Cookie Policy

Welcome to the COOKIE POLICY of the website of the Asociación Cántabra de empresas elaboradoras de queso y productos lácteos, with Tax ID G72642622. Here we explain, in clear and simple language, all the information you need in order to have full control over cookies based on your personal choices.

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 each time you visit our website.

In principle, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, trojans, worms, or any other malicious software that could damage your device. However, it does have an impact on your right to the protection of personal data, as it collects certain information related to you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).

For this reason, in accordance with applicable regulations (LSSI and current personal data protection legislation), the activation of certain types of cookies requires your prior consent.

Before doing so, we would like to provide you with some additional information to help you make an informed decision:

  • Cookies may be classified according to their purpose:

    • Technical cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, do not require your consent, and are the only cookies enabled by default.

    • Other cookies are used to improve our website, personalize it according to your preferences, or show you advertising tailored to your searches, tastes, and personal interests. You may accept all these cookies by clicking ACCEPT, reject them by clicking REJECT, or configure them by clicking COOKIE SETTINGS.

  • Some cookies are our own (first-party cookies), while others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (third-party cookies, such as those from external providers like Google). Please note that some of these third-party providers may be located outside Spain.

  • Not all countries offer the same level of data protection worldwide. For example, the European Union is considered a safe environment for your data. Our policy is to work only with trusted providers who, regardless of whether they are located inside or outside the European Union, have adopted adequate safeguards to protect your personal data.

You can consult the privacy and data protection policies of these third-party providers in the section:

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?

to make an informed decision about whether or not to enable third-party cookies used on our website.

Finally, depending on how long they remain active, cookies may be classified as:

  • Session cookies: These expire automatically when you end your browsing session on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. They are usually used to store information necessary to provide a service on a single occasion.

  • Persistent cookies: These remain stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet for a specified period, which may range from a few minutes to several years.
