Cookies Policy
What are cookies?
A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser.
The identifier is sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
Cookies are only associated with this identifier, which identifies the device and browser used on each visit, so they do not provide references that allow other personal data to be deduced from the user.
Who is responsible for the use of cookie?
The company that owns this website is Gonvarri Solar Steel S.L (hereinafter, SOLAR STEEL), with registered office at Polígono Industrial Cancienes, S/N, Corvera De Asturias, 33470, Asturias, with C.I.F. number B74405093 registered in the Mercantile Registry of Madrid, and part of the Gonvarri Industries Group.
What types of cookies are on Solar Steel's websites and what are their purposes?
There are two types of cookies:
- Persistent Cookies remain on the user’s device for a certain period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated every time the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
- Session Cookies are temporary. They allow website operators to link a user’s actions during a browsing session. A browser session starts when the user opens the browser window and ends when they close the browser window. Once the browser is closed, all session cookies are deleted.
Cookies also have four different functions and can be classified as follows: “strictly necessary” cookies, “performance” cookies, “functionality” cookies and “targeting” or “advertising” cookies.
- Strictly necessary cookies are essential for navigating a website and using its features. Without them, you would not be able to use basic services such as registration or shopping carts. These cookies do not collect information about you that can be used for marketing or to remember where you have been on the internet.
- Performance and analytical cookies collect data for statistical purposes about how visitors use a website, do not contain personal information such as names and email addresses, and are used to improve your experience as a user of a website.
- Functionality cookies allow users to personalize the way a website searches for them: they can remember usernames, language preferences, and regions, and can be used to provide more personal services such as local weather reports and traffic news.
- Advertising and targeting cookies are used to deliver more user-relevant ads, but they can also limit the number of times an ad is viewed and are used to track the effectiveness of an advertising campaign by tracking user clicks. They can also provide security in transactions. They are normally placed by third-party advertising networks with the permission of the website operator, but they may be placed by the operator itself. They may remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, including other advertisers. However, they cannot determine who you are, as the data collected is never linked to any profile. Without these cookies, the online advertisements you encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests.
