What are cookies?

The website of BIO COSMETICS S.L. uses cookies. Cookies are files sent to a browser by a web server to record the user’s activities on a specific website. The primary purpose of cookies is to provide the user with quicker access to the selected services. In addition, cookies help personalize the services offered by the website, making it easier to provide each user with information that may be of interest to them, based on their use of the services.

The website uses cookies to personalize and facilitate user navigation as much as possible. Cookies are only associated with an anonymous user and their device and do not provide references that could be used to deduce personal data. The user may configure their browser to notify and reject the installation of cookies sent by the website, without this affecting their ability to access the website’s content. However, please note that in such cases, the quality of the website’s performance may be reduced.

Registered users, or those who have logged in, may benefit from more personalized services tailored to their profile, thanks to the combination of data stored in cookies and the personal data provided during registration. These users expressly authorize the use of this information for the purposes stated above, without prejudice to their right to reject or disable the use of cookies.

Furthermore, the website may track all services requested by users, allowing it to provide or offer information suited to each user’s tastes and preferences.

Types of cookies

Cookies, depending on their Duration, can be divided into:

“Session Cookies”: These expire when the user closes the browser.

“Persistent Cookies”: These expire either when the purpose for which they were created is fulfilled (for example, to keep the user logged into the Services) or when they are manually deleted.

Additionally, depending on their Purpose, Cookies can be classified as follows:

Performance Cookies: This type of cookie remembers your preferences for tools found within the services, so you don’t have to reconfigure them each time you visit. For example, this category includes:

Volume settings for video or audio players.

Video transmission speeds compatible with your browser.

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

Registration Cookies: Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify them within the services for the following purposes:

To keep the user logged in so that if they close a service, the browser, or the computer, and later return to that service, they remain logged in. This facilitates navigation without requiring repeated login. This functionality can be disabled if the user clicks “log out,” which deletes this cookie, requiring the user to log in again next time they access the service.

To verify whether the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.

Analytical Cookies: Every time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used during future visits to the website’s services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main purposes are:

To allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (identifying browsers and devices, not individuals) and thus obtain an approximate count of visitor numbers and trends over time.

To anonymously identify the most visited and therefore most attractive content to users.

To know whether the user accessing is new or a returning visitor.

Important: Unless the user decides to register for a service on the website, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies are only used for statistical purposes to help optimize the user experience on the website.

Behavioral Advertising Cookies: This type of cookie allows for expanding information about the ads shown to each anonymous user on the website’s services. Among other things, it stores data on the duration or frequency of viewing advertising positions, user interactions with them, or browsing patterns and/or user behavior, as they help to build a profile of advertising interests. In this way, they enable the display of advertising aligned with the user’s interests.

Third-party Advertising Cookies: In addition to the advertising managed directly by the website in its services, the website offers its advertisers the option of serving ads through third parties (“AdServers”). These third parties may store cookies sent from the website’s services via the users’ browsers and may access the data stored in those cookies.
