Cookie Policy

This website uses both first-party and third-party cookies in order to provide you with a better browsing experience, to allow content sharing on social networks, and to enable us to obtain user statistics.

You can prevent cookies from being downloaded by configuring your browser settings, thereby avoiding cookies being stored on your device.

As the owner of this website, I inform you that we do not use any personal information derived from cookies; we only compile general visit statistics, which do not involve any personal information.

It is very important that you read this Cookie Policy and understand that if you continue browsing, we will assume that you accept their use.

In accordance with Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 on Services of the Information Society and Electronic Commerce, by continuing to browse you are giving your consent for the use of these mechanisms.

Responsible Entity

The entity responsible for the collection, processing and use of your personal data, as established by the Personal Data Protection Law, is the IMHOIT website, owned by IMHOIT SL.

What are cookies?

Cookies are a set of data that a server places in the user’s browser to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behaviour information on a website. In other words, they are small text files stored on the hard drive of the computer, which serve to identify the user when they reconnect to the website. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and store certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the web, as they allow websites to function more efficiently and achieve greater personalisation and analysis of user behaviour.

Types of cookies

The cookies used on our website are session cookies and third-party cookies. They allow us to store and access information regarding language, browser type, and other user-defined general characteristics, as well as to track and analyse user activity in order to introduce improvements and provide our services in a more efficient and personalised manner.

Depending on their duration, cookies can be divided into session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser. Persistent cookies expire once the purpose for which they serve is achieved (for example, keeping the user logged into Carles Martínez Sarrado’s services) or when they are manually deleted.

Performance cookies

These cookies remember your preferences for the tools found within the services, so you do not need to reconfigure the service each time you visit. For example, this category includes:

Volume settings for video or sound players
Video streaming speeds compatible with your browser
Items saved in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services such as online shops

Geolocation cookies

These cookies are used to determine in which country you are located when requesting a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor content to your location.

Registration cookies

Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify them in the services for the following purposes:

Keeping the user logged in so that if they close a service, the browser or the computer, and at another time or day return to that service, they will remain logged in, thus facilitating navigation without having to log in again. This functionality can be disabled if the user clicks [log out], which deletes the cookie. The next time the user enters the service, they will need to log in again.
Verifying whether the user is authorised to access certain services, e.g. to participate in a competition.

Additionally, some services may use connectors to social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers in a service using social network credentials, they authorise the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to services through social networks by updating their preferences in the respective social network.

Analytics cookies

Each time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used in future visits to Carles Martínez Sarrado’s services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main purposes are:

Allowing anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (identifies browsers and devices, not people), and therefore approximate visitor counting and trend analysis over time
Identifying anonymously the most visited content and therefore the most attractive to users
Determining whether the user is new or a returning visitor

Important: Unless the user chooses to register with a Carles Martínez Sarrado service, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that can identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimise the user experience on the site.

Advertising cookies

These cookies allow information to be expanded on the advertisements shown to each anonymous user of Carles Martínez Sarrado’s services. Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of display of advertising positions, interaction with them, and browsing and/or user behaviour patterns, as they help to build an advertising interest profile. In this way, they enable the delivery of advertising tailored to the user’s interests.

Third-party advertising cookies

In addition to advertising managed by Carles Martínez Sarrado websites in their services, these websites offer advertisers the option of serving ads through third parties (“Ad-Servers”). In this way, these third parties can store cookies sent from Carles Martínez Sarrado’s services from users’ browsers, as well as access the data stored therein.

The companies generating these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, Carles Martínez Sarrado websites use the DoubleClick (Google) platform to manage these services. For more information, please visit:
