What are cookies?

Cookies are a set of data that a server deposits in the user’s browser to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information on a website. In other words, they are small text files that are stored on your computer’s hard drive and are used to identify the user when they return to the website. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and save certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the web as they allow pages to function more efficiently and provide greater personalization and analysis of user behavior.

What types of cookies exist?

The cookies used on our website are session and third-party cookies, and they allow us to store and access information related to language, browser type, and other general characteristics predefined by the user, as well as to monitor and analyze the activity carried out, with the goal of improving and providing our services in a more efficient and personalized manner.

Cookies, depending on their duration, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser. Permanent cookies expire depending on when their purpose is fulfilled (e.g., keeping the user logged in to SPHOOX services) or when they are manually deleted.

Additionally, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:

(*)Note: Table to be completed by the provider

Performance Cookies

This type of cookie remembers your preferences for tools found in services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. Examples include: volume settings of video or audio players, video streaming speeds compatible with your browser, or items saved in the «shopping cart» in e-commerce services such as stores.

Geo-location Cookies

These cookies are used to determine the country you are in 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 within the services for the following purposes:

• Keep the user identified so that if they close a service, browser, or computer and return later, they will remain identified, making navigation easier without needing to log in again. This functionality can be removed if the user clicks [log out], so this cookie is deleted and the next time they access the service, they will need to log in again.

• Check whether the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.

Additionally, some services may use social media connectors such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers with credentials from a social network, they authorize the network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and grants access to the services until it expires. The user may delete this cookie and revoke access via social networks by updating their preferences in the specific social network.

Analytical Cookies

Each time a user visits a service, a third-party tool generates an analytical cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used during future visits to SPHOOX services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives are:

• Allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (identifies browsers and devices, not individuals), thereby enabling approximate user counts and trends over time.

• Anonymously identify the most visited content and thus the most attractive to users.

• Determine whether the user is new or a returning visitor.

Important: Unless the user registers for a SPHOOX service, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to optimize the user experience on the site.

Advertising Cookies

These cookies allow for more information to be shown about ads served to each anonymous user in SPHOOX services. Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of ad displays, user interaction, or browsing behavior patterns to help build a profile of advertising interests. In this way, they help deliver advertising tailored to the user’s interests.

Third-party Advertising Cookies

In addition to the advertising managed by SPHOOX websites in their services, SPHOOX sites offer their advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties (“Ad Servers”). These third parties can store cookies sent from SPHOOX services through users’ browsers and access the data stored in them.

How can I disable cookies in my browser?

Different browsers can be configured to notify users of the receipt of cookies and, if desired, prevent their installation on the device. Users can also check in their browser which cookies are installed and what their expiration date is, as well as delete them.
