2. What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in the user's browser when the user visits the site. Cookies allow the website to remember information about the user's visit, such as their preferred language, the location from which they are accessing and other configuration options, thus facilitating navigation on future visits and making the site more useful and personalized. Cookies are essential for the functioning of the Internet and cannot damage the user's equipment. By themselves, cookies do not request personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. There are different types of cookies depending on their ownership, permanence, purpose and scope of application. Cookies can be session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the user closes the browser, or persistent, which remain stored on the user's device for a certain period. Likewise, cookies may be our own, managed directly by the person responsible for the website, or third parties, managed by external entities with which the website has a contractual relationship for the provision of certain services.
3. Types of Cookies Used
On the website of MICHELS DE CHAMPOURCIN GALERÍA S.L. We use different types of cookies classified according to their purpose. Firstly, we use technical or necessary cookies, which are those essential for the correct functioning of the website and that allow navigation and use of the different options or services offered, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order or carrying out the purchase process of a product or service. These cookies cannot be deactivated since they are essential for the provision of the service requested by the user. Secondly, we use preference or personalization cookies, which allow us to remember information so that the user accesses the website with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the language, the number of results to be displayed when the user performs a search or the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser or region from which the user accesses. Thirdly, we use analysis or measurement cookies, which are those that, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the website, analyzing their navigation in order to improve the offer of products or services that we offer. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website, providing us with information about the pages visited, length of stay, traffic sources and whether navigation errors have occurred. Finally, we can use behavioral advertising or marketing cookies, which store information on user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows us to develop a specific profile to show personalized advertising based on it. These cookies are managed by third-party advertising service providers with whom we collaborate.
4. Specific Cookies Used on Our Website
Below we detail the specific cookies that may be used on our website. Firstly, we use our own session cookies necessary for the basic functioning of the website, such as session identification cookies that allow us to keep the user's session active while browsing the site, with a duration limited to the duration of the browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when the user closes their browser. We also use Google Analytics cookies, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., whose headquarters are at 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, United States. Google Analytics uses cookies to help the website analyze how users use it. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website, including your IP address, will be transmitted to and stored by Google on its servers. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of tracking website usage, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services related to website activity and internet usage. The Google Analytics cookies used include session cookies and persistent cookies with different durations, from closing the browser to twenty-four months, depending on the specific type of cookie.

Additionally, we may use cookies from social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn when the user decides to share content from the website through these platforms. These cookies are managed directly by the respective social networks and their use is subject to the privacy policies of each of them. Finally, we may use cookies from third-party advertising services, such as Google AdWords, Facebook Ads or similar, which allow us to track conversions and show personalized ads to users who have previously visited our website. These cookies have variable durations, generally between ninety days and two years.
5. Purpose of the Use of Cookies
The cookies used on our website have various purposes that help improve the user experience and optimize its operation. The purpose of technical or necessary cookies is to allow access and navigation through the website, as well as to use the different options or services that exist on it, including traffic management and data communication, identification of the user session, access to restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order or form, carrying out the purchase or reservation process, applying security measures during navigation and storing content for the broadcast of videos or sound. Preference cookies are intended to remember the options chosen by the user in their previous browsing, such as the language selected, the region from which they access, the type of browser used, the preferred display settings or any other personalization option that the user has established, thus allowing the website to automatically adapt to the user's preferences on future visits. The purpose of analysis cookies is to collect statistical information about the use of the website, such as the number of visitors, the most visited pages, the time spent on each page, traffic sources, search terms used to find the website, browsing patterns, information on errors encountered during navigation and other similar data that allows us to understand how users interact with our website in order to improve its design, functionality and content. The purpose of advertising cookies is to manage the offer of advertising space on the website, adapt the content of the ads to the content of the requested service or the use of the website by the user, control the frequency of display of the ads, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and store information on the user's browsing behavior to develop a specific profile and display personalized advertising based on said profile.
