1.-INTRODUCTION

In accordance with Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002, worded by section five of the second final provision of Law 9/2014, of May 9, General Telecommunications Law (Official State Gazette [BOE] May 10; Correction of errors [BOE] May 17) and in force since May 11, 2014: “Service providers may use data storage and retrieval devices (so-called cookies) on terminal equipment of recipients, provided that they have given their consent after being provided with clear and complete information on their use, in particular, on the purposes of the data processing, in accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 3/2018 on the protection of personal data.” However, according to the third paragraph of Article 22.2, “The foregoing shall not preclude the possible storage or access of a technical nature for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or, to the extent strictly necessary, for the provision of an information society service expressly requested by the recipient.” This last point refers to what are known as technical cookies. .

The procedure for complying with regulatory obligations regarding cookies:

1. Create an inventory of the cookies used by the website, collecting the following information: the cookie name, its origin (first-party or third-party), its purpose, and its retention period. This task can be performed using the developer tools included in web browsers or by contacting the company that designed and programmed the website.
   
   
   
   
2. Define a summary of the purposes to be included in the so-called “first layer”. Installing this first layer requires computer and programming knowledge or the use of third-party tools, always bearing in mind that the user must be given the option to reject the installation of cookies, except for technical cookies which cannot be rejected.
3. Include a link to a webpage with the cookie policy (known as the second layer). This page should be accessible from every page on the website.

2.-HOW TO INFORM AND OBTAIN INFORMED CONSENT

In its guidelines on transparency, the Article 29 Working Party recommends the use of layered privacy statements or notices, that is, containing information in layers, so that the user can access those aspects of the statement or notice that are of greatest interest to them, thus avoiding information fatigue, and without prejudice to the fact that all the information is available in a single place or in a complete document that can be easily accessed if the interested party wishes to consult it in its entirety.

This system consists of displaying essential information in a first layer along with three buttons: ACCEPT, REJECT (only technical cookies are authorized), and MORE INFORMATION. This first layer is manifested in practical terms by displaying a banner or tab when accessing the web page or application, and is then complemented by a second layer, which takes the form of a page offering more detailed and specific information about cookies (usually called the cookie policy page).

In the first layer, which for clarity may be identified under a commonly used term (such as, for example

For example, “cookies”), the following information would be included:

1. Identification of the publisher responsible for the website. The company name will not be necessary, provided that its full identifying information appears in other sections of the website (legal notice, privacy policy, etc.) and its identity can be clearly deduced from the website itself (for example, when the domain itself corresponds to the publisher's name or the brand with which it identifies itself to the public or said name or brand appears clearly on the website).
2. Identification of the purposes of the cookies that will be used.
3. Information on whether the cookies are first-party (from the website owner) or also from third parties associated with him, without it being necessary to identify the third parties in this first layer.
4. Generic information about the type of data that will be collected and used if user profiles are created (for example, when behavioral advertising cookies are used).
5. How the user can accept, configure and reject the use of cookies.
6. A clearly visible link leading to a second layer of information that includes more detailed information, using, for example, the term "Cookies", "Cookie Policy" or "More information, click here".

This information will be provided before the use of cookies, including, where applicable, their installation, through a format that is visible to the user and that must be maintained until the user takes the action required to obtain consent or its rejection (meanwhile, technical cookies may be installed on the user's computer, e.g., PHPSESSID, ASPNET_SESSION, and similar).

3.-TEXT OF THE PAGE »COOKIE POLICY»

1.-BACKGROUND

In accordance with Spanish regulations governing the use of cookies in relation to the provision of electronic communications services, as set out in Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 of July 11, on information society services and electronic commerce, we inform you about the cookies used on the NOVAINDEF website and the reason for their use.

2.-What are cookies?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user's browsing habits or their device, and, depending on the information they contain and how you use your device, they can be used to recognize the user. Cookies are associated only with an anonymous user and their computer or device and do not provide any information that would allow the identification of your personal data.

3.-TYPES OF COOKIES

3.1.-According to the entity that manages it

a.- First-party cookies: These are those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

b.- Third-party cookies: These are those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

3.2.-According to the purpose

There are many purposes for the use of cookies. Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, some of the purposes may be:

1. Technical cookies: These are cookies that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available on it, including those used by the publisher to manage and operate the website and enable its functions and services, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in an order, processing an order, managing payment, controlling fraud related to service security, submitting registration or participation requests for an event, counting visits for billing purposes for software licenses used by the service (website, platform, or application), using security features during navigation, storing content for video or audio playback, enabling dynamic content (e.g., text or image loading animations), or sharing content across networks

Technical cookies will be exempt from compliance with the obligations set out in article

22.2 of the LSSI when they allow the provision of the service requested by the user, as is the case with the cookies listed in the preceding paragraphs. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (for example, for behavioral advertising purposes), they will be subject to these obligations.

1. Preference or personalization cookies: these are those that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, language, the number of results to show when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.

If the user chooses these characteristics themselves (for example, if they select the language of a website by clicking on the flag icon of the corresponding country), cookies will be exempt from the obligations of article 22.2 of the LSSI because they are considered a service expressly requested by the user, and this is provided that the cookies obey exclusively the selected purpose.

1. Analytics or measurement cookies: These cookies allow the party responsible for them to track and analyze user behavior on the websites to which they are linked, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure website, application, or platform activity in order to make improvements based on the analysis of user data.
2. Behavioral advertising cookies: These are cookies that store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on that profile.

3.3.- According to the length of time they remain active

1. Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while a user is browsing a website. They are typically used to store information that is only needed to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
2. Persistent cookies: These are cookies in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie owner, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

4.-LIST OF COOKIES USED BY THIS WEBSITE
