Cookies policy

[NOTE: Two types of policies are set out in this document. The first of these corresponds to technical cookies, i.e. when the website only hosts cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, as well as to maintain the preferences expressed by users, whether they are our own or those of third parties, and which do not collect personal data.

In this regard, the Authorities interpret the following cookies as strictly necessary:

• User login" cookies .
• Authentication or user identification cookies.
• User security cookies .
• Media player session cookies.
• Session cookies for load balancing.
• User interface customisation cookies.
• Certain plug-in cookies for social content sharing.

Thus, the Authorities provide that these cookies may be understood to be excluded from the scope of application of article 22.2 of the LSSI, and, therefore, it would not be necessary to inform or obtain consent for their use. That said, it is specified that for reasons of transparency it is recommended to inform, at least generically, of those cookies excluded from the scope of application of article 22.2 of the LSSI.

In any case, it should be borne in mind that the same cookie may have more than one purpose (multi-purpose cookies), so there is a possibility that a cookie may be exempted from the scope of application of article 22.2 of the LSSI for one or more of its purposes and not for others, the latter being subject to the scope of application of the aforementioned provision. In relation to cookie management or configuration systems, when multi-purpose cookies are used for two or more purposes that are not exempt from the scope of application of article 22.2 LSSI, it must be guaranteed that these cookies are only used if all the purposes they group together are accepted, and this unless the management system used allows for differentiated treatment of the different purposes, so that if the user accepts one of its purposes and not others, the cookie will only operate for the accepted purpose.

On the other hand, a policy is set out for when the web portal has implemented necessary cookies, referred to above, and non-necessary cookies (for example, analytical, statistical, etc.), which may also be own or third-party cookies. With regard to non-necessary cookies, it should be noted that they are included within the scope of application of article 22.2 LSSI. For this purpose, in order to use this type of cookies and, therefore, to be able to store and retrieve data, it will be necessary to obtain the consent of the users, after having provided them with clear and complete information on their use, in particular, on the purposes of data processing, in accordance with the provisions of the personal data protection regulations.

Taking into account all the above information, you should choose one or the other policy, depending on the cookies that the web portal in question has actually installed.

6. POSSIBILITY OF DENIAL OF ACCESS TO THE SERVICE IN CASE OF REJECTION OF COOKIES ('PAY OR OKAY' MODEL):

In line with the aforementioned regarding the impossibility of not allowing or blocking the user's access to the website or the services offered if they do not accept cookies, it is necessary to point out that there may be certain situations in which not accepting the use of cookies prevents access to the website or the full or partial use of the service, provided that the user is adequately informed of this and is offered an alternative, not necessarily free, way to access the service without having to accept the use of cookies. The services of both alternatives must be genuinely equivalent, and it will not be valid for said service to be offered by an entity other than the publisher.

Circumstances and conditions may include the use of the "consent or remuneration" (also popularly called "pay or okay") models:

First, it should be noted that the possibility of applying this alternative affects exclusively large online platforms, such as social media.

That said, Opinion 8/2024 of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) states that, in most cases, it will not be possible for large online platforms to meet the requirements for understanding that consent has been validly given by data subjects if they only offer users a binary choice between consent to the processing of personal data for behavioral advertising purposes and the payment of a fee to avoid such processing of personal data.

Considering the above, large online platforms should consider providing data subjects with an "equivalent alternative" that does not involve the payment of a fee. This alternative, the EDPB adds, could consist of general or contextual advertising. That is, advertising that requires the processing of less or no personal data from the recipient, such as, for example, based on a selection of topics chosen by the subject from a list of topics of interest provided by the platform.
