1. What is a cookie?

Cookies are small data or text files that web pages or applications install on your browser or device when you access certain websites or other online services, and that are used to store information about your browsing.

These files contain information that allows the user to be identified, either to personalise the page according to the user's profile or to facilitate the transfer of data between pages of the same website.

There are two main categories of cookies:

• Our own cookies, used directly by us on your device.  

• Third-party cookies, used by third parties through VICAIMA.

This website uses different types of cookies. With the exception of cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of this website, only after you have given your consent via the ‘Allow selection’ or ‘Allow all’ option will cookies be collected. Please note that rejecting certain types of cookies may have an impact on your experience with the website.

2. How are cookies used?

Visitors to this website use different computers and web browsers. To make your visits as simple as possible, an automatic record is kept of the type of browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome) and operating system (e.g. Windows, Macintosh) used and the domain name of your Internet service provider.

3. What type of cookies do we use asd why?

We use different types of cookies, as described below: 

• Cookies that are strictly necessary, essential for the functioning of the website. 
• Performance cookies, which help us measure the performance of the website and improve the user experience. Through the use of performance cookies, we do not store personal data, we only use the information collected through these cookies in an aggregated and anonymised form; 
• Functionality cookies, which allow us to improve the user experience (for example, by reminding you of all the settings you have previously defined); and
• Marketing/Segmentation cookies, which we use to track user activity and sessions so that we can provide a more personalised service.    
• Preference cookies, these cookies allow the website to store information that changes the behaviour and appearance of the website, such as your preferred language or the region you are in. For example, by memorising your region, a website can provide you with local weather or traffic information. These cookies can also help you change the text size, font and other customisable parts of web pages. The loss of information stored in a preference cookie may make the website experience less functional, but should not prevent it from working. 
• Security cookies are used to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of login credentials and protect data from unauthorised persons. For example, they make it possible to block many types of attack, such as attempts to swipe the content of forms you fill in on web pages. 
• Process cookies, these cookies help the website to function and provide services that the website visitor expects, such as browsing web pages or accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. 
• Advertising cookies, these cookies aim to make advertising more engaging for users and more valuable for publishers and advertisers. Some common applications of cookies are to select advertising based on what is relevant to the user, to improve reporting on campaign performance and to avoid showing adverts that the user has already seen. 

The following table provides an explanation of the Cookies used on the VICAIMA website and their purpose:

• External web services: We sometimes use external web services to display content within our pages. This measure helps us understand and target more relevant advertising campaigns in the future. For example, to show images or videos or to perform searches. Just like buttons for social networks, we cannot prevent the collection of information by these external websites or domains. If you require more information about our suppliers or how these cookies work, please contact us at [mkt@vicaima.com].
