Through this Policy (hereinafter, the “Cookie Policy”), the cookie policy of the Web Platform https://atdevices.com/ (hereinafter, “the Platform”) is regulated, owned by Advanced Thermal Devices S.L. (the Promoter, hereinafter), with a contact email address for the purposes of this cookie policy at: info@atdevices.com.
As established in Recital 30 of the GDPR, natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools, and protocols, such as Internet Protocol addresses, session identifiers in the form of «cookies,» or other identifiers, such as radio frequency identification tags. This can leave traces that, in particular, when combined with unique identifiers and other data received by servers, can be used to create profiles of individuals and identify them. For this reason, the Promoter has a cookie policy consistent with the applicable regulations.
Applicable Regulations
Article 22 of Law 34/2002, of July 11, on information society services and electronic commerce (LSSICE), regarding the rights of recipients in commercial communications by electronic means, states that service providers may only use storage and data retrieval devices on recipients’ terminal equipment when they have given their prior informed consent.
To this end, clear and complete information must be provided to these recipients and end users about their use, particularly regarding the purposes of data processing, in accordance with personal data protection regulations. Therefore, when technically possible and effective, the recipient’s consent to accept the processing of data may be obtained through the appropriate settings of the browser or other applications.
This does not prevent the possible storage or technical access solely for the purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network or, to the extent strictly necessary, for providing a service of the information society expressly requested by the recipient.
User Consent and Cookies: General Rule and Exception
In general, when the installation and/or use of cookies involves the processing of personal data, whether they are first-party or third-party cookies, session or persistent, the Promoter, as the data controller, will provide the necessary information in this area and will obtain the prior informed consent of the user to install and/or use them.
Only those that exclusively allow communication between the user’s equipment and the network, and strictly those used to provide a service requested by the user, are exempt from such consent. For example, the so-called «technical cookies» (e.g., those necessary for browsing the platform or application); «personalization or configuration cookies» (e.g., that allow the page to recognize the user’s language, etc.); and «security cookies» (e.g., detect incorrect and repeated attempts to connect to a site) would be exempt.
Are Cookies Used on the Platform? What Are They?
Cookies are used on the Platform, meaning files or devices that are downloaded to the user’s terminal equipment (personal computer, smartphone, tablet, terminals, and mobile devices, etc.), regardless of their nature, primarily to ensure the proper functioning of the Platform (remembering the selected language, and similar functions). Thus, in general, and without prejudice to what is stated below, cookies will allow navigation through the Platform, as well as certain utilities and services provided therein, so you are warned that disabling or blocking them may affect navigation or the correct or extensive use of it by the user.
What Cookies Do We Use on the Platform?
Cookies may be first-party or third-party. First-party cookies are those sent or served to the user’s terminal equipment from the Platform (editor) and are managed by it, while third-party cookies are those sent or served to the user’s terminal equipment from other domains or equipment not managed by the Platform (editor), but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
Likewise, the aforementioned cookies can be session or persistent. The former are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data while the user accesses the Platform with the primary purpose of storing information that is only relevant to retain for the provision of the service requested by the user on a one-time basis. However, with the latter, the data remains stored on the user’s terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller.
Cookies can also be technical, allowing the user to navigate through the Platform and use the different options or services available through it, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up a contractual request, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound broadcasting, or sharing content through social networks.
They can also be personalization cookies, referring to those that allow the user to access the service with some predefined characteristics based on certain criteria associated with their own terminal, for example, the type of browser through which they access the service, the regional configuration from which they access the service, etc.
Similarly, they can have a statistical or informational purpose for the editor regarding the particular use that users make of their Platform and the content or services provided through it.
