Catena Iuris S.L. informs about the use of cookies on its website: https://www.minteguiabogados.com

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through websites. They are essential tools for providing numerous services in the information society. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user's browsing habits or their device, and depending on the information obtained, they can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on who manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the obtained data, two types can be distinguished:

    First-party cookies: These are sent to the user's terminal from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the requested service is provided.
    Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user's terminal from a computer or domain not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

If the cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the publisher, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification based on the duration they remain stored in the user's browser, which can be:

    Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a webpage. They are usually used to store information that is only relevant for the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).
    Persistent cookies: The data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the cookie's owner, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

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

    Technical cookies: Those that allow users to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the various options or services available, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the items that make up an order, completing the purchase process of an order, requesting registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound broadcasting, or sharing content through social networks.
    Customization cookies: Allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria on the user's device, such as language, the type of browser through which they access the service, the regional configuration from where they access the service, etc.
    Analysis cookies: Allow the responsible party to track and analyze user behavior on the linked websites. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure website activity and create user browsing profiles to introduce improvements based on the analysis of usage data.
    Advertising cookies: Allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces.
    Behavioral advertising cookies: Store information on user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising accordingly.
    External social media cookies: Used for visitors to interact with the content of different social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and generated solely for users of those social networks. The conditions for using these cookies and the information collected are regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social media platform.
