The website uses first-party and third-party cookies to evaluate and improve the user's browsing experience. Through the following Cookie Policy, we provide more detailed information about our use of cookies:
What are cookies? The CIGARRAL DEL CARMEN website (
https://www.cigarraldelcarmen.com/) uses cookies. Cookies are files sent to a browser by a web server to record the user’s activity on a specific website. The primary purpose of cookies is to provide the user with faster access to selected services. Additionally, cookies personalize the services offered by the website, making it easier to provide each user with information of interest based on their use of the services.
The website uses cookies to personalize and facilitate navigation as much as possible. Cookies are associated only with an anonymous user and their computer and do not provide references that allow personal data to be deduced. The user can configure their browser to notify and reject the installation of cookies sent by the website without affecting their ability to access the site's content. However, we note that the quality of the website's functionality may decrease as a result.
Registered users, those who have registered or logged in, can benefit from more personalized services tailored to their profile, thanks to the combination of data stored in cookies with the personal data used during registration. These users expressly authorize the use of this information for the stated purpose, without prejudice to their right to reject or disable the use of cookies.
Additionally, the website can track all services requested by users, allowing them to provide appropriate information based on each user's preferences.
What types of cookies are there? Cookies, based on their duration, can be divided into:
- Session cookies: These expire when the user closes the browser.
- Persistent cookies: These expire when the goal they serve is fulfilled (e.g., keeping the user logged into the services) or when they are manually deleted.
Additionally, based on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
- Performance cookies: These remember your preferences for tools in the services, so you don't have to reset the service each time you visit. For example:
- Volume settings for video or audio players.
- Video streaming speeds compatible with your browser.
- Geolocation cookies: These cookies are used to determine which country you are in when requesting a service. This cookie is entirely anonymous and only helps to tailor content to your location.
- Registration cookies: These are generated when the user registers or logs in and are used to identify them in the services with the following objectives:
- Keeping the user logged in, so if they close a service or browser and re-enter later, they will remain logged in without having to log in again. This functionality can be disabled by selecting "log out," which deletes the cookie, and the user will need to log in again when accessing the service.
- Checking if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.
- Analytical cookies: Each time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie on the user’s device. This cookie is only generated during the visit and will be used on subsequent visits to the website services to identify the visitor anonymously. The main purposes are:
- Allowing anonymous identification of browsing users via the cookie (identifying browsers and devices, not people) and thus approximate visitor count and trends over time.
- Anonymously identifying the most visited content, making it more attractive to users.
- Determining whether the user is a first-time or returning visitor.
- Important: Unless the user registers for a service on the website, the cookie will never be associated with personal data that could identify them. These cookies are only used for statistical purposes to optimize the user experience on the site.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: These cookies allow for the expansion of information about the ads shown to each anonymous user on the website. They store the duration or frequency of ad display, user interaction, browsing patterns, and behaviors that help form a user profile for advertising purposes. This allows for ads that align with the user’s interests.
- Third-party advertising cookies: In addition to the ads managed by the website, advertisers are given the option to serve ads through third parties (AdServers). These third parties can store cookies sent from the website's services in users' browsers and access the data stored in those cookies.
