Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are and why they are used on UNADE’s websites.

A cookie is a file that is downloaded onto the user’s device when accessing certain web pages in order to store and retrieve information about the browsing carried out from that device.

Cookies allow that website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the user’s decisions and habits. At UNADE we use them to personalize the experience within our website, identify and remember the registered user and facilitate navigation.

It is important to note that the use of cookies does not provide the user’s personal data, who, as far as UNADE is concerned, remains anonymous.

The user can configure their browser not to accept the use of cookies, in which case the personalization of the experience would not apply, although they will still be able to access the content of our website normally.

On the Wikipedia page (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie_(informática)) you can obtain more information about what cookies are and how they work.

2. What type of cookies does the UNADE website use?

Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or persistent cookies. The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire when the purpose for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified on the UNADE website and services) or when they are manually deleted.

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

Technical Cookies: Technical cookies are those that are essential and strictly necessary for the correct functioning of a web portal and the use of the different options and services it offers. For example, those that serve to maintain the session, manage response time, performance or validation of options, use security elements, share content with social networks, etc.

AddThis is a technology company that allows websites and their users to easily share content with others, through sharing icons and social bookmarking destinations. AddThis cookies are used in order to enable content to be shared. AddThis is also used to collect information about how website content is shared. Cookies help to uniquely identify a user (although not personally, but rather by address) so as not to repeat tasks within a specified period of time. http://www.addthis.com/privacy

Third-party cookies: These are those installed by third parties, that is, they do not belong to the visited website. This may be due to advertising or banners found on the visited website.

Analytics cookies: Each time a User visits a Website or Service, a tool from an external provider (Google Analytics, comScore and similar) generates an analytics cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will serve in future visits to UNADE’s services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:

  • Allow the anonymous identification of browsing 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 and therefore most attractive content for users.
  • Know whether the user accessing is new or is a returning visitor.

Important: Unless the User decides to register, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. Said cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help optimize the users’ experience on the site.

  • Google Analytics.
  • Clicky.

Online chat cookies: this type of cookie allows us to remember the preferences of our virtual customer service or online chat. For example, they remember whether you have closed the chat window because you do not want to use this service for the next times you visit our website, for a period of time long enough so that it is not annoying.
