Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small  These are data files received on your device from the website you visit. They are used to record certain browsing interactions on the site, storing data that can be updated and retrieved. These files are stored on your device and contain anonymous data that is not harmful to your computer. They are used to remember user preferences, such as the selected language, login information, or website or app customizations.

Cookies or storage devices have traditionally been associated with web pages. However, they are now used on websites as well as other types of platforms and applications (for example, apps for smartphones and tablets).

Cookies can also be used to record anonymous information about how a visitor uses a site. For example, which website/app they came from, or whether they used an advertising banner to get there.

Information society services can be provided by the publisher through a platform, computer application or a website/app that the user accesses from their terminal equipment.

1. Why do we use cookies?

We use our own and third-party cookies to analyze website usage and display advertising tailored to user preferences based on a profile created from the user's browsing habits.

BACALALO, SL uses technical and analytical cookies on our website to enable you to access secure areas, personalized options, and more. Additionally, BACALALO, SL uses cookies that collect data related to website usage analysis. These are used to improve user service by measuring website usage and performance, allowing us to optimize and personalize the site.

• Google Analytics Cookie : Google Analytics is a free service offered by Google Inc. that collects information about the web pages visited, the time of visit, the web browser used, etc. This information is then sent to Google Inc.'s servers.

2. What use do we make of the different types of cookies?

According to their purpose:

• Technical cookies: These are cookies that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use its different options or services. For example, those used for session maintenance, response time management, performance or option validation, security features, and content sharing.

• Preference or personalization cookies: These allow us to remember information so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, language, the number of results to show when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc. 

• Analytics cookies: These cookies allow the party responsible for them to track and analyze the behavior of users of the websites or apps to which they are linked, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure the activity of the websites, applications, or platforms in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of user data.

• Advertising cookies: These cookies, processed by the app administrator or by third parties, allow us to analyze your internet browsing habits so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile. Advertising cookies allow the management of advertising spaces based on specific criteria.

These are the ones that store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it. 

Types of cookies according to the length of time they will remain active:

• Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website/app. They are typically used to store information that is only needed to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.

• Persistent cookies: These are cookies where the data remains stored on the user's device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie provider, ranging from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it is important to specifically assess whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their lifespan, taking into account their intended purpose.

The legal obligations imposed by the regulations are two: the obligation of transparency and the obligation to obtain the explicit consent of the website user.

Depending on the nature of your business activity, the business model you develop and the scope of your responsibility, it is recommended that you carry out a review of the cookies you use, either internally or with the advice of specialized entities.

This review will aim to identify the cookies being used, analyzing whether they are first-party or third-party cookies, session or persistent cookies, and specifying their function in order to determine whether or not they fall within the scope of Article 22.2. Given the potential changes that may occur in the management and use of cookies, it is advisable to conduct this review periodically to update the available information on these cookies. In any case, it is important to remember that the solutions implemented to comply with the obligations of Article 22.2 of the LSSI (Spanish Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce) must be technologically neutral and, therefore, recognized by most browsers.
