Use of cookies

Through this notice on the website www.genius-forwarding.com, the owner GENIUS FORWARDING, S.L., with C.I.F. B25939695, 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 terminal (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 the browsing habits of a user or their equipment, seeing which pages are visited, connection time, analyzing the operation of a page, identifying technical problems, etc. Depending on the information they contain and the way the terminal is used, they can be used to recognize the user.

What types of cookies are there?

There are several types of cookies based on different criteria:

Based on ownership:

• First-party cookies: These are those that belong to the owner of the website.
• Third-party cookies: These are those owned by a third party, other than the website owner, who will be the one processing the information collected.

Based on their purpose:

• Technical cookies: These are those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services that exist therein, including those that the publisher uses to allow the management and operation of the website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing software licenses with which the service (website, platform, or application) works, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of a text or image), or sharing content through social networks.

Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are those cookies that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, as another element of design or “layout” of the service offered to the user, the publisher has included in a website, application, or platform based on criteria such as the edited content, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as personalizing that advertising content or other content. Technical cookies will be exempt from compliance with the obligations established in Article 22.2 of the LSSI when they allow the service requested by the user to be provided, as is the case with the cookies listed in the previous paragraphs. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (for example, for behavioral advertising purposes), they will be subject to those obligations.

• Preference or personalization cookies: These are those that allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to show when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.

If the user themselves chooses these characteristics (for example, if they select the language of a website by clicking on the icon of the corresponding country’s flag), 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 serve exclusively the selected purpose.

• Analysis or measurement cookies: These are those that allow the person responsible for them to monitor and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impacts of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookies is used in the measurement of the activity of the websites, application, or platform, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by users of the service.

Regarding the processing of data collected through analysis cookies, although they are not exempt from the duty to obtain informed consent for their use, they are unlikely to represent a risk to the privacy of users as long as they are first-party cookies that process aggregated data for strictly statistical purposes, provided that information about their uses is provided and the possibility for users to express their refusal of their use is included.

• Behavioral advertising cookies: These are those that store information on user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to show advertising based on it.

Depending on the time they remain activated in the terminal equipment, we can distinguish:

• Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only relevant to keep for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
• Persistent cookies: These are those in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

What is a cookie for?

Cookies are used to offer you personalized services and/or advertising, to analyze the operation of the system, recognize you when you access as a user, locate incidents and problems that may arise and solve them in the shortest possible time, as well as analyze and measure the use and activity of the website.

For the rest, the consent of the interested party is required, which can be requested in different ways. In relation to this website, it will be understood as granted if you continue to use the website, without prejudice to the fact that you may revoke it and deactivate cookies at any time.
