What are Cookies?
Cookies are small files that some platforms, such as websites, can install on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or connected TV. Their functions can vary greatly: storing your browsing preferences, collecting statistical information, enabling certain technical functionalities.
The cookies used by the website are associated only with an anonymous user and their computer, and they do not provide the user's personal data by themselves.

You may refuse the processing of data or information by rejecting the use of cookies through your browser's settings. However, you should know that if you do this, you might not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Why are Cookies Important?
Cookies are useful for several reasons. From a technical perspective, they allow websites to function more efficiently and be adapted to your preferences, such as remembering your language or the currency of your country.
They also help website owners improve the services they offer, thanks to the statistical information they collect through cookies.
Lastly, they make the advertising we show you more efficient, which enables us to offer you services for free.
By using cookies, it is possible for the server hosting the website to recognize the user's web browser, making navigation easier. For example, it allows access for users who have previously registered to access exclusive areas, services, promotions, or contests.

How Do We Use Cookies?
Below is more information to better understand the different types of cookies that may be used:

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in the browser's cookie file until the user leaves the website. None of these are stored on the user's hard drive. The information collected through these cookies is used to analyze traffic patterns on the website. Over time, this helps improve the content and usability of the site.

Permanent Cookies: These are stored on the hard drive and the website reads them every time the user visits again. Despite their name, a permanent cookie has a set expiration date. It will stop working after that date. They are generally used to facilitate the different services offered by the website.

Types, Purpose, and Operation of Cookies:

Additionally, based on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:

Performance Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences for tools available in the Services, so you don’t have to configure them again each time you visit. Examples include:

  • Video or sound player volume settings.
  • Video streaming speeds compatible with your browser.
  • Items saved in the "shopping cart" on e-commerce sites.

Geo-location Cookies: These cookies are used to determine your country when you request a service. They are completely anonymous and only help tailor content to your location.

Registration Cookies: These cookies are generated once the user registers or logs in, and are used to identify them on the services for the following purposes:

  • Keep the user logged in so that if they close the service and return later, they remain logged in, simplifying navigation without needing to log in again. This functionality can be removed by pressing the "log out" function, deleting the cookie, and requiring the user to log in again next time.
  • Verify if the user is authorized to access certain services, such as participating in a contest.

Additionally, some services may use connectors with social networks like Facebook or Twitter. When a user registers with social network credentials, they authorize the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees access to services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to services through social networks by updating preferences in the social network itself.

Analytics Cookies: Each time a user visits a service, an external provider tool (such as Omniture, Comscore, etc.) generates an analytical cookie on the user's computer. This cookie, created only on the visit, will be used on future visits to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives include:

  • Enabling the anonymous identification of users browsing the site (identifying browsers and devices, not individuals) and approximating the number of visitors and trends over time.
  • Identifying the most visited and therefore most attractive content for users.
  • Knowing if the user is new or returning.

Advertising Cookies: These cookies expand the information of the ads shown to each anonymous user. Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of viewing ads, interactions with them, and browsing behavior, helping form an advertising interest profile. This enables more relevant ads to be shown to the user.

Third-Party Advertising Cookies: The Amchamspain website does not use this type of cookies.