6. Legitimacy for the Use of Cookies
The legal basis that legitimizes the use of cookies on our website varies depending on the type of cookie. For technical or strictly necessary cookies, the legal basis is the execution of the service requested by the user, since these cookies are essential for the provision of the navigation service and use of the website's functionalities. These cookies do not require the user's prior consent as established in article 22.2 of the LSSI-CE, as they are strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service expressly requested by the user. For the rest of the cookies, that is, preferences, analysis and advertising cookies, the legal basis is the user's consent, which must be free, specific, informed and unambiguous, and which can be provided by accepting the browser's default settings or by actively configuring your preferences through the cookie configuration panel that we offer on our website. The consent given can be withdrawn at any time by the user, without affecting the legality of the treatment based on the consent prior to its withdrawal. Withdrawal of consent can be done through the browser settings or through the cookie settings panel available on our website.
7. Duration of Cookies
The cookies used on our website have different retention periods depending on their purpose and type. Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the browser's cookie file until the user leaves the website or closes the browser, at which time they are automatically deleted. These cookies do not store personal information and their purpose is mainly technical, allowing navigation through the website during the active session. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain stored on the user's device for a specific period of time, which can vary from a few hours to several years, depending on the purpose of the cookie and its specific configuration. Preference cookies usually last between one month and two years, allowing the options selected by the user to be remembered on subsequent visits. Analysis cookies, such as those from Google Analytics, have variable durations that can range from closing the browser to twenty-four months, with most having a duration of two years. Advertising and marketing cookies usually last between ninety days and two years, a period during which information about the user's browsing habits is collected to display personalized advertising. Once the retention period established for each cookie has expired, it is automatically deleted from the user's device.
8. Who Accesses Cookie Information?
The information collected through cookies can be accessed by MICHELS DE CHAMPOURCIN GALERÍA S.L. in the case of own cookies, or by third-party service providers in the case of third-party cookies. In particular, Google Inc. has access to the information collected by Google Analytics, using it exclusively for the purposes described in its privacy policy and terms of use. Google Analytics anonymizes users' IP addresses using the IP masking method, which means that Google does not store the user's full IP address. Advertising and digital marketing service providers, such as Google AdWords, Facebook Ads or similar, also have access to the information collected by their respective cookies, using it for the advertising purposes described in their privacy policies. Social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn have access to the information collected by their cookies when the user interacts with social content on our website or when they share content from our site on these platforms. All these third parties act as independent data controllers, being responsible for complying with applicable data protection regulations. MICHELS DE CHAMPOURCIN GALERÍA S.L. does not control and is not responsible for third-party cookies or their use of the information collected, and the privacy policies of each third party are applicable. We recommend that users consult the privacy policies of these third parties for detailed information about their use of cookies and the data collected.
9. How to Manage Cookies
The user can allow, block or delete cookies installed on their device by configuring their Internet browser options. If the user does not allow the installation of cookies in their browser, they may not be able to access some of the website's functionalities or their browsing experience may be limited. Below we provide links to instructions for managing cookies in the most used browsers. For Google Chrome, you can access cookie settings through Settings, Privacy and security, Cookies and other site data, or see full instructions at https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647. For Mozilla Firefox, you can manage cookies through Options, Privacy and security, Cookies and site data, or consult the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/es/kb/habilitar-y-deshabilitar-cookies-sitios-web-rastrear-preferences. For Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge, you can configure cookies through Tools, Internet Options, Privacy, Settings, or consult more information at https://support.microsoft.com/es-es/windows/eliminar-y-administrar-cookies. For Safari, you can manage cookies through Preferences, Privacy, Cookies and Website Data, or see the instructions at https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac. For Opera, you can configure cookies through Settings, Privacy and security, Cookies and other site data, or consult more information at https://help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/. In addition to the browser settings, the user can manage their cookie preferences directly on our website through the cookie settings panel that appears on the first visit or that can be accessed at any time through the corresponding link available in the footer of the website.
