Cookies

1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS

Paragraph 2 of Article 22 of Spain’s Information Society and Electronic Commerce Services Act 34/2002 of 11 July (“LSSICE”), sets out the following:

1. Service providers may use data storage and recovery devices on recipients’ terminal equipment, provided that the recipients have given their consent after having been provided with clear and complete information about their use, in particular, on the purposes of the data being stored, in accordance with Spain’s Data Protection Act 15/1999 of 13 December. Where technically possible and effective, the consent of the recipient to accept the processing of their data may be provided through the use of appropriate settings in the browser or other applications, provided that such consent is expressly sought as part of an express agreement to their settings during installation or update. The foregoing shall not prevent technical storage or access for the sole purpose of conveying information over an electronic communications network or, to the extent strictly necessary, for providing a service related to the information society as expressly requested by the addressee.

As stated in the “Guide to Using Cookies” published by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (“AEPD”) in 2013, the LSSICE applies to any type of file or device that is downloaded to a user’s terminal equipment for the purpose of storing data and which may be updated and retrieved by the entity that installed it. Cookies are devices that are widely used and therefore from now on we will generically refer to these devices as cookies.

Cookies used for any of the following purposes are exempt from having to comply with the requirements of Article 22.2 of the LSSICE:

Where they enable only communication between the user’s equipment and the network.

Where they are strictly for the purposes of providing a service expressly requested by the user.

Personalisation cookies:

these allow users to access the service with certain general characteristics that are predefined according to a range of criteria on their computer or device – such as language, type of browser used, regional configuration from which the service is accessed, and so on.

Analytics cookies:

The information collected through this type of cookie is used for measuring website/application/platform activity and for profiling the users of these sites, applications and platforms. They help introduce improvements based on analysis of the usage data from users of the service.

Advertising cookies:

these allow the most efficient management of any advertising spaces a publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the published content and the frequency with which the ads are shown.

Behavioural advertising cookies:

These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through ongoing observation of their browsing habits, which allows profiles to be developed for the purposes of displaying advertising based on such profiles.
