COOKIE POLICY
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a text file that a web server can store on your computer’s hard drive in order 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 normally use cookies to obtain statistical information about their pages and to analyse the behaviour of their customers/users.
Cookies used for any of the following purposes are exempt from the obligations set out in article 22.2 of the LSSI:
- To allow only the communication between the user’s equipment and the network.
- To strictly provide a service expressly requested by the user.
Thus, among the exempted cookies would be those whose purpose is:
- “User input” cookies: those stored on the equipment when the user enters information on a website. For example, when filling in a web form.
- Authentication or user identification cookies (session only): their function is to identify a user when they enter their credentials to log in.
- User security cookies: cookies that detect security problems or risks. For example, those that detect erroneous and repeated connection attempts.
- Multimedia player session cookies: they allow multimedia content to be played on the websites the user visits. For example, videos that play automatically when entering a website are authorised by this type of cookie.
- Load-balancing session cookies: they connect the website server and the user’s server so that information can be transmitted between both.
- User interface customisation cookies: cookies that remember users’ preferences while browsing a website. For example, the language, the chosen browser, etc.
- Certain plug-in cookies for exchanging social content: they are used when the user visits social networks through a website. For example, when sharing an article from a website on social networks.
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in the following sections.
2. TYPES OF COOKIES
Cookies can be classified according to the following criteria:
According to who installs the cookie
- Own cookies: those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from equipment or a domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from equipment or a domain managed by a third party, and the information collected from the cookies is managed by a third party other than the owner of the website.
According to their retention period
- Session cookies: those that last for the time the user is browsing the website and are deleted when browsing ends.
- Persistent cookies: they remain stored on the user’s terminal for a longer time, thus facilitating the control of the chosen preferences without having to repeat certain parameters each time the website is visited.
According to their purpose
- Technical cookies: those that are essential and strictly necessary for the proper functioning of a website and the use of the various options and services it offers. For example, those for maintaining the session, those that allow the use of security elements, sharing content with social networks, etc.
- Customisation cookies: they allow the user to choose or customise characteristics of the website such as the language, the regional configuration or the type of browser.
- Analytical cookies: used by websites to create browsing profiles and to know the preferences of users in order to improve the offer of products and services. They allow monitoring the geographical areas of greatest interest to a user, the most widely accepted information on the website, etc.
- Advertising cookies: those that store information on the behaviour of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on it.

4. INFORMATION AND OBTAINING OF CONSENT FOR INSTALLATION
www.sincaos-lab.com has sought to establish adequate mechanisms to obtain the user’s consent in relation to cookies, tracking pixels and web beacons that are not strictly necessary. This includes analysis or measurement tracking devices, which will not be installed without the express acceptance of the user.
When accessing our website, a pop-up appears informing of all the details about cookies and other tracking devices, offering a granular acceptance of them.
Users will not have to give their consent every time they visit the website. We will keep their consent and tracking device preferences for a maximum period of 24 months. Before that period expires, we will ask them to renew their consent in relation to cookies and other tracking devices.
5. HOW CAN I PREVENT THE INSTALLATION OF COOKIES?
The user can reject the installation of all cookies and other tracking devices, according to their preferences, except those they expressly authorise or those of a technical nature that must be installed to guarantee the correct functioning of the website, indicating the ones they wish to install or reject in the pop-up or cookie acceptance window that appears when entering the home page. However, there are other ways to prevent cookies or other tracking devices from being installed on the equipment, as indicated below.
The user can configure their browser to accept, or not, the cookies it receives, or for the browser to warn when a server wants to save a cookie. If some technical cookies are disabled, the correct functioning of some of the website’s utilities is not guaranteed.
The user may exclude the “analytical and advertising” cookies of Google Analytics from being stored on their terminal through the exclusion systems provided by Google Analytics.
