Welcome to the COOKIES POLICY of the website of the Integrated Sustainable Urban Development Strategy ‘Cono Sur’ of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, of the entity SOCIEDAD MUNICIPAL DE GESTIÓN URBANÍSTICA DE LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA, S.A., company VAT number A35660844. Throughout this section we will explain in clear and simple language all the necessary details so that you can have control over cookies based on your personal choices.
WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHAT DO WE USE THEM FOR?
A cookie is a small data file that is stored by your browser, smartphone or tablet each time you visit our website.
A cookie is harmless and does not contain any malicious or harmful code (e.g. viruses, Trojans, worms, etc.) that could damage your system (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.); however, it does have a certain impact on your right to data protection, since it collects specific personal information about you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
As a result, the acceptance of certain types of cookies will require your prior authorisation to comply with current laws (LSSI – Law of Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce and data protection laws).
With just a simple click in a box on our COOKIE CONFIGURATION section, you can give your authorisation to enable all the cookies you need: take control and enjoy personalised browsing on our page.
Before doing so, we will give you some additional information that will help you make the right decision:
1. There are several different types of cookie which vary according to their purpose:
- Technical cookies are required for the page to work properly – they do not require authorisation and they are the only ones which are enabled by default.
- All other cookies are used to make the page better browsing experience for you, to personalise the page according to your preferences or to be able to show you advertising which is tailored to your searches, likes and personal interests. By default, this type of cookie is disabled unless you give prior authorisation to enable it; to do this, all you need to do is click in the box in our COOKIE CONFIGURATION.
2. Some of the cookies belong to us (we call them our own cookies) and others belong to external companies which provide services for our website (we call these third-party cookies: a good example of this is cookies from external providers such as Google). It is important for you to understand that some of these external providers may be located outside Spain.
Not all countries have the same level of data protection, and there are some countries which are safer than others (for example, the European Union is a safe area to your data). It is our policy to only work with reliable providers who – whether they are located within the European Union or not – have adopted sufficient guarantees to ensure that your personal information remains protected. However, you can check the different privacy and data protection policies for each of these external providers in the section entitled WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE? so that you can make an informed decision on whether to enable the third-party cookies used on our website or not.
3. Finally, there are two different types of cookie depending on the length of time that they remain active:
- Session cookies: automatically expire when you close the session on your computer, smartphone or tablet. This type of cookie is generally used to record the necessary information when you are being provided with a one-off service.
- Persistent cookies: remain stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet for a specified period of time which can range from just a few minutes up to several years.
WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES MIGHT BE USED ON OUR WEBSITE?
Technical Cookies:
Technical cookies are required for our website to work and for you to be able to navigate through it. This type of cookie is used, for example, to identify you, provide you access to certain restricted areas of the website where necessary or to log different options or services which you have already selected, e.g. your privacy settings. This means that they are enabled by default, and do not require your authorisation.
You can use the configuration settings of your browser to block or warn you about the presence of this type of cookie, however, blocking these cookies will prevent certain areas of our website from functioning correctly.
Analytics Cookies:
Analytics cookies are used to help us study how visitors to our website use it (for example, which sections of the site are the most visited and which services are used the most and whether they work correctly, etc.).
Based on this statistical information on how our page is used, we can improve both how the website itself works and also the different services that it offers. These cookies are not used for advertising, all they are used for is to make our website function well so that we can provide better service to our users. By enabling these cookies, you will be helping us continue to improve our site.
You can enable or disable cookies by ticking or unticking the box. They are disabled by default.
Functionality and Personalisation Cookies:
Functionality cookies allow us to record your preferences so that we can tailor specific characteristics and general options on our website every time you visit it (for example, the language you wish to see content in, sections you have marked as favourites or the browser you are using, etc.).
As a result, this type of cookie is not used for advertising, but if you enable it, you will improve the functionality of the website (for example, by adapting it to your browser) and personalisation of it based on your preferences (for example, by showing you information in the language you have previously selected). This will help make your visit to our website simpler and better for you.
You can enable or disable cookies by ticking or unticking the box. They are disabled by default.
Advertising Cookies:
Advertising cookies help us manage the advertisements shown on our website, e.g. the type of content shown or the frequency with which advertising is displayed.
This means, for example, if you have been shown the same advertisement on our website but have not shown any interest in it (i.e. have not clicked on it), you will not be shown the advert again. In short, by enabling this type of cookie, the advertising shown to you on our website will be more useful, more varied and less repetitive.
You can enable or disable cookies by ticking or unticking the box. They are disabled by default.
Behavioural Advertising Cookies:
Behavioural advertising cookies allow us to obtain information based on the observation of your browsing habits and behaviour on our website; this information can then be used to help show you advertising content tailored to your tastes and personal interests.
To make it easier to understand, here is a fictitious example: if your last searches on the web were related to thriller literature, we would show you advertisements about thriller books.
Therefore, by activating this type of cookie, the advertising we show you on our website will not be generic, but will be targeted to your searches, tastes and interests, and will therefore be tailored exclusively to you.
You can enable or disable cookies by ticking or unticking the box. They are disabled by default.
WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?
Here you will find some information about all the types of cookies currently used on our website and the purpose of each one of them:
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH COOKIES?
When you access our website for the first time, you will be shown a window informing you that cookies can be of various types:
- Technical cookies are required for the page to work properly – they do not require authorisation and they are the only ones which are enabled by default. Therefore, these are the only cookies that will be enabled if you only click the ACCEPT button.
- The other cookies are used to improve our website, to personalise it based on your preferences, or to be able to show you ads tailored to your searches, tastes and personal interests. They are all disabled by default, but you can enable them in the COOKIE CONFIGURATION section: take control and enjoy personalised browsing on our website. All you need to do is tick the cookies you wish to enable.
We would also like to inform you that you can also disable any cookies at any time by just unticking the box in the COOKIES CONFIGURATION section of our website. It will always remain quick and easy for you to enable or disable cookies whenever you want.
We would also like to remind you that you can use the configuration settings of your browser to block or warn you about the presence of this type of cookie, however, blocking these cookies will prevent certain areas of our website from functioning correctly.
Finally, we would also like to inform you that if you enable third-party cookies (cookies from external companies which provide services to our website) and subsequently wish to disable them, you can do so in two ways: by using your browser's cookie deactivation tools or through the systems set up by these external providers.
To make it easier for you, here are a series of links to the guidelines for disabling cookies in commonly used browsers:
Safari for IOS (iPhone y iPad).
Google Chrome for Iphone y Ipad.
Likewise, we list the links to the systems enabled by each of the aforementioned external suppliers for the deactivation of their cookies (note: the client must then include the links to the third-party cookie policies present on their website, allowing the user to deactivate them in a simple way):
Thank you for your collaboration.
