Cookie policy

AUGUSTA PARTNERS, S.L. provides information on the use of cookies on its website: https://www.augustagroup.es

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that may be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in the provision of many information society services. Among other things, they allow a web page to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their device and, depending on the information obtained, they may be used to recognise the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

First-party cookies: Those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies: Those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain that is not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. Where cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the length of time they remain stored in the client’s browser, which may be:

Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only worth keeping for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of products purchased).

Persistent cookies: The data remain stored on the device and may be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which may range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is a further classification comprising six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained are processed:

Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to navigate through a web page, platform or application and to use the various options or services available on it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in an order, completing the purchase process for an order, applying for registration or participation in an event, using security features while browsing, storing content for the broadcasting of video or sound, or sharing content through social networks.

Personalisation cookies: These allow the user to access the service with certain predefined general features based on a series of criteria on the user’s device, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional settings from which the service is accessed, etc.

Analytics cookies: These allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform and to build browsing profiles of the users of those sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of the service’s users.

Advertising cookies: These allow advertising space to be managed as effectively as possible.

Behavioural advertising cookies: These store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which makes it possible to develop a specific profile in order to display advertising based on it.

External social network cookies: These are used so that visitors can interact with content from various social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for users of those social networks. The terms of use of these cookies and the information collected are governed by the privacy policy of the relevant social platform.
