WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small data files that are downloaded to the user's device when visiting a website. These files allow information to be stored about navigation, preferences and interaction with the website, without affecting the operation of the device. In addition, cookies contain anonymous data that does not pose a risk to the device. They are used, for example, to remember the selected language, login details or personalisation of the website or App.
Although historically they were only associated with websites, cookies are currently also used in mobile applications and other digital devices (such as smartphones and tablets).
Cookies can also be used to collect anonymous information about user behaviour, such as origin (website or App) or interaction with advertising banners.
Information society services are provided through platforms, applications or websites that the user accesses from their device, so it is essential to inform and manage their use appropriately.
1. WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?
At FLAMENTEX we use our own and third-party cookies to:
- Analyze the use of the website and optimize its performance.
- Personalize the user experience, remembering their preferences (for example, language, design elements or content).
- Show advertising related to the user's interests, based on a profile created from their browsing habits.
- Guarantee access to secure areas and the correct functioning of certain services (such as session management or the shopping cart).
It is important to note that some cookies, such as technical cookies, are necessary for the operation of the site and may be exempt from the requirement of prior consent, while others (analytical, advertising or personalization) require the explicit acceptance of the user.
2. WHAT DO WE USE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES FOR?
According to their purpose, cookies are grouped into the following categories:
- Technical cookies: They allow navigation through the website, the use of services and options (such as session maintenance, security management or validation of options) and the correct functioning of the website.
- Preference or personalization cookies: They remember information that allows the user's experience to be adapted, such as the language, the number of search results or the design of the site based on the browser or region.
- Analysis or measurement cookies (analytics): They collect data on the behavior and use of the site to measure activity, detect areas for improvement and optimize the user experience. Some examples are Google Analytics cookies.
- Advertising cookies: These allow us to analyse browsing habits in order to display advertising in line with the user's profile, managing advertising spaces based on specific criteria. These cookies may be used by third parties, which means that the information is shared with advertising providers.
In addition, cookies can be classified according to their duration:
- Session cookies: These are stored temporarily while the user browses the site and are deleted when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies: These allow information to be kept for a defined period (from minutes to several years). It is advisable to adjust this period to the minimum necessary to reduce privacy risks.
The legal obligations imposed by the regulations include transparency and obtaining explicit consent for the use of non-essential cookies.
3. ACCESS, MANAGEMENT AND REVOCATION OF CONSENT
It is essential that information on the use of cookies and the possibility of modifying or revoking consent is always available and accessible to the user. FLAMENTEX provides:
- A cookie management system (CMP) that allows you to accept, reject or configure the use of cookies, blocking those that are not strictly necessary until the user gives their consent.
- Direct links to the cookie settings in the main browsers, so that the user can delete or prevent the installation of cookies at any time:
By accepting using a button or box ("I accept"), the user gives his/her explicit consent to the use of cookies, except for those that are strictly necessary for the provision of the service. If the "Reject" option is selected, non-essential cookies will be disabled.
4. INFORMATION ABOUT THIRD PARTY COOKIES
Some cookies installed on this website are provided by third parties (for example, Google, Pinterest or Facebook). In these cases, it is recommended to consult the respective privacy policies to find out how the data is used and whether any international transfer of the same is made.
