Cookies policy

Hergon Metropolitan SLU informs about the use of cookies on its website: http://www. hergonmetropolitan. es/

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your computer via websites. They play an essential role in the provision of many Information services. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their computer and, depending on the information obtained, may be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on who is the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:
• Own cookies: Those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
• Third party cookies: Those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

In the event that cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the length of time they remain stored in the client's browser, which may be:
• Session cookies: 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).
• Persistent cookies: The data is still stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:
• Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and to use the different options or services that exist there, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, making an application for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the display of videos or music, or sharing content via social networks.
• Customization cookies: They allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined according to a number of criteria on the user's terminal, such as language, type of browser through which the service is accessed, regional configuration, etc.
• Analytical cookies: They allow the responsible person to monitor and analyze the behavior of the users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, applications or platforms and to compile navigation profiles of the users of these sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by the users of the service.
• Advertising cookies: They allow the management, in the most effective possible way of advertising spaces.
• Behavioral advertising cookies: They store information about the behavior of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
• Cookies from external social networks: They are used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (facebook, youtube, twitter, linkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for the users of said social networks. The terms of use of these cookies and the information collected are governed by the privacy policy of the respective social platform.
