COOKIE POLICY

Agrometodos, S.A. provides information on the use of cookies on its website: www.agrometodos.com

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device via websites. They are tools that play a vital role in providing many different information society services. Among others, they enable a website to store and retrieve information on the browsing habits of a user or their equipment and, depending on the information obtained, can be used to recognise the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Two types can be distinguished, depending on the entity managing the domain from where the cookies are sent and where the data obtained is processed:

• First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal device from a system or domain managed by the publisher and from where the service requested by the user is provided.
• Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal device from a system or domain that is not managed by the publisher but by another organisation that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

Any cookies that are installed from a system or domain managed by the editor but the information collected by them is managed by a third party cannot be considered first-party cookies. There is also a second classification according to the time they are stored in the customer’s browser, in which case they may be:

• Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are often used to store information that is only to be kept to provide the service requested by the user on one occasion (e.g. A list of products purchased).
• Persistent cookies: The data remains stored on the device and may be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie administrator, which may range from several minutes to several years.

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

• Technical cookies: These enable the user to browse the website, platform or app, and to use the different options or services that exist on it, such as controlling traffic and the communication of data, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the components of an order, completing the purchase process of an order, making a request to register for or participate in an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the broadcasting of videos or audio or sharing content on social media.
• Personalisation cookies: These enable the user to access the service with certain pre-defined general characteristics according to a series of criteria on the user’s device, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional settings from where the service is accessed, etc.
• Analysis cookies: These enable the party responsible for them to track and analyse the behaviour of related website users. The information gathered by this type of cookie is used to measure site, app or platform activity and create browsing profiles for users of the sites, apps and platforms to make improvements based on analysing the use made of the data by the service users.
• Advertising cookies: These allow for the most effective management possible of the advertising spaces.
• Behavioural advertising cookies: These store behavioural information on the users obtained from permanently observing their browsing habits, allowing for the development of a specific profile to display advertising depending on it.
• External social media cookies: These are used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (facebook, youtube, twitter, linkedIn, etc.) and are only generated for the users of these social networks. The conditions for use of these cookies and the information collected are governed by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
