COOKIES POLICY

1. What are cookies?

The mar-kiel.com website uses cookies. Cookies are files sent to a browser by a web server to record the User’s activities on a particular website. The primary purpose of Cookies is to provide the user with faster access to the selected services. In addition, Cookies personalise the services offered by the Website, providing and offering each user information that is of interest to them or that may be of interest to them, based on their use of the Services.

The website uses cookies to personalise and facilitate the user’s browsing experience as much as possible. Cookies are only associated with an anonymous user and their computer and do not provide references that allow the user’s personal data to be deduced. The user may configure their browser to notify and reject the installation of cookies sent by the website, without this affecting the user’s ability to access the contents of the website. However, we would like to point out that, in any case, the performance of the website may decrease.

Registered users, who register or are logged in, will be able to benefit from more personalised and targeted services, thanks to the combination of data stored in cookies with the personal data used at the time of registration. These users expressly authorise the use of this information for the aforementioned purpose, without prejudice to their right to reject or disable the use of cookies.

Likewise, the Web will be able to know all the services requested by users, so that they can provide or offer information appropriate to the tastes and preferences of each user.

2. What types of cookies are there?

Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into:

  • “Session cookies: Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser.
  • “Persistent cookies”: the latter expire depending on when the purpose for which they are used is fulfilled (for example, to keep the user identified in the Services) or when they are manually deleted.
    Additionally, depending on their Purpose, Cookies can be classified as follows:

    • Performance Cookies: This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. By way of example, this typology includes:
      • Volume settings of video or sound players.
      • Video bitrates that are compatible with your browser.
    • Geo-location Cookies: These Cookies are used to find out which country you are in when you request a service. This Cookie is completely anonymous, and is only used to help target content to your location.
    • Registration Cookies: Registration Cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify you in the services for the following purposes:
      • To keep the user identified so that, if he/she closes a service, the browser or the computer and at another time or on another day re-enters the service, he/she will continue to be identified, thus facilitating navigation without having to identify him/herself again. This functionality can be deleted if the user clicks on the “log out” functionality, so that this Cookie is deleted and the next time the user enters the service he/she will have to log in to be identified.
      • Check whether the user is authorised to access certain services, e.g. to participate in a competition.
    • Analytical Cookies: Each time a User visits a service, an analytical Cookie is generated on the User’s computer by a tool of an external provider. This Cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used in future visits to the Web Services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives to be pursued are:
      • Allow anonymous identification of browsing users through the “Cookie” (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
      • Identify anonymously the most visited and therefore most attractive content for users.
      • To know if the user accessing the site is new or a repeat visitor.
      • Important: Unless the user decides to register for a Web service, the “Cookie” will never be associated with any personal data that can identify him/her. These Cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimise the User’s experience on the site.
    • Behavioural advertising Cookies: This type of “Cookies” allows to extend the information of the advertisements shown to each anonymous user in the Web Services. Among others, the duration or frequency of viewing of advertising positions, the interaction with them, or the user’s browsing and/or sharing patterns are stored as they help to form an advertising interest profile. In this way, they make it possible to offer advertising that is tailored to the user’s interests.
    • Third-party advertising cookies: In addition to the advertising managed by the Website in its Services, the Website offers its advertisers the option of serving ads through third parties (“AdServers”). In this way, these third parties can store Cookies sent by the Web Services from the Users’ browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.
