The domain https://quimialmel.com uses automatic collection procedures (Cookies) to gather personal information such as browser type or operating system, referring page, path, ISP (Internet Service Provider) domain, etc., all for the purpose of improving the services provided. Cookies help us adapt this website to your personal needs.

A “Cookie” is a small file stored on the user’s computer that allows us to recognize them. The set of “cookies” helps us improve the quality of our website, allowing us to partially personalize each user’s navigation of our site. Cookies are currently essential for the operation of the internet, offering numerous advantages in the provision of interactive services and making navigation and usability of our site easier.

Please note that cookies cannot damage your computer and, in return, having them enabled helps us identify and resolve errors and improve site navigation.

Types of cookies:

To provide the user with more information on the types and uses of cookies, we inform you that:

From the point of view of the “cookie lifetime” (time the cookie remains active on your device), we can distinguish between:

• Session cookies: temporary cookies that remain in the browser’s cookie file until the user leaves the website, meaning none are stored on the user’s hard drive. The information collected by these cookies serves to analyze traffic patterns on the web. Over time, this allows us to provide a better experience, improve content, and facilitate its use.
  
• Persistent cookies: stored on the hard drive, and our site reads them each time you return. A persistent cookie has a set expiration date. After that date, the cookie will no longer function. They are generally used to facilitate the user experience by remembering navigation habits or, if applicable, to provide purchase and/or registration services.
  

From the point of view of the purpose of each cookie, we can distinguish between:

• Technical cookies: allow the user to navigate a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available, including those used by the editor to enable website management and operation and to activate its functions and services.
  
  Technical cookies, as long as they correspond to any of the following profiles, are exempt from the obligations set forth in article 22.2 of the LSSI* (i.e., obtaining consent for their installation and use through the presence of a cookies banner or cookies policy):
  
  • User input cookies
    
  • Authentication or user identification cookies (session only)
    
  • User security cookies
    
  • Media player session cookies
    
  • Load balancing session cookies
    
  • User interface customization cookies
    
  • Plug-in cookies for exchanging social content
    
• *according to the EU Working Party of Experts, in Article 29 of its Opinion 4/2012
  
• Preference or customization cookies: allow information to be remembered so the user accesses the service with specific features that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to display when a search is performed, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used, or the region from which the service is accessed, etc.
  
  If the user themselves chooses these features (e.g., selecting the language of a website by clicking the corresponding country flag icon), such 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, and provided that the cookies are used solely for the chosen purpose.
  
• Analytics or measurement cookies: allow the party responsible for them to track and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure website, application, or platform activity in order to introduce improvements based on analyzing user service usage data.
  
• Behavioral advertising cookies: store information on users’ behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing a specific profile to be developed to display advertising based on this profile.
  

From the point of view of the entity managing the cookies, we can distinguish between:

• First-party cookies: sent to the user’s device from a device or domain managed by the editor and from which the requested service is provided.
  
• Third-party cookies: sent to the user’s device from a device or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
  

QUIMIALMEL S.A. stores all information collected through Cookies in a non-personalized format (IP address). This type of information obtained through Cookies will not be disclosed outside QUIMIALMEL S.A., except in cases indicated in the section “List and description of cookies,” nor will it be used for unsolicited communications.
