In compliance with the provisions of Article 22.2 of the Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI) and in accordance with European Directive 2009/136/EC, users are advised that the Abedul website uses cookies for the sole purpose of improving site navigation and collecting statistical data regarding the nature of the visits we receive.

​

1. What are cookies?

The Malaga-special website (hereinafter, "the Website") 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 faster access to selected services. Furthermore, cookies personalize the services offered by the Website, providing each user with information that is or 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 computer and do not provide references that allow the deduction of the user's personal data. Users may configure their browser to notify and reject the installation of cookies sent by the Website without affecting the user's ability to access the contents of said website. However, the operational quality of the website may decrease, and some functions may become unavailable.

  

Likewise, the Website may track all services requested by users to provide or offer information suited to each user's tastes and preferences.

​

2. What types of cookies are there?

Depending on their Duration, cookies can be divided into:

• "Session cookies": These expire when the user closes the browser.

• "Persistent cookies": These expire based on when the purpose for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, to keep the user identified in 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 the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service every time you visit. Examples include:

  • Volume settings for video or audio players.

  • Video transmission speeds compatible with your browser.​

• Geo-location Cookies: These cookies are used to find out which country you are in when a service is requested. 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 opened their session, and are used to identify them in the services with the following objectives:

  • To keep the user identified so that if they close a service, the browser, or the computer and re-enter at another time, they will remain identified, thus facilitating navigation without having to re-identify. This functionality can be removed if the user clicks "log out," deleting this cookie so the next time they enter, the user will have to log in to be identified.

  • To check if 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 computer. This cookie, generated only during the visit, will serve in future visits to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives are:

  • To allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the "cookie" (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate count of the number of visitors and their trend over time.

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

  • To know if the accessing user is new or a repeat visitor.

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

• Behavioral Advertising Cookies: This type of cookie allows for the expansion of information for the advertisements shown to each anonymous user on the Website's services. Among others, it stores the duration or frequency of display of advertising positions, interaction with them, or browsing patterns and/or behaviors of the user as they help form an advertising interest profile. In this way, they allow for advertising tailored to the user's interests.

• Third-party Advertising Cookies: In addition to the advertising managed by the Website, the Website offers its advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties ("AdServers"). In this way, these third parties can store cookies sent from the Website services from the users' browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.​
