ASSEK EUROPE COMPAÑÍA DE SEGUROS Y REASEGUROS, S.A.U. may collect information about users’ browsing habits on the website through cookies or log files. Cookies will not be used to collect personal information. They will only be installed if the User remains on and continues browsing our website, which implies consent to their use and installation. Below, we provide detailed information on: what “cookies” are, the types used by this website, how to disable them in your browser, and how to specifically block the installation of third-party cookies.
1) WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files generated by the web pages that the User visits, which contain session data that may be useful later on the website. The data allow the website to retain information between pages and to analyze how users interact with the site.
Cookies are safe, as they can only store information placed there by the browser, information entered by the User in the browser, or information included in the page request. They cannot execute code and cannot be used to access the User’s device.
Cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the Internet, providing numerous advantages in the delivery of interactive services and facilitating website navigation and usability. Cookies cannot damage devices, and keeping them enabled helps identify and resolve errors.
Information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, pages viewed, time spent on the Website, and sites visited immediately before and after it. However, no cookie allows contact with the User’s phone number or any other personal contact method. No cookie can extract information from the User’s hard drive or steal personal information. The only way private information becomes part of a cookie file is if the user personally provides that information to the server.
Cookies that can identify a person are considered personal data and are therefore subject to the Privacy Policy described above. In this regard, their use requires the User’s consent. This consent will be communicated based on a genuine choice, provided through an affirmative and positive decision, prior to initial processing, and may be withdrawn and documented.
2) WHAT ARE SCRIPTS?
A script is a piece of program code used to ensure our website functions properly and interactively. This code runs on our server or on your device.
