About Cookies - Galería Metro

1. What are cookies and why do we use them on Galería Metro´s websites

 

 

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to the user´s device when accessing certain web pages to store and retrieve information about the navigation that takes place from that computer.

 

 

Cookies allow this website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about user decisions and habits. At Galería Metro we use them to personalize the experience within our sites, identify and remember the registered user and facilitate navigation.

 

 

It is important to note that the use of cookies does not provide personal information about the user, who remains anonymous to Galería Metro.

 

 

Users can configure their browsers not to accept the use of cookies, in which case the personalization of the experience would not apply although they will be able to continue accessing the contents of our websites normally.

 

 

On the Wikipedia page (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie_(computing)) it is possible to obtain more information about what cookies are and how they work

 

 

2. What kind of cookies do Galería Metro´s websites use?

 

 

Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire when the purpose for which they were used is fulfilled (for example, so that the user can remain identified on the Gallery Metro websites and services) or when they are manually deleted.

 

 

Additionally, depending on their purpose, Cookies can be classified as follows:

 

 

- Performance Cookies: This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found on the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. By way of example, this type of cookie is included:

 

 

Video or sound player volume settings.

 

Video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser.

 

 

- Geolocation Cookies: These Cookies are used to find out which country you are in when you request a website or service. This Cookie is completely anonymous, and is only used to help target content to your location.

 

 

- Logging Cookies: Logging Cookies are generated once a User has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify you on the websites and services for the following purposes:

 

 

To keep the user identified so that, if he/she closes a service or website, the browser or the computer and at another time or another day he/she re-enters said service or website, he/she will continue to be identified, thus facilitating his/her navigation without having to identify him/herself again. This functionality can be deleted if the user presses the "Exit" functionality, so that this Cookie is deleted and the next time the user enters the website he will have to log in to be identified.

 

Check if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest

 

Additionally, some services may use third party connectors such as Facebook, Twitter or Google. When the user registers with a service with credentials from a third party social network or identification system, it authorises the user to save a persistent cookie that remembers his/her identity and guarantees access to the website until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the website through social networks or third party identification systems by updating their preferences in the social network they specify.

 

 

- Analytical cookies: Each time a user visits a website or service, an analytical cookie is generated on the user´s device by a tool from an external provider (Google Analytics and similar). This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used on future visits to Galería Metro services to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives pursued are

 

 

To allow the anonymous identification of users through the "Cookie" (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.

 

Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore more attractive to users

 

To know if the user who is accessing is new or repeats a visit.

 

 

Important: Unless the User decides to register on any Galería Metro website, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that may identify him/her. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimize the user´s experience on the site.
