Cookie Policy
- What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are generated in the user’s computer and that allow us to know the frequency of visits, the most selected contents and the security elements that may intervene in the control of access to restricted areas, as well as the display of advertising based on criteria predefined by HOTEL COSTA BLANCA and that are activated by cookies served by said entity or by third parties that provide these services on behalf of HOTEL COSTA BLANCA.
As a general rule, there are the following types of cookies.
Depending on who is the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and treats the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:
- Own cookies: those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
In the event that cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through these is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies.
There is also a second classification according to the length of time that they remain stored in the client’s browser:
- Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of products purchased).
- Persistent cookies: the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained are processed:
- Technical Cookies: Technical or necessary cookies are essential for our website to function properly and include basic functionalities such as identifying the session or giving registered users access to restricted access areas. For these reasons technical cookies cannot be disabled.
