Cookie Policy

1.     What are cookies?

The website owned and operated by Bioscience Cosmetics, S.L. (hereinafter “the website” or the “website”) uses cookies and/or similar technologies that store and retrieve information when you browse. In general, these technologies can serve very diverse purposes, such as, for example, recognizing you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits, or personalizing the way in which the content is displayed.

The user can configure their browser to notify and reject the installation of cookies sent by the website, without affecting the possibility of accessing the content of said website, but the quality of operation of the website may decrease. The specific uses we make of these technologies are described below.

2.       What types of cookies exist?

Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into:

Own cookies

These are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies These are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

Technical Cookies

These are those 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, identifying the session or controlling traffic and data communication.

Preference or personalization cookies

This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. As an example, this type includes:

- Volume settings for video or sound players.
- The video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser

These Cookies are used to find out which country you are in when you request a service. This Cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help target content to your location.

Registration Cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently opened their session, and are used to identify them in the services for the following purposes:

- To keep the user identified if he or she closes a service, the browser or the computer and at another time or day re-enters said service, he or she will continue to be identified, thus facilitating navigation without having to identify himself or herself again. This functionality can be suppressed if the user clicks on the “close session” function, so that this Cookie is deleted and the next time he or she enters the service the user will have to log in to be identified.

-To check whether the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.

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 generated during the visit, will be used in future visits to the Web Services to anonymously identify the visitor.

The main objectives pursued are:

- Allow anonymous identification of browsing users through the “Cookie” (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
‍
- Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore the most attractive for users.
‍
- Know if the user who is accessing is new or a repeat visitor.
‍
- Important: Unless the user decides to register for a Web service, the "Cookie" will never be associated with any personal data that can identify him/her. These Cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help to optimize the Users' experience on the site.

This type of “Cookies” allows for the expansion of information about advertisements shown to each anonymous user on the Web Services. Among other things, the duration or frequency of display of advertising positions, interaction with them, or the browsing patterns and/or user behavior are stored, as they help to create an advertising interest profile. In this way, they allow advertising to be offered that is in line with the user's interests.

In addition to the advertising managed by the Website in its Services, the Website offers its advertisers the option of serving advertisements through third parties ("AdServers"). In this way, these third parties can store Cookies sent from the Website Services from the Users' browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.
