1.- BACKGROUND

In accordance with Spanish regulations governing the use of cookies in connection with the provision of electronic communications services, as set out in Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 of 11 July on information society services and electronic commerce, we hereby inform you about the cookies used on the FORPADEL TRADING LLC, SL website and the reasons for their use.

2.- WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your device when you access certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their device. Depending on the information they contain and the way they use their device, they can be used to recognize the user. Cookies are only associated with an anonymous user and their computer or device.

3.- TYPES OF COOKIES

3.1.- According to the entity that manages them

1. First-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user's terminal from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
2. Third-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user's device from a computer or domain 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 using cookies. Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, some of these purposes may include:

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 that exist therein, including those that the editor uses to allow the management and operation of the website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purposes of billing for licenses of the software with which the service works (website, platform or application), using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image) or sharing content through social networks. Technical cookies will be exempt from compliance with the obligations established in article 22.2 of the LSSI when they allow the service requested by the user to be provided, as is the case with the cookies listed in the preceding paragraphs. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (e.g., for behavioral advertising purposes), they will be subject to these obligations.
2. Preference or customization cookies: These are cookies that allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to display 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 themselves chooses these characteristics (for example, if they select the language of a website by clicking on the icon of the flag 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.
3. Analysis or measurement cookies: These cookies allow the website owner to monitor and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure website, application, or platform activity in order to make improvements based on the analysis of user usage data.
4. Behavioral advertising cookies: These cookies store information about user behavior obtained through continuous monitoring of their browsing habits. This allows a specific profile to be developed to display advertising based on that profile.

3.3.- According to the period of time they remain activated

1. Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses 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 at the end of the session.
2. Persistent cookies: These are cookies in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie owner, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
