatadelbarriodelaestacion.com.

The domain www.lacatadelbarriodelaestacion.com uses automatic collection procedures (Cookies) to collect personal information such as browser type or operating system, referring page, path, ISP (Internet Service Provider) domain, etc. in order to improve the services provided. Cookies help us to tailor this website to your personal needs.

A “Cookie” is a small file that is stored on the user’s computer and allows us to recognise the user. The set of “cookies” helps us to improve the quality of our website, thus allowing us to personalise to a certain extent the browsing experience of each user on our website. Cookies are currently essential to the functioning of the Internet, providing countless advantages in the provision of interactive services, facilitating the navigation and usability of our website.

Please note that cookies cannot damage your computer and that, in return, the fact that they are enabled helps us to identify and resolve errors and improve the navigability of our site.

 

Cookies tipology:

For further information for the user on the type and use of cookies, we would like to inform you that:

From the point of view of the ‘lifetime’ of the cookie (time that the cookie remains active on our computer) we can differentiate cookies between:

  • Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the website, so none of them remain registered on the user’s hard drive. The information obtained through these cookies is used to analyse web traffic patterns. In the long run, this allows us to provide a better experience to improve the content and facilitate its use.
  • Persistent cookies: these are stored on your hard drive and are read by our website each time you make a return visit. A persistent cookie has a set expiry date. The cookie will stop working after that date. We generally use them to facilitate the user’s experience by remembering their browsing habits or, where appropriate, to facilitate the purchase and/or registration services.

From the point of view of the purpose of each cookie, we can differentiate between:

  • Technical Cookies: these are those that allow the user to browse through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist on it, including those that the editor uses to allow the management and operation of the website and to enable its functions and services.

Technical cookies, provided that they correspond to one of the following profiles, shall be exempt from compliance with the obligations established in article 22.2 of the LSSI* (i.e. obtaining consent for their installation and use by means of the existence of a warning banner, cookies policy):

  • User login” cookies
    User authentication or identification cookies (session cookies only).
    User security cookies
    Media player session cookies
    Session cookies for load balancing
    User interface customisation cookies
    Social content sharing plug-in cookies

* According to the EU Expert Working Group, in Article 29 of its Opinion 4/2012.

  • Preference or personalisation cookies: these are cookies that enable information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to be shown when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.

If it is the user himself who chooses these characteristics (for example, if he selects the language of a website by clicking on the icon of the flag of the corresponding country), the cookies will be exempt from the obligations of article 22.2 of the LSSI as they are considered a service expressly requested by the user, and this is provided that the cookies obey exclusively to the selected purpose.

  • Analysis or measurement cookies: these are cookies that allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of the users of the service.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: these are cookies that store information on the behaviour of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on this.

Finally, from the point of view of the entity that manages the cookies, we can differentiate between:

  • First-party cookies: these are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: these are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

Asociación del Barrio de la Estación stores all information collected through Cookies in a non-personalised format (IP address). This type of information obtained through cookies will not be disclosed outside Asociación del Barrio de la Estación, except in those cases indicated in the section ‘List and description of cookies’, nor used for unsolicited communications.
