1. Use of Cookies and Web Bugs by cobiosa.com
A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. It helps the website to remember information about your visit, like your preferred language and other settings. That can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. COBIOSA uses cookies and other similar mechanisms for storing and recovering data on terminal equipment. Cookies are sent to a browser through a web server to record user activities on the web cobiosa.com. The first application of cookies is to provide the user with faster access to certain services. In addition, cookies personalize these services, facilitate and request each user information that is of interest or that may be of interest, in response to the use made by the Services.
Usually cookies are only associated with a code (ID) that identifies the device and the browser used in each visit, so they do not necessarily provide references that allow other personal data of the user to be deduced.
The user could set up their browser to notify and reject the installation of cookies sent by cobiosa.com, without damaging the user's ability to access the contents. However, we note that, in such a case, the performance of the services could decrease.
However, users who register, or who log in and browse authenticated by cobiosa.com, may benefit from more personalized and profile-oriented services, thanks to the combination of data stored in cookies with personal data used at the time of registration. These users expressly authorize the use of this information for the indicated purpose, without prejudice to their right to refuse or disable the use of cookies. All information will be treated in accordance with what is indicated in the privacy policy or clause that the user has accepted when registering, and in accordance with what is indicated in this Cookies Policy.
2. Type, purpose and operation of Cookies
Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. The first expire when the user closes the browser. The second ones expire if the objective for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified in the services of cobiosa.com) or when they are manually deleted.
Additionally, depending on their objective, Cookies can be classified as follows
PERFORMANCE COOKIES: We do not use this type of cookies.
GEO-LOCATION COOKIES: We do not use this type of cookies.
REGISTRATION COOKIES: We do not use this type of cookies.
ANALYTICAL COOKIES: Each time a user visits a cobiosa.com service, the website generates an analytical cookie on the user's computer. This cookie that is only generated during the visit, will be used in future visits to cobiosa.com to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
-
Allow anonymous identification of navigating 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.
-
Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore more attractive to users.
- To know if the user who is accessing is new or repeats visit.
Important: unless the user decides to register with cobiosa.com, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that can identify him directly. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help to optimize and improve the user experience on the site.
