"Cookies are small text files sent to the User’s browser from a website server. These files store information regarding browsing activity carried out within the corresponding Website. This technology may be used for various purposes, such as recognizing the User, analyzing their browsing habits, or personalizing services.

Although a cookie may contain a unique identifier, it does not necessarily include personal information such as a name or email address. However, it is considered that a cookie may identify a User, since it collects information that could enable their identification or that is personalized based on the selection of cookies made by the User while browsing.

Cookies are often essential for the functioning of the Internet, as they provide technical solutions that facilitate navigation between different websites. They do not damage the devices on which they are installed and are mainly used to: (i) identify or resolve possible performance issues, and (ii) carry out statistical, advertising, or behavioral analyses, among other purposes.

Eric Vökel may use cookies both when you visit its Website and when you visit other sites where Eric Vökel advertises. The User’s browser stores cookies on the hard drive of their device, and the website may access them during subsequent visits—in other words, cookies have memory.

Other websites may also send cookies to your browser, but these will not allow access to the information stored in the cookies installed by Eric Vökel."

3.2. Types of cookies and classification

"

Below we indicate the types of cookies and types of classification that exist:

3.2.1. According to the entity that manages them

Depending on the entity that manages the device or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, cookies may be classified as follows:

(i) First-party cookies: These are sent to the User’s terminal from a device or domain managed by the editor or owner of the website itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided. They are cookies implemented or installed as part of the Website’s own programming.

(ii) Third-party cookies: These are sent to the User’s terminal from a device or domain not managed by the editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. In other words, when the provider and owner of the website contracts or uses the services of a third party that provides such complementary services.

Third-party cookies also include those that, although served from a device or domain managed by the editor, collect information on behalf of a third party and are also used for that third party’s own purposes.

3.2.2. According to their purpose

Depending on the purpose for which the information collected through cookies is processed, cookies can be classified as follows:

(i) Technical cookies: These allow the User to navigate through a website, platform, or application and to use the different options or services available, including those used by the editor to enable the management and operation of the website and to provide its functions and services (for example: session identification, access to restricted areas, payment management).

(ii) Preference or personalization cookies: These enable information to be remembered so that the User can access the service with certain predefined characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users (for example: language, number of results displayed when the User performs a search).

(iii) Analytics or measurement cookies: These allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected by this type of cookie is used to introduce improvements based on the analysis of usage data made by Users of the service.

(iv) Behavioral advertising cookies: These store information on the behavior of Users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, enabling the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.

3.2.3. According to their retention period

Cookies may also be classified according to the length of time they remain active on the Users’ terminal equipment:

(i) Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a website.

(ii) Persistent cookies: These are cookies in which the data remains stored on the terminal and may be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie."

3.3. Cookies exempt from consent

"The User is hereby informed that, on certain occasions, more technical cookies are used which do not require notification or consent, as they are necessary and essential for the proper functioning of the Website.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for transparency purposes, the User will nevertheless be informed of this fact."

3.4. Specifics about cookies

"In practice, a single cookie may serve multiple functions; therefore, while it may not be necessary to provide notice or obtain consent for one specific use, it is required for other uses or purposes. Accordingly, the User will always be informed of the types of cookies being used through this Cookies Policy, the banner or initial notice, and any widgets or tools that complement this Policy.

In cases where we use multifunctional cookies or cookies with different purposes, we will ensure that such cookies are only used if all purposes they encompass are accepted. In other words, if the User accepts only one of the purposes, the cookies will either not be installed, or the system will ensure that differentiated processing is applied according to the relevant purposes.

For example, for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Thus, cookies exempt from consent will be session cookies, while persistent cookies will require such authorization or consent."
