Cookie Policy

  1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a text file that a web server can store on your computer’s hard drive to store some type of information about you as a user. Cookies are used for various purposes, such as storing data for future visits, recognising the user and avoiding having to ask for authentication again, knowing which pages you visit, or saving your preferences in customisable areas. Websites generally use cookies to obtain statistical information about their pages and analyse the behaviour of their customers/users.

The following cookies are exempt from the obligations set out in article 22.2 of the LSSI (Spanish Information Society Services Act):

  • Cookies that only allow communication between the user’s device and the network.

  • Cookies strictly necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user.

These include cookies for: “user input” (stored when the user enters information on a website, e.g. filling in a web form); user authentication or identification (session only); user security (detecting erroneous and repeated connection attempts); media player session (allowing multimedia content to play); session load balancing (connecting the website server and the user’s server so information can be transmitted); user interface customisation (remembering preferences such as language or browser); and certain plug-in cookies for sharing social content.

  1. TYPES OF COOKIES

Cookies can be classified according to the following criteria:

According to who installs them:

First-party cookies: sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies: sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain managed by us or by a third party, but the information collected is managed by a third party other than the website owner.

According to their retention period:

Session cookies: last for as long as the user is browsing the website and are deleted when browsing ends.

Persistent cookies: remain stored on the user’s device for a longer time, making it easier to control chosen preferences without having to repeat certain parameters on each visit.

According to their purpose:

Technical cookies: essential and strictly necessary for the proper functioning of a website and the use of its various options and services (e.g. session maintenance, security elements, sharing content with social networks).

Personalisation cookies: allow the user to choose or personalise website features such as language, regional settings or browser type.

Analytics cookies: used by websites to build browsing profiles and learn user preferences in order to improve the offer of products and services.

Advertising cookies: store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing a specific profile to be developed to show advertising based on it.

Like most websites, this website includes functionality provided by third parties. As a live website, new designs or third-party services may be added, which may occasionally modify the cookie configuration and cause cookies not detailed in this policy to appear.

  1. INFORMATION AND OBTAINING CONSENT FOR INSTALLATION

www.sincaos-lab.com has implemented appropriate mechanisms to obtain user consent in relation to cookies, tracking pixels and web beacons that are not strictly necessary. This includes analytics or measurement tracking devices, which will not be installed unless expressly accepted by the user.

When accessing our website, a pop-up appears informing of all details about cookies and other tracking devices, offering granular acceptance. Users will not have to give their consent every time they visit the website. We will retain their consent and tracking preferences for a maximum period of 24 months, after which we will request renewal.

  1. HOW CAN I PREVENT COOKIES FROM BEING INSTALLED?

The user may reject the installation of all cookies and other tracking devices according to their preferences, except those expressly authorised or those of a technical nature that must be installed to ensure the correct functioning of the website, by indicating in the cookie acceptance pop-up which ones they wish to install or reject.

The user can configure their browser to accept or not accept the cookies received, or to warn them when a server wants to store a cookie. If some technical cookies are disabled, the correct functioning of some of the website utilities is not guaranteed.

The user may exclude the storage of Google Analytics “analytics and advertising” cookies through the opt-out systems provided by Google Analytics.

Examples of how to disable cookies:

In any case, the user can allow or block cookies, as well as delete their browsing data (including cookies) from the browser they use. If you accept third-party cookies, you must delete them from the browser options.

  1. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

If you choose to leave our website through links to other websites not belonging to our entity, we shall not be responsible for the privacy policies of those websites or for the cookies they may store on the user’s computer.

  1. HOW DO WE COLLECT AND USE IP ADDRESSES?

The website’s servers may automatically detect the IP address and domain name used by users. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to a computer when it connects to the Internet. This information allows subsequent processing of the data to know whether consent has been given for the installation of cookies, and to make purely statistical measurements (number of visits, order of visits, access point, etc.).

  1. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER

The cookies and other tracking devices installed on our web domain are installed on our server, so the data collected in them is not subject to international data transfers. You can find out about any transfers that third parties identified in this Cookie Policy may make in their respective policies (see: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=es).

  1. UPDATING OUR COOKIE POLICY

This policy is reviewed periodically to ensure its validity, and may therefore be modified. We recommend that you visit this page regularly, where we will inform you of any updates.
