What are cookies?

Cookies are a set of data that a server places in the user’s browser to collect standard Internet log information and information about visitors’ behaviour on a website. In other words, they are small text files that are stored on the computer’s hard drive and are used to identify the user when they connect to the website again. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and save certain information.

Their use is common and frequent on the web as it allows pages to work more efficiently and achieve greater personalisation and analysis of user behaviour.

What types of cookies are there?

Cookies, depending on their duration, can be divided into session cookies or persistent cookies. The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire depending on when the purpose for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified on the services of MOVAL AGROINGENIERIA SL) or when they are deleted manually.

In addition, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:

Performance cookies

This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service every time you visit. By way of example, this type includes: volume settings for video or sound players; video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser; objects saved in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services such as shops.

Geolocation cookies

These cookies are used to find out which country you are in when a service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous, and is only used to help tailor content to your location.

Registration cookies

Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify you in the services for the following purposes:

Keeping the user identified so that, if they close a service, the browser or the computer and return to that service at another time or on another day, they will remain identified, thus making browsing easier without having to identify themselves again. This functionality can be removed if the user clicks the [log out] function, so that this cookie is deleted and the next time they enter the service the user will have to log in to be identified.

Checking whether the user is authorised to access certain services, for example, to take part in a contest.

In addition, some services may use connectors to social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers for a service with the credentials of a social

network, they authorise the social network to save a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to services via social networks by updating their preferences in the specific social network.

Analytics cookies

Every time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytics cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used in future visits to the services of MOVAL AGROINGENIERIA SL to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives pursued are:

To allow anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore an approximate count of the number of visitors and their trend over time.

To anonymously identify the most visited and therefore most attractive content for users, and to know whether the user accessing is new or a returning visitor.

Important: Unless the user decides to register for a service of MOVAL AGROINGENIERIA SL, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help optimise users’ experience on the site.

Advertising cookies

These cookies allow the information about the ads shown to each anonymous user in the services of MOVAL AGROINGENIERIA SL to be expanded. Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of display of advertising positions, interaction with them, or the user’s browsing patterns and/or behaviour, as they help build a profile of advertising interests. In this way, they make it possible to offer advertising that matches the user’s interests.

Third-party advertising cookies

In addition to the advertising managed by the websites of MOVAL AGROINGENIERIA SL in its services, the websites of MOVAL AGROINGENIERIA SL offer their advertisers the option of serving ads through third parties (“Ad-Servers”). In this way, these third parties may store cookies sent from the services of MOVAL AGROINGENIERIA SL originating from users’ browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.

How can I disable cookies in my browser?

The user has the option to allow, block or delete the cookies installed on their device by configuring the browser options as they wish.
