What are cookies?

Cookies are a set of data that a server places in the user's browser to collect standard Internet log information and information about visitors' behaviour on a website. In other words, they are small text files stored on the computer's hard drive that serve to identify the user when they reconnect to the website. Their purpose is to record the user's visit and save certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the web, as it allows pages to function more efficiently and achieve greater personalisation and analysis of user behaviour.

What types of cookies exist?

The cookies used on our website are session and third-party cookies, and they allow us to store and access information relating to the language, the type of browser used and other general characteristics predefined by the user, as well as to track and analyse the activity they carry out, in order to introduce improvements and provide our services in a more efficient and personalised way.

Cookies, depending on how long they remain, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser. Permanent cookies expire depending on when the objective for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, to keep the user logged in to Joan Cama Ribot's services) or when they are manually deleted.

Additionally, depending on their objective, cookies can be classified as follows:

Performance cookies

This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. By way of example, this type includes: volume settings for video or sound players; the video transmission speeds compatible with your browser; the items saved in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services such as shops.

Geolocation cookies

These cookies are used to find out which country you are in when a service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor content to your location.

Registration cookies

Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify them in the services with the following objectives:

To keep the user logged in so that, if they close a service, the browser or the computer and at another time or on another day re-enter that service, they will remain logged in, thus facilitating their navigation without having to log in again. This functionality can be removed if the user clicks the [log out] function, so that this cookie is deleted and the next time the user enters the service they will have to log in to be identified.

To check whether the user is authorised to access certain services, for example, to take part in a competition.

Additionally, some services may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers for a service with social network credentials, they authorise the social network to save a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees them access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the services via social networks by updating their preferences on the specific social network.

Analytics cookies

Each time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytics cookie on the user's computer. This cookie, which is only generated on the visit, will serve on future visits to Joan Cama Ribot's services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:

To allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
To anonymously identify the most visited and therefore most attractive content for users. To know whether the user accessing is new or a returning visitor.

Important: Unless the user decides to register for a Joan Cama Ribot service, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help optimise the user experience on the site.

Advertising cookies

This type of cookie allows the information of the advertisements shown to each anonymous user in Joan Cama Ribot's services to be expanded. Among others, the duration or frequency of viewing of advertising positions, the interaction with them, or the user's browsing patterns or behaviours are stored, as they help to build an advertising interest profile. In this way, they make it possible to offer advertising in line with the user's interests.

Third-party advertising cookies

In addition to the advertising managed by Joan Cama Ribot's websites in their services, Joan Cama Ribot's websites offer their advertisers the option of serving advertisements through third parties (“Ad-Servers”). In this way, these third parties may store cookies sent from Joan Cama Ribot's services from users' browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.

The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, Joan Cama Ribot's websites use the Doubleclick (Google) platform to manage these services. For more information, go to

How can I disable cookies in my browser?

The different browsers can be configured to warn the user of the receipt of cookies and, if desired, to prevent their installation on the device. Likewise, the user can review in their browser which cookies they have installed and their expiry date, and can delete them.
