In compliance with Law 34/2002 of July 11, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSICE), in relation to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016 (hereinafter, GDPR), and Organic Law 3/2018 of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights (hereinafter, LOPD-GDD), we inform you that www.jannu-ferides.org uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure certain functionalities and improve the quality of the website.
What are they and why do we use them?
This website, like most websites on the Internet, uses cookies to enhance the user experience. Below you will find information on what cookies are, the types of cookies used on this site, how you can disable cookies in your browser, and how to specifically disable the installation of third-party cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that certain platforms, such as websites, can install on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or smart TV. Their functions can vary widely: storing your browsing preferences, collecting statistical information, enabling certain technical functionalities, etc. Sometimes cookies are used to store basic information about the browsing habits of the user or their device, to the extent, in some cases, of being able to recognize them.
Why are they important?
Cookies are useful for various purposes. From a technical perspective, they allow websites to operate more smoothly and adapt to your preferences, such as storing your language or country’s currency. Additionally, they help website owners improve the services they offer through the statistical information collected via cookies.
Types, Purpose, and Functioning of Cookies
Cookies, depending on their duration, can be divided into session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser. Persistent cookies expire either when the purpose for which they were set is fulfilled (for example, keeping the user logged in on the pages of www.jannu-ferides.org) or when they are manually deleted.
Additionally, based on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
Performance Cookies
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for tools found on the pages, so you do not have to reconfigure them each time you visit. Examples of this type include:
- Volume settings for video or audio players.
- Video streaming speeds compatible with your browser.
Geolocation Cookies
These cookies are used to determine the country you are in when browsing the website. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor content to your location.
Login/Registration Cookies
Login cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify the user on the pages for the following purposes:
- Keep the user logged in so that if they close a page, browser, or computer and later return to this page on another day, they remain logged in, facilitating navigation without having to log in again. This functionality can be disabled if the user clicks the “log out” button, which deletes this cookie, requiring the user to log in again on the next visit to be identified.
- Verify if the user is authorized to access certain pages, for example, to participate in a contest.
- Additionally, some pages may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or Twitter. When a user registers on a page using social network credentials, the social network is authorized to store a persistent cookie that remembers the user’s identity and grants access to the pages until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access through social networks by updating their preferences on the respective social network.
Analytical Cookies
Each time a user visits a page, a tool from an external provider (in our case, Google Analytics) generates an analytical cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, generated only during the visit, will serve in future visits to the pages of www.jannu-ferides.org to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives are:
- Allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people), thereby providing an approximate count of visitors and their trends over time.
- Identify anonymously the most visited content and therefore the most attractive to users.
- Determine whether the user accessing the website is new or returning.
Important: Unless the user chooses to register on the www.jannu-ferides.org website, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them.
Other Third-Party Cookies
On some of our pages, third-party cookies may be installed to manage and improve the services they offer. An example of this use is links to social networks that allow sharing our content.
How Can I Configure My Preferences?
