In accordance with Spanish regulations governing the use of cookies related to the provision of electronic communication services, as outlined in Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002, dated July 11, on information society services and electronic commerce, we inform you about the cookies used on the CALZADOS BOREAL, S.L. website and the reasons for their use.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when accessing certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their computer. Depending on the information they contain and how your computer is used, cookies can be used to recognize the user. Cookies are only associated with an anonymous user and their computer or device, and do not provide references that allow the identification of personal data.

3. TYPES OF COOKIES

3.1. According to the entity managing them

a. Own cookies: Those sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the requested service is provided.

b. Third-party cookies: Those sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies.

3.2. According to the purpose

There are various purposes for the use of cookies. Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, some purposes may include:

a) Technical cookies: Those allowing user navigation through a website, platform, or application and the use of different options or services available, including those used by the publisher to manage and operate the website, enable its functions and services, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted access parts, remembering elements that make up an order, completing the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to service security, making a registration or participation request in an event, counting visits for software license billing with which the service operates (website, platform, or application), using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or audio dissemination, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of text or image), or sharing content through social networks. Technical cookies are exempt from compliance with the obligations established in Article 22.2 of the LSSI when they allow the provision of the service requested by the user, as is the case with the cookies listed above. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (e.g., behavioral advertising purposes), they will be subject to such obligations.

b) Preference or customization cookies: Those allowing the user to remember information so that they can access the service with certain features that differentiate their experience from other users, such as language, the number of results to show when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc. If the user chooses these features themselves (e.g., selecting the language of a website by clicking on the icon of the corresponding country flag), the cookies will be exempt from the obligations of Article 22.2 of the LSSI, considering it a service expressly requested by the user, provided that the cookies exclusively serve the selected purpose.

c) Analysis or measurement cookies: Those allowing the party responsible for them to monitor and analyze the behavior of users on the websites to which they are linked, including quantifying the impacts of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms, in order to make improvements based on the analysis of usage data by users of the service.

d) Behavioral advertising cookies: Those storing information about the behavior of users obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertisements based on it.

3.3. According to the duration of their activation

a) Session cookies: Those designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to keep for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.

b) Persistent cookies: Those in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie owner, ranging from a few minutes to several years.
