Cookie Policy
What we store in your browser, and how to change your mind
Access to this Website may involve the use of cookies. Cookies are small amounts of information stored in the browser used by each User —on the different devices they may use to browse— so that the server can remember certain information that will later be read only by the server that set it. Cookies make browsing easier and more user-friendly, and do not damage the browsing device.
Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information about the preferences set by the User during their visit to the Website, in order to recognise them as a User and personalise their experience and use of the Website. They can also, for example, help to identify and resolve errors.
The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the Website and the sites visited immediately before and after it. However, no cookie can link this information to the User’s telephone number or any other personal means of contact. No cookie can extract information from the User’s hard drive or steal personal information. The only way the User’s private information can become part of a cookie file is if the User personally gives that information to the server.
Cookies that make it possible to identify a person are considered personal data. The Privacy Policy therefore applies to them. Accordingly, the User’s consent is required for their use. This consent must be based on a genuine choice, given by means of an affirmative, positive decision before the initial processing, and must be revocable and documented.
First-party cookies
These are cookies sent to the User’s computer or device and managed exclusively by locatespain.es for the better functioning of the Website. The information collected is used to improve the quality of the Website and its Content, and the User’s experience. These cookies make it possible to recognise the User as a returning visitor to the Website and to adapt the content to offer them content that matches their preferences.
Third-party cookies
These are cookies used and managed by external entities that provide locatespain.es with services it has requested in order to improve the Website and the User’s browsing experience. The main purposes for which third-party cookies are used are to obtain access statistics and to analyse browsing information, that is, how the User interacts with the Website.
The information obtained relates, for example, to the number of pages visited, the language, the location of the IP address from which the User accesses the Website, the number of Users accessing it, the frequency and recurrence of visits, the length of the visit, the browser used, and the operator or type of device from which the visit is made. This information is used to improve the Website and to identify new needs in order to offer Users Content and/or a service of the highest quality. In any case, the information is collected anonymously, and reports on Website trends are produced without identifying individual users.

The owners of those social networks have their own data protection and cookie policies and are, in each case, responsible for their own files and their own privacy practices. The User should refer to them for information about those cookies and, where applicable, the processing of their personal data.

Disabling, rejecting and deleting cookies
The User can disable, reject and delete the cookies installed on their device —in whole or in part— through their browser settings (for example Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Explorer). The procedures for rejecting and deleting cookies may differ from one internet browser to another. The User should therefore follow the instructions provided by the browser they are using. If the User rejects the use of cookies —in whole or in part— they will still be able to use the Website, although the use of some of its features may be limited.
