Welcome to the COOKIE POLICY of the website of the PROVINCIAL ASSOCIATION OF HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM ENTREPRENEURS, with NIF G02014702, where we will explain in clear and simple language all the necessary information so that you can exercise control over them based on your personal decisions.

WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHAT DO WE USE THEM FOR?

A cookie is a small information file that is stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet every time you visit our website. In principle, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, Trojans, worms, etc. that could damage your device. However, it does have a certain impact on your right to the protection of your personal data, as it collects certain information about you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.). Therefore, based on the provisions of the applicable regulations (LSSI and current personal data protection regulations), the activation of certain types of cookies will require your prior authorization. Before doing so, we will provide you with some additional information that will help you make better decisions in this regard:

1. Cookies can be of various types depending on their purpose:

• Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function; they do not require your authorization and are the only ones we have activated by default.
• The rest of the cookies are used to improve our website, to personalize it based on your preferences, or to show you advertising tailored to your searches, tastes, and personal interests. You can accept all these cookies by clicking the ACCEPT ALL button, configure them, or reject their use by clicking on the COOKIE SETTINGS section.

Your current state: Consent accepted Allow all cookies (Functional, Performance, Analytics, Advertising, Other, Necessary). Manage your consent.

2. Some cookies are ours (we’ll call them first-party cookies), and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we’ll call them third-party cookies: an example could be cookies from external providers such as Google). In this regard, it is important that you know that some of these external providers may be located outside of Spain. Globally, not all countries have the same level of data protection, with some countries being safer than others (for example, the European Union is a safe environment for your data). Our policy is to use reliable providers who, regardless of whether they are located in the European Union or not, have adopted the appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information. However, in the section titled WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?, you can consult the different Privacy and Data Protection Policies of each of the aforementioned external providers, in order to make an informed decision about whether or not to activate the third-party cookies used on our website.
3. Finally, please note that, depending on the length of time they remain active, cookies can be of two types:

• Session cookies: These expire automatically when you end your session on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. They are usually used to retain the necessary information while providing a service to you on a single occasion.
• Persistent cookies: These remain stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet for a specific period, which can vary from a few minutes to several years.

WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES CAN WE USE ON OUR WEBSITE?

• Technical Cookies:

Technical cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function and for you to browse it. These types of cookies, for example, allow us to identify you, give you access to certain restricted areas of the website if necessary, or remember different options or services you have already selected, such as your privacy preferences. Therefore, they are activated by default and your authorization is not required. Through your browser settings, you can block or alert you about the presence of these types of cookies, although blocking them will affect the proper functioning of the various features of our website.

• Analytics Cookies:

Analytics cookies allow us to study the general navigation of users of our website (for example, which sections of the page are most visited, which services are most used and whether they work correctly, etc.). Based on statistical information about navigation on our website, we can improve both the functioning of the website itself and the various services it offers. Therefore, these cookies are not intended for advertising purposes, but rather serve solely to make our website function better, adapting to our users in general. By activating them, you will contribute to this continuous improvement. You can activate or deactivate these cookies by checking the corresponding box. They are disabled by default.

• Functionality and Personalization Cookies:

Functionality cookies allow us to remember your preferences and customize certain features and general options of our website each time you access it (for example, the language in which information is presented to you, the sections you mark as favorites, your browser type, etc.). Therefore, these types of cookies are not intended for advertising purposes. Enabling them will improve the functionality of the website (for example, by adapting it to your browser type) and personalize it based on your preferences (for example, by presenting information in the language you have previously chosen). This will contribute to the ease, usability, and comfort of our website during your browsing experience. You can enable or disable these cookies by checking the corresponding box. They are disabled by default.

• Advertising Cookies:

Advertising cookies allow us to manage the advertising spaces included on our website based on criteria such as the content displayed or the frequency with which ads are shown. For example, if you have been shown the same ad several times on our website and have not shown personal interest by clicking on it, it will not appear again. In short, by activating this type of cookies, the advertising displayed on our website will be more useful, diverse, and less repetitive. You can enable or disable these cookies by checking the corresponding box; they are disabled by default.

• Behavioral Advertising Cookies:

Behavioral advertising cookies allow us to obtain information based on the observation of your browsing habits and behaviors on the website, in order to show you advertising content that best suits your personal tastes and interests. To make it very easy for you to understand, we’ll give you a fictitious example: if your last web searches were related to thriller literature, we would show you ads for thriller books. Therefore, by activating this type of cookie, the advertising we show you on our website will not be generic, but rather targeted to your searches, tastes, and interests, thus being tailored exclusively to you. You can activate or deactivate these cookies by checking the corresponding box; they are deactivated by default.
