COOKIE INFORMATION

✓ What are cookies and why do we use them on www.legal21.es?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to the user’s device when accessing certain websites in order to store and retrieve information about the browsing activity carried out from that device.

Among other things, cookies allow a website to store and retrieve information about the user’s preferences and browsing habits.

At www.legal21.es, we use cookies to personalise your browsing experience, identify and remember registered users, and make navigation easier.

It is important to note that the use of cookies does not provide www.legal21.es with the user’s personal data. For the purposes of this website, users remain anonymous.

Users may configure their browser to refuse the use of cookies. In such cases, website personalisation will not be available, although users will still be able to access the website’s content without restriction.

More information about cookies and how they work can be found on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie).

✓ What types of cookies does www.legal21.es use?

Depending on how long they remain active, cookies may be classified as session cookies or persistent cookies.

    • Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser.
    • Persistent cookies expire once the purpose for which they were created has been fulfilled (for example, keeping the user logged into the www.legal21.es website and services) or when they are manually deleted.

Furthermore, depending on their purpose, cookies may be classified as follows:

Performance Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences for the tools available within our services, so you do not need to reconfigure them each time you visit the website.

Examples include:

    • Volume settings for video or audio players.
    • Video streaming speeds compatible with your browser.

Geolocation Cookies: These cookies are used to determine the country from which you access a website or service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is used solely to tailor content to your location.

Registration Cookies: Registration cookies are generated once a user registers or logs in and are used to identify the user within the website and its services for the following purposes:

    • To keep users logged in so that, if they close a service, browser or device, they will remain identified the next time they access the website, making navigation more convenient.

This functionality can be disabled by using the “Log out” option, which deletes the cookie so that the next time the user visits the website they will be required to log in again.

    • To verify whether a user is authorised to access certain services.
    • In addition, some services may use third-party sign-in providers such as Facebook, Twitter or Google.

When users register through a social network or third-party authentication service, they authorise that service to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and grants access to the website until it expires.

Users may delete this cookie and revoke access through social networks or third-party authentication systems by updating their preferences on the relevant platform.

Analytics Cookies: Whenever a user visits a website or service, an analytics tool provided by a third party (such as Google Analytics, comScore or similar services) generates an analytics cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, which is created only during the visit, will anonymously identify the visitor on future visits to www.legal21.es.

The main purposes are:

    • To anonymously identify visitors through the cookie (identifying browsers and devices, not individuals) and therefore estimate the number of visitors and analyse trends over time.
    • To anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore the most interesting content for users.
    • To determine whether a visitor is new or returning.

Unless the user chooses to register on www.legal21.es, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data capable of identifying them. These cookies are used solely for statistical purposes to help improve the user experience.

Further information about the privacy policies of these analytics tools is available from Google Analytics.

Advertising Cookies: These cookies make it possible to expand the information associated with advertisements displayed to anonymous users on www.legal21.es.

Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of advertising displays, interactions with advertisements, and users’ browsing patterns or behaviour in order to create advertising interest profiles.

This makes it possible to display advertising that is more relevant to the user’s interests.

Third-party advertising services (Ad Servers – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_server) are used to manage advertising on www.legal21.es. These third parties may store cookies sent from www.legal21.es through users’ browsers and may access the data stored within them.

The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies.

At present, www.legal21.es does not make use of these services.
