Cookies Policy

On the website of the ASOCIACIÓN PROFESIONAL DE GUÍAS DE TURISMO DE TENERIFE, we inform you about the use of cookies on our webpage: www.apit-tenerife.org.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in the provision of many services in the information society. Among other things, they allow a web page to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or their device, and depending on the information obtained, can be used to recognize the user and improve the offered service.

TYPES OF COOKIES

According to who manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, cookies can be classified into two types:

  • First-party cookies: Those sent to the user’s device from a domain managed by the publisher and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: Those sent to the user’s device from a domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

In cases where cookies are installed from a domain managed by the publisher, but the information collected is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the period of time that they remain stored in the user’s browser:

  • Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only relevant for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of products purchased).
  • Persistent cookies: The data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with five types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data is processed:

  • Technical cookies: These allow the user to browse a web page, platform, or application and use the different options or services available, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in a shopping cart, completing a purchase, signing up for an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio broadcasting, or sharing content through social networks.
  • Customization cookies: These allow the user to access the service with certain predefined general characteristics based on a set of criteria on the user’s device, such as language, the type of browser used to access the service, or regional configuration.
  • Analytics cookies: These allow the entity responsible for them to monitor and analyze user behavior on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure website activity and create user browsing profiles to make improvements based on usage data analysis.
  • Advertising cookies: These allow the most efficient possible management of advertising spaces.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These store information on user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to show advertising based on that profile.
  • Social network cookies: These are used so that visitors can interact with content from different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). They are generated only for users of these social networks. The conditions of use of these cookies and the information collected are governed by the privacy policy of the respective social platform.
