Types, purpose and operation of cookies:
Cookies can be divided into session cookies and persistent cookies, depending on how long they remain on your computer.
The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire when the purpose for which they are used is fulfilled or when they are manually deleted.
Additionally, depending on your purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
PERFORMANCE COOKIES:
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit.
REGISTRATION COOKIES:
Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify you in the services for the following purposes:
Keep the user identified so that, if you close a service, the browser or the computer and at another time or another day re-enter that service, you will continue to be identified, thus facilitating your browsing without having to identify yourself again. This functionality can be interrupted if the user clicks on the "close session" function, so that this cookie is deleted and the next time the user enters the service they will have to log in to be identified.
Check whether the user is authorised to access certain services, e.g. to participate in a competition. Additionally, some services may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers for a service with credentials from a social network, he authorises the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers his identity and grants him access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the services via social networks by updating their preferences on the specific social network.
COOKIES FOR TRACKING USER BEHAVIOUR FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES:
These cookies use user data for promotional purposes based on their online browsing behaviour, as well as the rest of the interactions that the user carries out with DONTALIA.
ANALYTICAL COOKIES:
Each time a user visits a service, a tool from an external supplier generates an analytical cookie in the user's computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used in future visits to the DONTALIA services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
Allow anonymous identification of browsing users through the "cookie" (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
Identify anonymously the most visited and therefore most attractive content for users.
Know whether the user accessing the site is new or a repeat visitor.
Important: Unless the user decides to register in a DONTALIA service, the "cookie" will never be associated with any data of a personal nature that could identify him/her. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help to optimise the user experience on the DONTALIA websites.
The applications used to obtain and analyse browsing information are:
Google Analytics:www.google.com/analytics and https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
Hotjar:It is a tool that creates heat maps to analyse user behaviour on our website. It also offers feedback forms and campaigns.
Facebook: Used by Facebook to provide a range of advertising products such as real-time bidding for third-party
Google TagManager:Third-party cookies are implemented via the so-called "Google Tag Manager". Google Tag Manager is also a Google product that allows us to manage tags on web pages via an interface. Tag Manager is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool activates other tags that may collect data themselves. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.
