Cookies Policy
1. What are cookies?
The Bideroad Website (hereinafter the Website) uses Cookies. Cookies are files sent to a browser by a web server to record the User’s activities on a specific website. The primary purpose of Cookies is to provide the user with faster access to selected services. Additionally, Cookies personalize the services offered by the Website, facilitating and providing each user with information that is or may be of interest to them, based on their use of the Services.
The Website uses Cookies to personalize and optimize user navigation as much as possible. Cookies are only associated with an anonymous user and their computer and do not provide references that allow the deduction of personal data of the user. The user can configure their browser to notify and reject the installation of Cookies sent by the Website, without affecting the user’s ability to access the content of said website. However, please note that, in any case, the quality of the Website’s functionality may decrease.
Registered users, those who register or have logged in, may benefit from more personalized services tailored to their profile, thanks to the combination of data stored in cookies with the personal data used at the time of registration. These users expressly authorize the use of this information for the indicated purpose, without prejudice to their right to reject or disable the use of cookies.
2. What types of cookies exist?
Cookies, based on their Duration, can be divided into:
- Session cookies: These expire when the user closes the browser.
- Persistent cookies: These expire depending on when the purpose they serve is fulfilled (for example, to keep the user logged into the Services) or when they are manually deleted.
Based on their Owner, they can be divided into:
- First-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user's terminal device from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: These are cookies 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.
Additionally, based on their Purpose, Cookies can be classified as follows:
- Performance cookies: This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools available in the services, so you don't have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. Examples included in this category are:
- Volume settings of video or sound players.
- Video streaming speeds that are compatible with your browser.
- Geo-location cookies: These cookies are used to determine which country you are in when requesting a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor content to your location.
- Registration cookies: Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify you in the services with the following purposes:
- Keep the user identified so that if they close a service, the browser, or the computer, and later on another time or day access the service again, they will remain identified, thus facilitating navigation without having to log in again. This functionality can be disabled if the user clicks the "log out" function, which deletes this cookie and next time the user enters the service, they will have to log in to be identified.
- Verify whether the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.
- Analytical Cookies: Each time a User visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical Cookie on the user’s computer. This Cookie, which is only created during the visit, will be used on future visits to the Web Services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
- Allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the “Cookie” (which identifies browsers and devices, not individuals), and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
- Anonymously identify the most visited and therefore most attractive content for users.
- Determine whether the user accessing the site is new or returning.
- Inportant: Unless the user chooses to register for a service on the website, the “Cookie” will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These Cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimize the User experience on the site.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: This type of “Cookie” makes it possible to expand the information about the ads shown to each anonymous user on the Web Services. Among other things, it stores the duration or frequency of ad display, user interaction with them, and browsing and/or user behavior patterns, as they help build a profile of advertising interests. In this way, they make it possible to offer advertising aligned with the user’s interests.
- Third-party advertising cookies: In addition to the advertising managed directly by the Website through its Services, the Website offers its advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties (“AdServers”). In this way, these third parties may store Cookies sent from the Website’s Services through Users’ browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.
