Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy aims to clearly and precisely inform you about the cookies used on the website sotcw.net.

What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of text sent by the websites you visit to your browser, which allows the website to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language and other options. This is done to facilitate your next visit and make the site more useful to you. Cookies play a very important role and contribute to a better Browse experience for the user.

Types of Cookies

Based on the entity that manages the domain from which cookies are sent and the data obtained is processed, two types can be distinguished: first-party cookies and third-party cookies.

There is also a second classification based on the period of time they remain stored in the client’s browser, which can be session cookies or persistent cookies.

Finally, there is another classification with five types of cookies based on the purpose for which the data obtained is processed: technical cookies, personalization cookies, analysis cookies, advertising cookies, and behavioral advertising cookies.

For more information on this, you can consult the Guide on the use of cookies from the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos).

Cookies Used on This Website

Below, the cookies currently being used on this portal are identified, along with their type and function:

The sotcw.net website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service developed by Google, which allows the measurement and analysis of navigation on web pages. You may observe cookies from this service in your browser. According to the above classification, these are first-party, session, and analysis cookies.

Through web analytics, information is obtained related to the number of users accessing the website, the number of pages viewed, the frequency and repetition of visits, their duration, the browser used, the operator providing the service, the language, the terminal used, and the city to which your IP address is assigned. This information enables this portal to provide a better and more appropriate service.

To ensure anonymity, Google will anonymize your information by truncating the IP address before storing it, so Google Analytics is not used to locate or collect personally identifiable information from site visitors. Google may only send information collected by Google Analytics to third parties when legally obliged to do so. Under the Google Analytics Terms of Service, Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

Another type of cookie downloaded is a technical cookie called JSESSIONID. This cookie allows a unique identifier to be stored per session, through which it is possible to link data necessary to enable ongoing navigation.

Finally, a first-party, technical, and session cookie called show_cookies is downloaded. This cookie manages the user’s consent for the use of cookies on the website, with the purpose of remembering users who have accepted them and those who have not, so that the former are not shown information at the top of the page regarding this.
