By means of this notice, the website port-torredembarra.es owned by Port Torredembarra S.A., with Tax ID A43355403, informs you of its cookie policy, thereby complying 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 the user’s device (computer/smartphone/tablet) when accessing certain web pages and are stored in its memory. Cookies allow, among other things, the storage and retrieval of information about a user’s browsing habits or their device, such as which pages are visited, connection time, analysis of website functionality, and technical issues. Depending on the information they contain and how the device is used, they can be used to recognize the user.

What types of cookies exist?

There are several types of cookies based on different criteria:

By ownership:

  • Own Cookies: These are cookies that belong to the website owner.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies owned by a third party, different from the website owner, who will handle the collected information.

By purpose:

  • Technical Cookies: These cookies allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the various options or services available, including those used by the publisher to manage and operate the website and enable its functions and services. For example, they control data traffic and communication, identify the session, access restricted areas, remember items in a shopping cart, complete the purchase process, manage payment, control fraud related to service security, handle event registration or participation, count visits for software license billing, use security elements during browsing, store content for video or audio broadcasting, enable dynamic content (such as text or image loading animation), or share content through social networks. Technical cookies are exempt from the obligations established in Article 22.2 of the LSSI when they provide the service requested by the user, as in the case of the cookies listed above. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (e.g., behavioral advertising), they will be subject to these obligations.
  • Preference or Personalization Cookies: These cookies remember information to allow the user to access the service with certain features that may differentiate their experience from other users, such as language, number of search results, appearance or content of the service based on the browser type or the region from which the user accesses the service. If the user themselves selects these features (e.g., by choosing the language of a website by clicking on the flag icon), the cookies will be exempt from the obligations of Article 22.2 of the LSSI, as they are considered a service expressly requested by the user, provided that the cookies are solely for the selected purpose.
  • Analysis or Measurement Cookies: These cookies allow the controller to track and analyze user behavior on the linked websites, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure website, application, or platform activity, aiming to improve based on the analysis of usage data. Although data collected through analysis cookies is not exempt from the requirement of informed consent, it is unlikely to pose a risk to user privacy as long as they are first-party cookies, treat aggregated data for strictly statistical purposes, provide information about their use, and offer users the option to refuse their use.
  • Behavioral Advertising Cookies: These cookies store information about user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on that profile.

Based on the duration they remain active on the terminal device, cookies can be classified as follows:

  • Session Cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a website. They are typically used to store information needed for a single session, such as a list of purchased items, and disappear when the session ends.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain stored on the terminal device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

What is the purpose of a cookie?

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

Is consent required to implement a cookie?

Consent is not required for the installation of technical cookies or those strictly necessary for providing an information society service expressly requested by the recipient.

For other types of cookies, consent from the interested party is required and can be requested through various means. In relation to this website, consent will be understood as given if you continue to use the website, although you can revoke it and disable cookies at any time.

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

TECHNICAL COOKIES (SESSION OR PERSISTENT): These are OWN COOKIES, including session, identification, configuration, and registration cookies, which are strictly necessary for user identification and for providing the services requested by the user. The information obtained through these cookies is processed solely by the website owner.

ANALYTICAL COOKIES: These are cookies that, whether processed by us or by third parties, allow us to quantify the number of users and perform statistical measurement and analysis of how users use the offered service.

These tools do not collect personal data from users or their postal addresses. The information they collect is related to the number of pages visited, the language, the city to which the IP address is assigned, the number of users visiting us, the frequency and recurrence of visits, the visit duration, the browser used, the service provider, or the type of device from which the visit is made.
