Cookie policy 

In accordance with Spanish regulations and pursuant to the Spanish Data Protection Agency directives, we hereby inform you about what a cookie is, which cookies are used at www.camaragipuzkoa.com, the use it makes of said cookies, and how to disable them.

What is a cookie and what information does it store?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your browser when you visit almost any web page. Cookies have been used for the past 20 years, when the first web browsers appeared. A cookie is not a virus, a worm or a Trojan, it is not spam or spyware, and it does not open pop-ups.

The data saved on cookies is technical, referring to personal preferences, content personalisation, usage statistics, links to social media, access to user accounts, etc. Cookies do not store sensitive data about you, such as information about your credit cards or bank details, photographs, ID or personal information, etc.

Their utility lies in enabling the web page to recall your visit the next time you browse that page. The objective of cookies is to adapt web content to meet your profile and needs. Without cookies, the services offered on any page would be considerably diminished.

The web server does not associate you as a person, but rather your web browser. In fact, if you regularly browse with Internet Explorer and you try to browse the same web page with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the web page does not realise that you are the same person, because it is actually associating with the browser, not the person.

On www.camaragipuzkoa.com we use first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are those that are generated by the web page you are visiting, and third-party cookies are generated by external services or providers, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.
