WHAT ARE COOKIES?

The website of VP GINKGO RESTAURANTES S.L (https://www.ginkgoskybarmadrid.com) uses Cookies. Cookies are files sent to a browser through a web server to record the User’s activities on a specific website. The primary purpose of Cookies is to provide the user with faster access to selected services. In addition, Cookies personalize the services offered by the Web, facilitating and offering each user information that is of interest to them or may be of interest to them, depending on their use of the Services.

The Web uses Cookies to personalize and maximize user navigation. Cookies are associated solely with an anonymous user and their computer and do not provide references that allow the deduction of personal data of the user. The user can configure their browser to notify and reject the installation of Cookies sent by the Web, without affecting the user’s ability to access the contents of said website. However, please note that, in any case, the quality of operation of the website may decrease.

Registered users, who register or have logged in, may benefit from more personalized services tailored to their profile, thanks to the combination of data stored in cookies with personal data used at the time of registration. These users expressly authorize the use of this information for the stated purpose, without prejudice to their right to refuse or disable the use of cookies.

Likewise, the Web may know all the services requested by users, so that they can facilitate or offer information appropriate to the tastes and preferences of each user.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES EXIST?

Cookies, depending on their Permanence, can be divided into:

• Session cookies: They expire when the user closes the browser.
• Persistent cookies. They expire depending on when the objective for which they serve is met (for example, to keep the user identified in the Services) or when they are manually deleted.

Depending on their Owner, they can be divided into:

• Own cookies: These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
• Third-party cookies. These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

Additionally, depending on their Objective, Cookies can be classified as follows:

• Performance cookies: This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service every time you visit. By way of example, this typology includes:
  • Volume settings for video or sound players.
  • The video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser.
• Geo-location cookies: These Cookies are used to find out what country you are in when a service is requested. This Cookie is completely anonymous, and is only used to help guide the content to your location.
• Registration cookies: Registration Cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently opened their session, and are used to identify them in the services with the following objectives:
  • Keep the user identified so that, if they close a service, the browser or the computer and at another time or another day returns to that service, they will remain identified, thus facilitating their navigation without having to re-identify. This functionality can be suppressed if the user presses the “log out” functionality, so that this Cookie is eliminated and the next time they enter the service the user will have to log in to be identified.
  • Check if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.
• Analytical 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 the Web Services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
  • Allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the “Cookie” (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
  • Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore most attractive to users.
  • Know if the user who is accessing is new or repeats a visit.
  • Important: Unless the user decides to register for a Web service, the “Cookie” will never be associated with any personal data that can identify them. These Cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help optimize the experience of Users on the site.
• Behavioral advertising cookies: This type of “Cookies” allows to expand the information of the ads shown to each anonymous user in the Web Services. Among others, the duration or frequency of viewing advertising positions, the interaction with them, or the browsing patterns and/or behaviors of the user are stored, since they help to form a profile of advertising interest. In this way, they allow to offer advertising related to the interests of the user.
• Third-party advertising cookies: In addition to the advertising managed by the Web in its Services, the Web offers its advertisers the option of serving ads through third parties (“AdServers”). In this way, these third parties can store Cookies sent from the Web Services from the browsers of the Users, as well as access the data stored in them.
