Cookies Policy

1. What are cookies?

The website of Centro de Danza Mari Cruz Alcalá (hereinafter, the Website) uses Cookies. Cookies are files sent to a browser by a web server to record a User’s activities on a particular website. Their primary purpose is to give users quicker access to the services they select. Cookies also personalise the services offered by the Website, helping to provide each user with information that interests them or may interest them, based on their use of the Services.

The Website uses Cookies to personalise and facilitate navigation as much as possible. Cookies are associated only with an anonymous user and their computer and do not provide references from which the user’s personal data can be inferred. Users may configure their browser to notify them of and reject Cookies sent by the Website without preventing access to its content. However, the quality of the Website’s operation may be reduced.

Registered users, those who register or those who have signed in may benefit from more personalised services suited to their profile, through the combination of data stored in cookies and the personal data provided during registration. These users expressly authorise the use of this information for the stated purpose, without prejudice to their right to reject or disable cookies.

The Website may also identify the services requested by users in order to provide or offer information suited to their tastes and preferences.

2. What types of cookies are there?

Depending on their Duration, Cookies can be divided into:

“Session cookies”: These expire when the user closes the browser.
“Persistent cookies”. These expire when their purpose has been fulfilled (for example, keeping the user signed in to the Services), or when they are deleted manually.

In addition, depending on their Purpose, Cookies can be classified as follows:

Performance cookies: These Cookies remember your preferences for tools within the services, so that you do not need to configure the service each time you visit. Examples include:
- Volume settings for video or audio players.
- Video transmission speeds compatible with your browser.
Geolocation cookies: These Cookies identify the country you are in when you request a service. This Cookie is completely anonymous and is used only to help tailor content to your location.
Registration cookies: Registration Cookies are generated when a user registers or subsequently signs in, and are used to identify the user within the services for the following purposes:
- To keep users identified so that, if they close a service, browser or computer and return later, they remain identified. This makes browsing easier without having to sign in again. This function can be disabled by selecting “sign out”, which deletes the Cookie; the next time the user accesses the service, they must sign in to be identified.
- To check whether the user is authorised to access certain services, for example to enter a competition.
Analytics cookies: Each time a User visits a service, a tool provided by an external supplier generates an analytics Cookie on the user’s computer. This Cookie, generated only during the visit, is used on subsequent visits to the Website’s Services to identify the visitor anonymously. Its main purposes are:
- To allow anonymous identification of browsing users through the “Cookie” (which identifies browsers and devices, not people), providing an approximate count of visitors and trends over time.
- To identify anonymously the most visited content and therefore the content most attractive to users.
- To determine whether the user is visiting for the first time or returning.
- Important: Unless the user decides to register for a Website service, the “Cookie” will never be associated with personal data that could identify them. These Cookies are used only for statistical purposes to help optimise the user experience on the Website.
Behavioural advertising cookies: This type of “Cookies” expands the information available about the advertisements shown to each anonymous user in the Website’s Services. It may store, among other things, the duration or frequency of advertising displays, interactions with them, and browsing and/or behavioural patterns, helping to build an advertising interest profile. This makes it possible to offer advertising suited to the user’s interests.
Third-party advertising cookies: In addition to advertising managed by the Website within its Services, the Website offers advertisers the option of serving advertisements through third parties (“AdServers”). These third parties may store Cookies sent from the Website’s Services via Users’ browsers and access the data stored in them.

3. Which cookies do we use?

First-party: These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the website publisher, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third-party: These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed not by the publisher but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

4. How can cookies be disabled?

It is usually possible to stop accepting Cookies from your browser, or from a particular Service.

All modern browsers allow you to change Cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “options” or “preferences” section of your browser’s menu.
