Política de Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored in your browser when you visit our website. These files contain information about your browsing and interaction with our website, in order to make your user experience more efficient and to be able to display advertising based on your browsing habits. Some cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website, such as technical cookies or user interface customisation cookies, and others, such as analytical cookies or behavioural advertising (or marketing) cookies, require that we inform you and that you give us your consent before they can be used. LocalStorage and SessionStorage are two data storage spaces located in your device's browser and, like cookies, can be either proprietary (when created by our own website) or third party (when created by our service providers or our partners). The difference between the two is that LocalStorage stores information indefinitely or until you decide to clear the data from your browser, whereas SessionStorage stores information for as long as the tab where you are using our website remains open and, once closed, the information is deleted. The difference with cookies is that SessionStorage and SessionStorage allow more information to be stored than cookies without impacting the performance of our website. For more information here.

In general, the level of risk of cookies depends on the type of cookie and whether they are first-party or third-party cookies. Most cookies are not dangerous. Specifically:

Technical and preference cookies have more benefits than risks

The Article 29 Working Party (former WG29 and now the European Data Protection Committee) in its Opinion 4/2012, "sobre la exención del requisito de consentimiento de cookies"considers that they do not pose a risk to you and exempts from the obligation to obtain prior consent to their use all cookies that are used:

• necessary for communications to be transmitted over a network between the user and the servers hosting the website, and all those that are necessary for communications to be transmitted over a network between the user and the servers hosting the website, and all those that
• are necessary to provide a specific functionality explicitly requested by the user.

This exemption from the obligation to base the lawfulness of their use on your consent, as they do not represent a risk to you, is also reflected in the cookie guides published by most of the Data Protection Agencies of the EU countries (for example, in the case of the Spanish one, it is included in section 4.1 of the guide on the use of cookies, July 2020). WG29 even defined the purposes that it explicitly considers to have more benefits than risks for you:

Cookie purposes explicitly excluded from informed consent

With regard to their purpose, the WG29 explicitly excludes the following cookies from the obligation to obtain the visitor's informed consent:

• So-called "user input" cookies, which are typically used to track the user's actions when filling in online forms in an http session, or to remember the shopping basket that the user has selected in an e-commerce),
• Session cookies that are used for user authentication or identification, which store a kind of token (witness that the user is who they say they are and have already been authenticated) to prevent this user from having to give their username or password on each page they request and have restricted access control,
• User security cookies, introduced specifically to reinforce the security of the service explicitly requested by the user. For example, to detect incorrect and repeated attempts to connect to a website, or abuse,
• Media player session cookies
• Session cookies to balance the load on information systems.
• User interface personalisation cookies, for example, to remember your preferred language, and
• Certain plug-in cookies for sharing social content.

Generally, in cases where a website offers its visitors a service, in order to use cookies exclusively for the purposes for which consent is not required, listed above, whether they are our own or those of third parties, it will not be necessary for the website operator, us, to inform the visitor of their use or to obtain their consent.

Statistical cookies do not pose an appreciable risk either.

With regard to the processing of data collected through analytical cookies, the aforementioned opinion of the current European Data Protection Committee stated that, although they are not exempt from the duty to obtain consent for their use, they are unlikely to represent a risk to users' privacy provided that they are own cookies, that they process aggregated data for strictly statistical purposes, that information is provided on their uses and that the possibility for users to express their refusal on their use is included.

First-party cookies do not usually pose an appreciable risk to you either.

Our own cookies are generated by our website, while third-party cookies are generated by services or suppliers independent of us, and it is these independent suppliers who define the purposes and means of the processing they carry out. Our only responsibility with respect to third-party cookies is the necessary collaboration of our website in the placement of these cookies on your computer, which we are normally obliged to do because it is necessary in order to use the services provided by these third parties (for example, to check that you are not one of those robots that abound on the Internet, thus preventing the requests or comments that you could send us through the forms on our website from harming the attention of the real ones).

Technical cookies are those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application as well as the use of the different options or services that exist on it, including the management and operation of the website and enabling its functions and services (for example, identifying your session, accessing parts of the website that have restricted access, remembering the elements that make up your order, carrying out the purchase process of your order, managing your payment, etc.). The website or app cannot function properly without these cookies, which is why they are considered necessary. In our specific case, we use the following cookies:

Cookie report

currency	.theembassystore.ad	1 month	Used to remember the selected currency.
CookieScriptConsent	CookieScript theembassystore.ad	1 month	The Cookie-script.com service uses this cookie to remember visitors' cookie consent preferences. It is necessary for the Cookie-script.com cookie banner to function properly.

Preference or personalisation cookies allow our website to remember information that changes the way our pages behave or look in order to differentiate your experience from that of other users. For example, we usually remember the language in which you want to view our website. If you voluntarily choose these features, for example, by marking the flag or letters that identify the language, it is considered a service expressly requested by you as long as the cookies obey exclusively for the purpose of personalisation, so that in this case it would not be necessary to ask for explicit authorisation. Our website uses the following preference cookies:

Name	Supplier / Domain	Expiration	Description
_ga	Google LLC .theembassystore.ad	2 years	This cookie name is associated with Google Universal Analytics, which is a significant update to Google's most widely used analytics service. This cookie is used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a customer identifier. It is included in each page request on a site and is used to calculate visitor, session and campaign data for site analytics reporting.
_gid	Google LLC .theembassystore.ad	1 dia	This cookie is set by Google Analytics. It stores and updates a unique value for each page visited and is used to count and track page views.

Statistical or analysis cookies are those that allow us to understand how visitors interact with the pages of our website and thus perform statistical analysis of the services we provide. The information collected is used to measure activity on our site in order to make improvements to the products and services we offer you. We will only use analytics cookies if you authorise us to do so by clicking on the relevant button in the cookie banner or through your settings menu. Specifically, our website uses the following analytics cookies:

Please note that although the purpose of the third-party cookies we use, for which we are responsible, is as indicated in the table above, these third parties may use the data collected by their cookies for other purposes for which they are solely responsible. In the case of third party cookies, our responsibility for the third party purposes is limited to downloading the cookies to your device (which we do for the purpose set out above). You can find out about the purposes of these third parties, and whether or not they make transfers to third countries, in their respective policies (see the links in the table). For example, we use cookies from the Google Analytics service, from Google Ireland Ltd, to extract aggregate statistics. This means that the cookies may also send the information collected to Google Ireland Ltd. To prevent this we recommend that you install the add-on designed by Google itself not to send you the data collected by these cookies. This plug-in does not prevent your browser from sending data to our website, but it does prevent it from sending data to Google. You can find out more about how Google uses your data by visiting the following Google pages:

• Google Privacy and Terms

Marketing or behavioural advertising cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through the continuous observation of your browsing habits, which allows us to develop a specific profile to display relevant and attractive ads for the individual user, and therefore more valuable to third-party advertisers. We will use marketing cookies only if you authorise us to do so by clicking on the relevant button in the cookie banner or via your settings menu. Specifically, our website uses the cookies listed in the table below:

Cookie report

Name	Supplier / Domain	Expiration	Description
language	.theembassystore.ad	1 mes	There are many different types of cookies associated with that name, and a closer look at how it is used on a particular website is generally recommended. However, in most cases, it is likely to be used to store language preferences, potentially to deliver content in the stored language. The ICC category given here is based on this usage.
