Our website espa.com uses a technology called 'cookies' in order to obtain information about website usage, improve the overall user experience and ensure its proper functioning.

 

Definition of Cookie

A 'cookie' is a small piece of text that websites send to the browser and that is stored on the user's terminal (computer or mobile device). The purpose of these files is to store data that can be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for their installation. Thus, each time the user revisits the same website, the browser retrieves the file and sends it to the website server. Cookies have several functions, including collecting information about the user's preferences and remembering it, and in general, facilitating the use of the website for the user by making the site more useful through the customization of its content.

Cookies can be classified according to different parameters:

  1. Provenance: first-party cookies and third-party cookies: these are related to the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and how the data obtained is processed.
  2. Duration: session cookies and persistent cookies: these are related to the length of time they remain stored on the user's terminal.
  3. Purpose: technical cookies, preferences cookies, statistics cookies, marketing cookies, targeting cookies: these are related to the purpose for which the data obtained is processed.
    • Technical cookies: these allow the user to navigate through the website or application and use the different options or services that exist in it. For example, controlling the transit and communication of data, identifying the session or accessing restricted-access sections of the website.
    • Preferences cookies: these allow users to access the service by means of some general characteristics predefined in their terminal or which users themselves define. For example, the language, the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the design of the selected content.
    • Statistics cookies: these are either processed by us or by third parties, and allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out a statistical analysis of user usage of the services on offer. It is for this reason that we analyze browsing on our website, as it allows us to improve the range of products or services we offer.
    • Marketing cookies: these allow for the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, if applicable, the publisher has included on a web page, application or platform from which it provides the requested service on the basis of criteria such as the published content or the frequency with which the advertisements are shown.
    • Targeting cookies: these allow for the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, if applicable, the publisher has included on a web page, application or platform from which it provides the requested service. These cookies store information on user behavior that is obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, thereby allowing for the creation of a specific profile to display advertising based on the user's browsing habits.
