COOKIE USAGE POLICY
Accessing and navigating the site, or using its services, implies the acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions set forth in our Legal Notice (and therefore the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy). Please read them carefully. We appreciate your visit. We want your experience on the site to be the best it can be, and that’s why we’ve written this Cookie Policy as transparently as possible.
What is a Cookie?
Cookies are files that contain small amounts of information that are downloaded to the user’s device when you visit a website. Their main purpose is to recognize the user each time they access castillodemontsonis.es, which allows us to improve the quality and usability of our website.
Cookies are essential for the operation of the Internet; they cannot harm the user’s equipment/device and, if they are enabled in your browser’s settings, they help us identify and resolve potential malfunctions of castillodemontsonis.es.
Types of Cookies
There are different types of cookies. They all work the same way but have small differences:
- Session Cookies: Session cookies only last for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close the browser. Their primary purpose is to identify the type of device, support the website’s security or its basic functionality. They do not contain personal information that allows us to identify a person.
- Persistent Cookies: They are stored on the device’s hard drive, and our website reads them every time you make a new visit to castillodemontsonis.es. They have a specific expiration date, after which the cookie ceases to function. They allow us to identify your actions and preferences, analyze visits, and help us understand how users arrive at our page and improve our services.
- Functionality Cookies: Allow castillodemontsonis.es to remember user decisions, such as their login or identifier. The information collected by these cookies is anonymized (i.e., it does not contain your name, address, or other personal data).
- Third-Party Cookies: Third-party cookies are cookies installed by a website that is not the one you are currently visiting; for example, those used by social networks (such as Facebook) or external content plugins (like Google Maps). Additionally, some advertising companies use these types of files to track your visits to sites where they advertise.
- Analytics Cookies: These are cookies designed to perform regular maintenance and ensure the best functionality and service for the user by collecting data about your activity.
