This Cookie Policy is an integral part of the Legal Notice and Privacy Policy of the Finestrat Town Hall website. Accessing and browsing the site, or using its services, implies acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions established in our Legal Notice (and therefore of the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy). Please read them carefully.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to the user’s device when visiting a website. Their main purpose is to recognize the user each time they access www.ayto-finestrat.es, and they also allow us to improve the quality and usability of our website.

Cookies are essential for the functioning of the Internet; they cannot harm the user’s computer/device and, if enabled in your browser settings, they help us to identify and resolve possible malfunctions of www.ayto-finestrat.es.

Types of Cookies

There are different types of cookies. They all work in the same way, but have slight differences:

  • Session Cookies . Session cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. Their main purpose is to identify the type of device, support website security, or its basic functionality. They do not contain personal information that would allow us to identify an individual.
  • Persistent or Permanent Cookies: These are stored on your device’s hard drive and are read by our website each time you visit www.ayto-finestrat.es. They have a specific expiration date, after which the cookie stops working. They allow us to identify your actions and preferences, analyze visits, and help us understand how users arrive at our site and improve our services.
  • Functionality Cookies: These allow www.ayto-finestrat.es to remember choices made by the user, such as their login or identifier. The information from these cookies is anonymized (i.e., it does not contain your name, address, or other personal data).
  • Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that enable proper navigation or allow payment for goods or services requested by the user, or cookies that ensure the website content loads efficiently. They are typically generated when the user accesses or logs into the website and are used to identify the user on the site for the following purposes:
    • Keep the user identified so that, if they leave the website, browser or device and later return to the website, they will remain identified, thus facilitating their navigation without having to identify themselves again.
    • Check if the user is authorized to access certain services or areas of the website.
  • Third-Party Cookies : Third-party cookies are cookies placed by a website other than the one you are visiting; for example, those used by social networks (such as Facebook) or external content plugins (such as Google Maps). Additionally, some advertising companies use these types of files to track your visits to each site where they advertise.
  • Analytical Cookies: These cookies are used for periodic maintenance and to ensure the best performance and service to the user; collecting data about your activity.
  • Performance cookies : These are used to improve the browsing experience and optimize the website’s performance, such as storing service settings or storing items in a shopping cart.
  • Advertising cookies : These cookies collect information about the ads shown to website users. They can be of two types:
  • Anonymous Cookies: These only collect information about the advertising spaces displayed on the website, regardless of the user accessing the website, that is, without expressly identifying them.
  • Personalized Cookies: These collect personal information from the website user by a third party, for the personalization of these advertising spaces.
  • Geo-location cookies : These cookies are used to find out what country or region the user is in when accessing a website service in order to offer content or services appropriate to their location.

Use of Cookies by www.ayto-finestrat.es

To recognize you and provide you with better service, our site uses its own cookies (small text files that your browser stores). Accepting our cookies saves you time.

By accessing www.ayto-finestrat.es, you expressly agree that we may use these types of cookies on your devices. If you disable cookies, your browsing experience on www.ayto-finestrat.es may not be optimal, and some of the website’s features may not function correctly.

No cookie allows anyone to contact you via your phone number, email address, or any other means. No cookie can extract information from your hard drive or steal personal information.
