COOKIE POLICY
Basic information about Cookies
- What the user should know about Cookies
Cookies are small files that store information on the devices of users who visit our website.
Cookies are associated with the browser of a specific computer or device. Thanks to them, BENIU can recognize the user’s browser; they are also used to determine the user’s browsing preferences, which can then be used to assess user preferences and improve our service offerings.
- Acceptance of cookies on BENIU:
Law 34/2002, of July 11, on Information Society and Electronic Commerce (LSSI) in relation to cookies requires that our users be informed prior to their browsing experience about the use, type, and purpose of cookies. This is why we have implemented an informational notice that appears once the user accesses our website, informing them in advance and giving the user the option to choose which cookies they wish to allow and accept explicitly, thereby complying with the criteria set by the European Data Protection Committee and the AEPD Guide on the use of cookies.
Detailed information about Cookies
Technical or Functional Cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the various options or services available, including those used by the publisher to manage and operate the website and enable its functions and services, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a cart, completing a purchase process, managing payment, preventing fraud related to the security of the service, registering for events, counting visits for billing purposes related to software licenses, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or audio playback, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of text or images), or sharing content on social networks.
Also belonging to this category are cookies that allow the most efficient management of advertising spaces that, as part of the service design or layout, the publisher has included in a website, application, or platform based on criteria like edited content, without collecting user information for other purposes such as personalizing that advertising or other content.
*Technical cookies are exempt from the obligations under Article 22.2 of the LSSI when they are necessary for providing the requested service, as occurs with the cookies listed above. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (e.g., for behavioral advertising purposes), they will be subject to these obligations.
Preference or Personalization Cookies: These remember information so that the user can access the service with specific characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, number of results displayed when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service based on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service, or the region from which the user accesses the service, etc.
*If the user selects these characteristics (for example, if they select the language of a website by clicking the flag icon of the corresponding country), the cookies are exempt from the obligations of Article 22.2 of the LSSI as they are considered a service explicitly requested by the user, provided that the cookies are only used for the selected purpose.
Analysis or Measurement Cookies: These allow the party responsible for the cookies to track and analyze the behavior of users on the websites they are linked to, including the measurement of ad performance. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure website, application, or platform activity, with the aim of making improvements based on the analysis of the data users generate while using the service.
*Although this type of cookie is not exempt from the requirement of obtaining informed consent for its use, the GT29 stated that it is unlikely to pose a privacy risk for users, as long as it is first-party data, processed in aggregate form for strictly statistical purposes, and users are informed about its use and given the option to refuse its use.
Behavioral Advertising Cookies: These store information about the behavior of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the creation of a specific profile to display personalized advertising based on this information.
