Cookie Policy

Perlita y Vermiculita, S.L.U hereby informs you about the use of cookies on its website https://www.perlitayvermiculita.com/

What are cookies?
Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your computer through websites. They are tools that play an essential role in the provision of many Information Society services. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their computer and, depending on the information obtained, can 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 which processes the data obtained, two types of cookies can be distinguished:

Own cookies: Those that are sent to the user’s terminal computer from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies: Third-party cookies are those sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

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

There is also a second classification according to the length of time that they remain stored on the customer’s browser, which can be:

Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are often used to store information that is only relevant to the provision of the service requested by the user on one occasion (e.g. a list of products purchased).

Persistent cookies: The data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the controller of the cookie, which can range from between a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:

Technical cookies: These allow the user to browse a web page, platform or application and to use the various options or services that exist therein, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted-access areas, remembering the items that make up an order, enacting the purchase process of an order, requesting registration or participation in an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, or sharing content through social networks.

Customisation cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined by a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the region from which the service is being accessed, etc

Analysis cookies: These allow their controller to track and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms, and to create browser profiles of the users of these websites, applications and platforms, in order to make improvements based on the analysis of service user data.

Advertising cookies: These allow the advertising spaces to be managed in the most efficient way possible.

Behavioural advertising cookies: These store information on the user’s behaviour, obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which provides the basis on which to develop a specific profile through which to display advertising.

Cookies from external social media networks: These are used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social media platforms (facebook, youtube, twitter, linkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for users of these social media networks. The conditions of use of these cookies and the information collected is regulated by the privacy policy of the social media platform in question.
