COOKIES POLICY

What are Cookies?

The Website for IC CONSTRUCTION (commercial name of IC Asociados S.A.) www.icconstruction.com (hereinafter, “the Website”) uses Cookies. Cookies are files sent to a browser by a web server to record User activities on a given website. The main purpose of Cookies is to provide the User with faster access to selected services. Cookies also personalise the services the Website offers, facilitating and offering each User information they are or may be interested in, based on their use of the Services.

The Website uses Cookies to personalise and optimise the User’s browsing experience as much as possible. Cookies are only associated with an anonymous User and their computer, and do not provide information that make it possible to deduce the User’s personal data. You can set your browser to notify and reject the installation of Cookies sent by this Website, without it affecting your ability to access the content. However, please be aware that this may reduce the functionality of the Website.

Registered Users who have logged in may benefit from more personalised services, tailored to their profiles, thanks to the combination of the data stored in the Cookies with the personal data used at the time of registration. These Users expressly authorise that this information may be used for these purposes, without prejudice to their right to reject or disable the use of Cookies.

Likewise, the Website will be able to track all the services requested by the Users, in order to be able to provide or offer information adapted to each User’s tastes and preferences.

What types of Cookies are there?

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

“Session Cookies”: Session Cookies expire when the User closes their browser.

“Persistent Cookies”. These expire when the purpose that they serve has been met (for example, to keep the user logged in to the Services), or when they are deleted manually.

Also, depending on their Purpose, Cookies can be classified as follows:

Performance Cookies: This type of Cookie stores your preferences for the tools found in the services, so that you do not have to reconfigure a given service every time you visit. For example, this type includes:

Video and audio player volume settings.
Video download speeds compatible with the User’s browser.

Geo-location Cookies: These Cookies are used to find out which country you are in when a service is requested. They are completely anonymous and are only used to help tailor content to your location.

Registration Cookies: Registration Cookies are generated once Users have registered, or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify them in the services for the following purposes:

To keep Users logged in so that if they close a Service, the browser or the computer and re-enter the Service at another time or another day, they will stay logged in, thus facilitating their browsing experience without them having to log in again. This function can be deleted if the User clicks on the “log out” function, so the Cookie is deleted and the next time the User enters the service, they will have to log in to identify themselves.
To check whether the User is authorised to access certain services; for example, to participate in a contest.

Analytics Cookies: Each time a User visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytic Cookie on the User’s computer. This Cookie is only generated when you visit, and it will help on future visits to the Services offered by our Website to anonymously identify you as a visitor. The main objectives are:

To allow for the anonymous identification of Users through “Cookies” (identifying browsers and devices, not people) and, therefore, calculate the approximate number of visitors, and these trends over time.
To anonymously identify the most visited content and, therefore, that which is most attractive to Users.
To know whether the User is a new or repeat visitor.
Important: Unless the User decides to register for a Service on our Website, the “Cookie” will never be linked to any personal data that may identify them. These Cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimise the User experience on the site.

Behavioural advertising cookies: These types of “Cookies” make it possible to expand the information of the ads displayed to each anonymous user in the Web Services.. Among other things, the duration or frequency of display of advertisements, interaction with them, and browsing patterns and/or user behaviour are stored, among others, as they help to form a profile for advertising purposes.

Third-party advertising cookies: In addition to the ads managed by the Website through its Services, the Website offers its advertisers the option to place ads through third parties (“Ad Servers”). These third parties may store Cookies sent from the Web Services from Users’ browsers, and access the data stored on them.
