Cookies Policy

CODIGAMES, S.L. (hereinafter “CODIGAMES”) uses cookies or similar technologies on its website that store and retrieve information while you browse. In general, these technologies may serve various purposes, such as recognizing you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits, or personalizing the display of content. The specific uses that we make of these technologies are described below.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are files that may be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in providing numerous services in the information society. Among other functions, they enable a website to store and retrieve information about a user’s or device’s browsing habits, and depending on the information obtained, they may be used to recognize the user and enhance the service offered.

Accessing this website may involve the use of cookies as automatic methods for collecting information regarding the preferences set by the User during their visit, in order to recognize them as a User and personalize their experience and use of the website. Cookies may also, for example, help identify and resolve errors.

The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, the duration spent on the site, and the websites visited immediately before and after. However, no cookie allows it to be associated with the User’s telephone number or any other personal contact means. No cookie can extract data from the User’s hard drive or steal personal information. The only way that a User’s private information becomes part of a Cookie file is if the user personally provides such information to the server.

Cookies that allow the identification of a person are considered personal data and, therefore, are subject to CODIGAMES’ Privacy Policy. In this regard, using these cookies requires the User’s consent. Such consent must be communicated on the basis of a genuine choice, offered through an affirmative, positive decision, given prior to initial processing, and it must be removable and documented.

1.1. Types of Cookies

Depending on the entity managing the domain from which the cookies are sent and processing the obtained data, two types can be distinguished:

• Own Cookies: Those that are sent to the User’s terminal device from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided.

• Third-Party Cookies: Those that are sent to the User’s terminal device from a device or domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

In cases where the cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the publisher but the information collected is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as Own Cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the length of time they remain stored in the client’s browser:

• Session Cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are typically used to store information that is only relevant for providing the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).

• Persistent Cookies: The data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the cookie controller, ranging from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, cookies can be classified according to the purpose for which the collected data is processed:

• Technical Cookies: Those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and to use the different options or services available therein, such as controlling data traffic and communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the elements of an order, processing a purchase, registering or participating in an event, using security features during browsing, storing content for video or audio streaming, or sharing content via social networks.

• Personalization Cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on criteria on the User’s device, such as language, type of browser used, regional settings, etc.

• Analytical Cookies: These allow the controller to monitor and analyze the behavior of users of the websites with which they are associated. The information gathered through these cookies is used to measure website, application, or platform activity and to create navigation profiles of the users, with the aim of introducing improvements based on the analysis of usage data.

• Advertising Cookies: These enable the most effective management of advertising spaces.

• Behavioral Advertising Cookies: These store information on user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing for the creation of a specific profile to display advertising accordingly.

• Third-Party Social Networking Cookies: These are used so that visitors can interact with the content of various social platforms (e.g., Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn) and are generated solely for users of those social networks. The terms of use for these cookies and the information collected are regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.

1.2. Declaration of Cookies Used by CODIGAMES

CODIGAMES uses analytical cookies to quantify the number of users and to perform statistical measurement and analysis of the usage of the provided service. To this end, the navigation on our website is analyzed with the aim of improving the range of products or services we offer.

Accordingly, the cookies used by CODIGAMES are technical, analytical, and advertising cookies. Under the EU directive, cookies that require informed consent from the user are the analytical cookies and those used for advertising and affiliation. This requirement does not apply to technical cookies or those necessary for the proper functioning of the website or the provision of services explicitly requested by the user.

1.3. Cookies Used by Third Parties

The identification of who uses the cookies, the type of cookies employed, and other details are provided below:

Note: “Own” cookies are used solely by the owner of this website, while “Third-Party” cookies are also used by the service provider detailed in the table above.