10. Disabling Third Party Cookies
In addition to managing cookies through browser settings, the user can specifically disable cookies from certain third parties by directly accessing the opt-out tools provided by them. To disable Google Analytics cookies, the user can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This plugin prevents information about the visit from being sent to Google Analytics. To manage preferences regarding personalized advertising by Google, the user can access Google's ad settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. To disable Facebook advertising cookies, the user can access their ad settings at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences. For Twitter, you can manage your personalization preferences at https://twitter.com/settings/personalization. For LinkedIn, you can set your advertising preferences at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out. Likewise, there are third-party tools that allow you to manage advertising cookies from multiple providers simultaneously, such as Your Online Choices (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/es/) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (http://optout.aboutads.info/). These platforms allow users to see which companies have cookies installed on their device and disable those they do not want. It is important to keep in mind that deactivating advertising cookies does not prevent the user from seeing advertisements, but rather these will no longer be personalized according to their interests and browsing habits.
11. Consequences of Deactivating Cookies
Disabling certain cookies may have consequences on the user's functionality and browsing experience on our website. If the user deactivates technical or necessary cookies, they will not be able to access certain functionalities of the website, such as maintaining the session logged in, remembering the products added to the shopping cart if they have an online store, or accessing restricted areas of the website. Without these cookies, some services requested by the user cannot be provided properly. If preference cookies are deactivated, the website will not remember the user's personalized options, such as preferred language, region or display preferences, so the user will have to re-establish these options on each visit. If analysis cookies are deactivated, the website will not be able to collect statistical information about its use, which will prevent MICHELS DE CHAMPOURCIN GALERÍA S.L. knowing which pages are most visited, how long users stay on the site or what aspects of navigation present problems, thus limiting the ability to improve the website based on the real behavior of users. If advertising cookies are deactivated, the user will continue to see advertisements on the website or on other sites they visit, but these will not be personalized based on their interests and browsing habits, and may be less relevant to the user. In any case, deactivating cookies does not prevent access to the main content of the website, although it may affect the quality of the browsing experience.
12. Cookies on Mobile Devices
When the user accesses our website from mobile devices, tablets or mobile applications, cookies and similar technologies are also used. The operation and purpose of these cookies is the same as that described for access from desktop computers. Cookie management on mobile devices varies depending on the browser used. The most common mobile browsers, such as Safari for iOS, Chrome for Android, Firefox for mobile, and Edge for mobile, offer similar cookie setting options to their desktop versions. To access cookie settings in Safari for iOS, the user must go to Settings, Safari, Block all cookies. For Chrome on Android, you need to go to Settings, Website Settings, Cookies. In Firefox for mobile, you can set cookies in Menu, Settings, Privacy, Cookies. In addition to traditional cookies, other unique device identifiers provided by mobile operating systems may also be used on mobile devices, such as the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA) on iOS or the Google Advertising Identifier (GAID) on Android, which perform similar functions to advertising cookies in terms of ad personalization. Users can manage these identifiers through the privacy settings of their mobile devices, limiting advertising tracking or resetting the advertising identifier.
13. Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, our website may use other similar tracking technologies to collect information about site usage and improve user experience. These technologies include web beacons or tracking pixels, which are small invisible graphic images embedded in a web page or in an email that allow us to verify whether the user has visited a specific page or opened an email. Web beacons are often used in combination with cookies to track user activity and generate statistics about website usage. We may also use HTML5 local storage, which allows information to be stored in the user's browser in a similar way to cookies but with greater storage capacity and persistence. HTML5 local storage is used to store user preferences, improve website performance, and provide advanced functionality. Additionally, we may use tracking scripts and tags that collect information about the user's interaction with the website, such as clicks made, mouse movements, time spent on each page or the elements with which the user interacts. These technologies are used for the same purposes as cookies and are subject to the same principles of transparency, information and consent established in this Cookies Policy and in the applicable regulations on data protection and privacy.
14. International Data Transfers
Some of the service providers that manage third-party cookies on our website have their servers located in countries outside the European Economic Area, which may involve international transfers of personal data.
