What are cookies?
The website of Nomada S.L. (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. Additionally, cookies personalize the services offered by the Website, making it easier to provide each user with information of interest 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 personal data to be inferred. The user can configure their browser to notify and reject the installation of cookies sent by the Website without affecting their ability to access the content. However, please note that the quality of the Website’s functionality may decrease.
Registered users, those who register, or those who log in may benefit from more personalized services tailored to their profile by combining cookie-stored data with personal data used at the time of registration. These users expressly authorize the use of this information for the stated purpose, without prejudice to their right to refuse or disable the use of cookies.
Likewise, the Website may be aware of all the services requested by users to facilitate or offer information suited to their tastes and preferences.
What types of cookies exist?
Cookies, based on their permanence, can be divided into:
— Session cookies: These expire when the user closes the browser.
— Persistent cookies: These expire depending on their purpose (for example, to keep the user identified in the services) or when manually deleted.
Additionally, based on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
— Performance cookies: These remember preferences for tools within the services, so users do not have to reconfigure them each time they visit. Examples include:
- Volume settings for video or audio players.
- Video streaming speeds compatible with the user’s browser.
—Geolocation cookies: These are used to determine the country from which a service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to tailor content to the user’s location.
— Registration cookies: These are created when the user registers or subsequently logs in and are used to identify them within the services for the following purposes:
- Keeping the user identified so that if they close a service, browser, or computer and return later, they remain identified, making navigation easier without having to log in again. This functionality can be disabled by clicking “log out,” which removes this cookie and requires the user to log in again.
- Checking if the user is authorized to access certain services, such as participating in a contest.
— Analytical cookies: Each time a user visits a service, an external provider tool generates an analytical cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, which is only created during the visit, will be used in future visits to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives are:
- Allowing the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (identifying browsers and devices, not individuals) to estimate the number of visitors and their trends over time.
- Identifying the most visited content to determine what is most attractive to users.
- Understanding whether the user is a new or returning visitor.
Important: Unless the user registers on a Website service, the cookie is never associated with personally identifiable data. These cookies are only used for statistical purposes to optimize user experience on the site.
— Behavioral advertising cookies: These cookies help expand information on ads displayed to anonymous users of the Website’s services. Among other data, they store the duration or frequency of ad displays, user interaction with ads, and navigation patterns, helping create an advertising interest profile. This allows offering advertising aligned with the user’s interests.
— Third-party advertising cookies: In addition to advertising managed by the Website, it offers advertisers the option of serving ads via third parties (“AdServers”). These third parties can store cookies sent from the Website’s services from users’ browsers and access stored data.
