Cookies Policy
General
Fundacion Prasad Europe informs users through this notice that it may use cookies when users browse the different screens and pages of the website.
By using our website, you expressly accept and authorise the use of cookies, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a very small text file that a web server can store on a device’s hard drive to keep some type of information about the user. The cookie uniquely identifies the device and can only be read by the website that sent it.
A cookie is not an executable file or program, and therefore cannot spread or contain viruses or other malicious software, nor can it exceed 4,000 characters.
What are cookies used for?
The sole purpose of using cookies is to remember user preferences (language, country, login, browser characteristics, usage information of our website, etc.).
By remembering your preferences, we won’t have to ask, for example, for your country every time you visit our website. We will know the features of the device you are using, so we can provide a better browsing experience.
Cookies can help our website distinguish the user’s browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. This allows us to personalise home pages, identify which parts of the site have been visited, or keep track of selections in a “shopping cart,” among other things.
Fundacion Prasad Europe may use cookies to recognise users who have registered in order to offer a better and more personalised service. They may also be used to obtain information about the date and time of the user’s last visit, measure traffic parameters on the site, and estimate the number of visits so that Fundacion Prasad Europe can better tailor services and promotions.
Websites generally use cookies to collect statistical information about their pages. Please note that we collect data about your movements and usage on our website as statistical data, not personal data.
Types of Cookies
Cookies can be classified based on the entity that manages them, their duration, or their purpose. Sometimes a cookie may fall into more than one category.
Based on Ownership
- First-party cookies: Sent to the user’s device from a domain managed by Fundacion Prasad Europe.
- Third-party cookies: Sent to the user’s device from a domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes data obtained through the cookies.
Based on Duration
- Session cookies: Collect data while the user is browsing the website.
- Persistent cookies: Store data in the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s owner, which may range from a few minutes to several years.
Based on Purpose
- Technical cookies: Used internally and necessary for the website’s operation.
- Analytical cookies: Allow the collection of statistical information about user activity. This data is collected anonymously and helps improve navigation and user service.
- Customisation cookies: Allow users to access services with predefined general features based on user device criteria, such as language, browser type, regional settings, etc.
- Advertising cookies: Allow the most efficient management of advertising spaces included by the editor on a website, app, or platform, based on content or ad frequency.
- Behavioural advertising cookies: These are cookies that allow the most efficient management of advertising spaces that, where applicable, the publisher has included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information about users’ behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on that profile
