1. What are cookies?
The Dining Company (hereinafter the Website) makes use of Cookies.
Cookies are files sent through a Web server to a browser to record the user’s activity on a specific Website.
The primary purpose of Cookies is to provide the user with faster access to selected services.
In addition, Cookies personalize the services offered by the Web, offering and providing each user with information that may be of interest to them, based on their use of the Services.
The Website uses Cookies to personalize and facilitate user navigation as much as possible.
Cookies are associated only with an anonymous user and his computer and do not provide references from which the user’s personal data can be derived.
The user can configure his browser to notify and refuse the installation of cookies sent by the website, without affecting the user’s ability to access the content of said website.
However, please note that in any case, the quality of operation of the website may be reduced.
Registered users who register or are logged in will be able to benefit from more personalized services tailored to their profile, thanks to the combination of the data stored in cookies with the personal data used at the time of registration.
These users expressly consent to the use of this information for the purpose indicated, without prejudice to their right to refuse or disable the use of cookies.
Similarly, the Website will be able to know all the services requested by users so that they can provide or offer information that suits the tastes and preferences of each user.
2.What types of cookies exist?
● Cookies, depending on their durability, can be divided into:
Session Cookies
They expire when the user closes the browser.
Permanent cookies
They expire depending on when the purpose for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified in the Services) or when they are manually deleted.
● Depending on their owner, they can be divided into:
Own cookies
They are those sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain controlled by the editor himself from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third party cookies
They are data sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain not controlled by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
● In addition, 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 that you do not have to reconfigure the Service each time you visit.
This typology includes, for example:
– Volume settings for video or sound players.
– Video transmission speeds compatible with your browser.
Geolocation cookies
These cookies are used to find out which country you are in when you request a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to target content to your location.
Registration cookies
Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently opened his session and are used to identify him in the Services with the following purposes:
– Keep the user identified so that if they exit a service, browser or computer and re-enter that service at another time or another day, they remain identified, facilitating their navigation without having to re-identify themselves .
This functionality can be removed if the user clicks on the functionality “log out” so that this cookie is deleted and the next time he/she enters the service, the user will have to log in to be identified.
– Check whether the user has access to certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.
Analytical cookies
Each time a User visits a Service, a third-party tool generates an analytical Cookie on the User’s computer.
This Cookie, generated only during the visit, will be used on future visits to the Website Services to anonymously identify the visitor.
The main objectives pursued are:
– Allows the anonymous identification of browsing users via the “Cookie” (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the estimated accounting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
– Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore the most attractive to users.
– Know if the user seeking access is new or has a repeat visit.
– Important: Unless the user decides to register with a web service, the “Cookie” will never be linked to personal data that can identify him.
These cookies are only used for statistical purposes that help optimize the user experience on the site.
Behavioral advertising cookies
This type of "Cookies" allows us to expand the information of advertisements shown to each anonymous user on the Web Services. Among other things, the duration or frequency of viewing ad positions, interaction with them, or the user's browsing and/or sharing patterns are stored because they help form a profile of ad interest. In this way, they enable us to serve ads related to the user's interests.
Third-party advertising cookies
In addition to the advertisements managed by the Website on its Services, the Website allows its advertisers to serve advertisements through third parties ("AdServers"). This allows these third parties to store cookies sent by the Web Services from users' browsers, and to access the data stored therein.
3.How to disable cookies? Mandatory
