2023. COOKIE POLICY MONTSANT

This Cookie Policy applies to the entire website, mont-sant.com, hereinafter referred to as the "SITE," as well as the Services that may be offered from it.

Our goal is for you to understand what cookies are and what we do with them.

Legal framework

  • Directive 2009/136/EC of November 25, 2009, which aims to guarantee and strengthen the protection of users' personal data.
  • Royal Decree-Law 13/2012 of March 30, which regulates the use of cookies in relation to the provision of electronic communication services.

What are cookies and how are they used?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer, tablet, smartphone, or any other device when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user's or their device's browsing habits, and depending on the information they contain and how you use your device, they can be used to recognize the user. In no case can cookies harm your device.

In our case, having them enabled helps us identify and resolve possible errors.

Identification of cookies

Next, a general classification of cookies is made based on a series of categories. However, it is necessary to bear in mind that the same cookie can be included in more than one category:

  • Types of cookies according to the entity that manages them. Depending on who manages the equipment or domain from which cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, we can distinguish:

    • First-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the requested service is provided.
    • Third-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

    In the event that cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as first-party cookies.

  • Types of cookies according to the length of time they remain activated. Depending on the length of time they remain activated on the user's terminal equipment, we can distinguish:

    • Session cookies: These are a type of cookies designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only relevant to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).
    • Persistent cookies: These are a type of cookies in which the data is still stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie's controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
  • Types of cookies according to their purpose. According to the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, we can distinguish between:

    • Technical cookies: These are cookies that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the items that make up an order, carrying out the purchasing process of an order, making a registration or participation request for an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or audio broadcasting, or sharing content through social networks.
    • Personalization cookies: These are cookies that allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria on the user's terminal. For example, these criteria could be the language, the type of browser through which the user accesses the service, the regional configuration from which the user accesses the service, etc.
    • Analysis cookies: These are cookies that allow the party responsible for them to track and analyze the behavior of users on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of the websites, application, or platform and to create navigation profiles of the users of said sites, applications, and platforms in order to make improvements based on the analysis of the usage data by users of the service.
    • Advertising cookies: These are cookies that allow the most effective management of the advertising spaces that, if applicable, the editor has included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information about the behavior of users obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
    • Behavioral advertising cookies: These are cookies that allow the most effective management of the advertising spaces that, if applicable, the editor has included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information about the behavior of users obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.

    The cookies used on our WEBSITE are both first-party and third-party cookies, and they allow us to store and access information regarding the user's language, the type of browser used, and other general predefined characteristics by the user. They also allow us to track and analyze the user's activity in order to introduce improvements and provide our services in a more efficient and personalized manner. Montsant does not use advertising or behavioral advertising cookies.
