Cookie Policy
Welcome to the COOKIE POLICY of the website of the entity CONSULTING CLOVARTIZ, S.L., provided with NIF B35782143, where we will explain in clear and simple language all the necessary questions so that you can have control over them based on your personal decisions.
What are cookies and why do we use them?
A cookie is a small piece of information that is stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet each time you visit our website.
In principle, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, trojans, worms, etc., that can harm your device, but it does have some impact on your right to the protection of your personal data, as it collects certain information concerning you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
That is why, based on the provisions of applicable regulations (LSSI and current regulations on personal data protection), the activation of certain types of cookies will require your prior authorization.
Before that, we will give you some additional information that will help you make better decisions regarding this:
1. Cookies can be of several types depending on their purpose:
- Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function, do not require your authorization, and are the only ones that are activated by default.
- The rest of the cookies serve to improve our website, to personalize it based on your preferences, or to show you advertising tailored to your searches, tastes, and personal interests. You can accept all these cookies by clicking the ACCEPT button or configure them or reject their use by clicking on the COOKIES CONFIGURATION section.
- Some cookies are ours (we will call them first-party cookies) and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will call them third-party cookies: an example could be the cookies from external providers such as Google). In this sense, it is important for you to know that some of these external providers may be located outside of Spain.
Globally, not all countries have the same level of data protection, with some countries being safer than others (for example, the European Union is a safe environment for your data). Our policy is to rely on trusted providers who, regardless of whether they are located in the European Union or not, have adopted the appropriate guarantees for the protection of your personal information.
However, in the section called What types of cookies are currently used on our website?, you can consult the different privacy and data protection policies of each of the mentioned external providers, in order to make an informed decision about whether to activate or not the third-party cookies used by our website.
2. Finally, we would like to inform you that, depending on the duration of their activation, cookies can be of two types:
- Session Cookies: they expire automatically when you end your session on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. They are usually used to retain the necessary information while you are being provided with a service on a single occasion.
- Persistent Cookies: they remain stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet for a certain period, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
What types of cookies can we use on our website?
- Technical Cookies: Technical cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function and for you to navigate it. This type of cookie is the one that, for example, allows us to identify you, grant you access to certain restricted parts of the website if necessary, or remember different options or services already selected by you, such as your privacy preferences. Therefore, they are activated by default, and your authorization is not necessary in this regard. Through your browser settings, you can block or alert the presence of this type of cookie, although this blocking will affect the proper functioning of the different functionalities of our website.
- Analytics Cookies: Analytics cookies allow us to study the navigation of users on our website in general (for example, which sections of the page are the most visited, which services are used the most, and whether they work correctly, etc.). Based on the statistical information about navigation on our website, we can improve both the functioning of the page itself and the various services it offers. Therefore, these cookies do not have an advertising purpose; they only serve to make our website work better, adapting to our users in general. By activating them, you will contribute to this continuous improvement.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by marking the corresponding box, being deactivated by default.
- Functionality and Personalization Cookies: Functionality cookies allow us to remember your preferences, to personalize certain features and general options of our website for you each time you access it (for example, the language in which the information is presented to you, the sections marked as favorites, your type of browser, etc.). Therefore, this type of cookie does not have an advertising purpose; rather, by activating them, you will improve the functionality of the website (for example, adapting to your type of browser) and the personalization of the same based on your preferences (for example, presenting the information in the language you have chosen on previous occasions), which will contribute to the ease, usability, and comfort of our page during your navigation. You can activate or deactivate these cookies by marking the corresponding box, being deactivated by default.
- Advertising Cookies: Advertising cookies allow us to manage the advertising spaces included on our website based on criteria such as the content displayed or the frequency with which ads are shown. Thus, for example, if you have been shown the same ad several times on our website, and you have not shown personal interest by clicking on it, it will not appear again. In summary, by activating this type of cookie, the advertising displayed on our website will be more useful and diverse, and less repetitive. You can activate or deactivate these cookies by marking the corresponding box, being deactivated by default.
- Behavioral Advertising Cookies: Behavioral advertising cookies allow us to obtain information based on observing your browsing habits and behaviors on the web, in order to show you advertising content that better matches your tastes and personal interests. To put it very simply, let’s give you a fictitious example: if your latest searches on the web were related to suspense literature, we would show you advertising about suspense books. Therefore, by activating this type of cookie, the advertising we show you on our website will not be generic but will be oriented towards your searches, tastes, and interests, thus adjusting exclusively to you.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by marking the corresponding box, being deactivated by default.
