What are cookies?
Cookies are a set of data that a server deposits in the user's browser to collect standard Internet registration information and information on the behavior of visitors to a website. In other words, they are small text files that are stored on the computer's hard drive and serve to identify the user when they connect to the website again. Their purpose is to record the user's visit and save certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the web as it allows pages to function more efficiently and achieve greater personalization and analysis of user behavior.
What types of cookies exist?
The cookies used on our website are session and third-party cookies, and allow us to store and access information regarding the language, the type of browser used, and other general characteristics predefined by the user, as well as to monitor and analyse the activity carried out, in order to introduce improvements and provide our services in a more efficient and personalised manner.
Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. Those that expire when the user closes the browser. Those that expire depending on when the purpose for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified in Marcos Abad services) or when they are manually deleted.

Additionally, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
Performance 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. Video streaming speeds that are compatible with your browser. Items saved in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services such as stores.
Geo-location cookies
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
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:
Keep the user identified so that, if he/she closes a service, the browser or the computer and at another time or day he/she enters said service again, he/she will continue to be identified, thus facilitating his/her navigation without having to identify himself/herself again. This functionality can be suppressed if the user clicks on the [log out] function, so that this cookie is deleted and the next time he/she enters the service the user will have to log in to be identified.
Check whether the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.
Additionally, some services may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers with a service using social network credentials, he or she authorizes the social network to store a persistent Cookie that remembers his or her identity and grants him or her access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this Cookie and revoke access to the services through social networks by updating his or her preferences on the social network he or she specifies.
Analytics 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 generated during the visit, will be used in future visits to Marcos Abad's 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 Marcos Abad service, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify the user. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help to optimize the user experience on the site.
Advertising cookies
These types of cookies allow for more information on the advertisements shown to each anonymous user on Marcos Abad's services. Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of display of advertising positions, the interaction with them, or the browsing patterns and/or user behaviors, 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.
Third-party advertising cookies
In addition to the advertising managed by Marcos Abad websites in its services, Marcos Abad websites offer their advertisers the option of serving ads through third parties ("Ad-Servers"). In this way, these third parties can store cookies sent from Marcos Abad services from users' browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, Marcos Abad websites use the Doubleclick (Google) platform to manage these services. For more information, go to
