Through this notice, the website www.pampolsarq.com—owned by PAMPOLS ARQUITECTE S.L.P (tax identification number [C.I.F.] B-12227641)—informs you of its cookie policy, in compliance with the provisions of Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002, of July 11, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are files that are downloaded to a user’s device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when accessing certain web pages and are stored in the device’s memory. Among other functions, cookies allow for the storage and retrieval of information regarding a user’s browsing habits or their device—such as which pages are visited, the duration of the connection, the performance of a website, or the presence of technical issues. Depending on the information they contain and how the device is used, they may also be used to recognize the user.

What types of cookies are there?

There are various types of cookies, categorized according to different criteria:

Based on the duration for which they remain active:

• Session cookies: A type of cookie designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a webpage.
• Persistent cookies: A type of cookie in which data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie.

Based on ownership:

• First-party cookies: Cookies that belong to the owner of the webpage.
• Third-party cookies: Cookies owned by a third party—distinct from the owner of the webpage—who will process the information collected.

Based on their purpose:

• Technical cookies: Cookies that allow the user to navigate through a webpage, platform, or application and use the various options or services available therein. This includes cookies used by the publisher to manage and operate the webpage and to enable its functions and services—for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying a session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in an order, carrying out the purchasing process, managing payments, preventing fraud related to service security, handling registration or participation requests for events, counting visits for the purpose of billing software licenses used to run the service (webpage, platform, or application), employing security features during navigation, storing content for the playback of videos or audio, enabling dynamic content (such as loading animations for text or images), or sharing content via social media.

Also falling into this category, due to their technical nature, are cookies that enable the most efficient management of advertising spaces—which serve as an element of the service’s design or “layout.” …provided to the user, which the publisher has included on a webpage, application, or platform based on criteria such as the published content, without collecting user information for other purposes—such as personalizing that advertising content or other types of content. Technical cookies are exempt from compliance with the obligations established in Article 22.2 of the LSSI when they are necessary to provide the service requested by the user, as is the case with the cookies listed in the preceding paragraphs. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (for example, for behavioral advertising), they will be subject to those obligations.

• Preference or personalization cookies: These cookies allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with specific features that may distinguish their experience from that of other users—for example, language, the number of results to display when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service based on the type of browser used to access it, or the region from which the user accesses the service, etc.

If the user themselves chooses these settings (for example, by selecting a website’s language by clicking on an icon representing a country’s flag), such cookies are exempt from the obligations set out in Article 22.2 of the LSSI, as they are considered a service explicitly requested by the user—provided that the cookies serve exclusively the purpose selected by the user.

• Analytics or measurement cookies: These allow the party responsible for them to track and analyze the behavior of users on the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of ad impressions. The information collected through these types of cookies is used to measure activity on websites, applications, or platforms, with the aim of making improvements based on an analysis of how users interact with the service.

Regarding the processing of data collected via analytics cookies: although they are not exempt from the requirement to obtain informed consent for their use, they are unlikely to pose a risk to user privacy, provided that they are first-party cookies, process aggregated data for strictly statistical purposes, provide information about their use, and offer users the option to decline their use.

• Behavioral advertising cookies: These store information about user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows for the creation of a specific profile used to display targeted advertising.

Depending on how long they remain active on the user’s device, we can distinguish between:

• Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a webpage. They are typically used to store information that only needs to be kept for the duration of a specific service requested by the user (for example, a list of purchased products) and are deleted once the session ends.
• Persistent cookies: These are cookies where data remains stored on the user’s device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie—a duration that can range from a few minutes to several years.

What is the purpose of a cookie?

Cookies are used to provide you with personalized services and/or advertising, to analyze system performance, to recognize you when you access the site as a user, to identify and resolve any issues or problems that may arise as quickly as possible, and to analyze and measure the usage and activity on the website.

Is my consent required to place a cookie?

Consent is not required for the installation of technical cookies or those that are strictly necessary to provide an information society service explicitly requested by the user.

For all other types, the user’s consent is required and may be obtained through various means. In the context of this website, consent is considered granted if you continue to use the website; however, you may revoke this consent and disable the cookies at any time.

Which cookies are currently used on this website? Who uses these cookies?

SESSION OR PERSISTENT TECHNIQUES: They are OWN cookies, session, identification, configuration and registration, strictly necessary for the identification of the user and for the provision of the services requested by the user. The information obtained through these is processed only by the owner of the website.
