COOKIE POLICY

Welcome to the COOKIE POLICY from the organisation's website AL ALBA INTERIOR DESIGN, registered for VAT B53724175, where we will explain everything you need to know in clear, simple language so that you can take control of these matters based on your own personal decisions.

WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHAT DO WE USE THEM FOR?

A cookie is a small data file that is stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet every time you visit our website. In principle, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, Trojans, worms, etc. that could damage your device, but it does have a certain impact on your right to the protection of your personal data, as it collects specific information about you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.). That is why, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable regulations (the LSSI and current personal data protection regulations), the activation of certain types of cookies will require your prior consent. Before that, we will provide you with some additional information to help you make a more informed decision on the matter:

1. Cookies can be of various types depending on their purpose:

• Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function; they do not require your consent and are the only ones enabled by default.
• The other cookies are used to improve our website, to personalise it according to your preferences, or to show you adverts tailored to your searches, tastes and personal interests. You can accept all these cookies by clicking the button ACCEPT or configure them or opt out by clicking on the section COOKIE SETTINGS.

2. Some cookies are our own (we’ll refer to them as first-party cookies) and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will refer to them as third-party cookies: an example of this would be cookies from third-party providers such as Google). In this regard, it is important to note that some of these third-party providers may be based outside Spain.

Globally, not all countries have the same level of data protection, with some countries being safer than others (for example, the European Union is a safe environment for your data). Our policy is to use reliable providers who, regardless of whether or not they are based in the European Union, have put in place appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information. However, in the section entitled WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?, you can consult the various privacy and data protection policies of each of the aforementioned third-party providers, so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not to enable the third-party cookies that uses our website.

3. Finally, please note that, depending on how long they remain active, cookies can be of two types:

• Session cookies: They expire automatically when you log out of your computer, smartphone or tablet. They are usually used to store the information needed whilst providing a one-off service.
• Persistent cookies: are stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet for a specific period, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE ON OUR WEBSITE?

Technical cookies:

Technical cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function and for you to be able to browse it. These types of cookies are the ones that, for example, allow us to identify you, grant you access to certain restricted parts of the site if necessary, or remember different options or services you have already selected, such as your privacy preferences. Therefore, are enabled by default; your consent is not required. You can use your browser settings to block these types of cookies or receive a warning when they are present; however, blocking them will affect the proper functioning of various features on our website.

Analytics cookies:

Analytics cookies allow us to analyse how users navigate our website in general (for example, which sections of the site are most visited, which services are used most frequently and whether they are working correctly, etc.). Using statistical information about browsing on our website, we can improve both the website’s performance and the various services it offers. Therefore, these cookies are not intended for advertising purposes, but simply help our website to function more effectively by adapting to our users’ needs. By enabling them, you will be contributing to this ongoing improvement. You can enable or disable these cookies by ticking the relevant box, which are disabled by default.

Functionality and personalisation cookies:

Functionality cookies allow us to remember your preferences, so that we can tailor certain features and general settings on our website to your needs each time you visit (for example, the language in which information is displayed, your favourite sections, your browser type, etc.). Therefore, this type of cookie are not intended for advertising purposes, but by enabling them you will improve the website’s functionality (for example, by adapting it to your browser type) and personalise it according to your preferences (for example, by displaying information in the language you have previously selected), which will enhance the ease of use, usability and convenience of our website whilst you are browsing. You can enable or disable these cookies by ticking the relevant box, which are disabled by default.

Advertising cookies:

Advertising cookies enable us to manage the advertising space on our website based on criteria such as the content displayed or the frequency with which adverts are shown. For example, if you have been shown the same advert several times on our website and have not shown any personal interest by clicking on it, it will not appear again. In short, by enabling this type of cookie, the advertising displayed on our website will be more useful and varied, and less repetitive. You can enable or disable these cookies by ticking the relevant box, which are disabled by default.

Behavioural advertising cookies:

Behavioural advertising cookies allow us to gather information based on your browsing habits and behaviour on the website, so that we can show you adverts that are better tailored to your personal tastes and interests. To put it simply, here’s a hypothetical example: if your recent web searches were related to crime fiction, we would show you adverts for crime novels. Therefore, by enabling this type of cookie, the advertising we show you on our website will not be generic, but will be tailored to your searches, tastes and interests, and will therefore be tailored exclusively to you. You can enable or disable these cookies by ticking the relevant box, which are disabled by default.

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH COOKIES?

When you visit our website for the first time, a pop-up window will appear informing you that there are various types of cookies:

• Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function; they do not require your consent and are the only ones enabled by default.
• The other cookies are used to improve our website, to personalise it according to your preferences, or to show you adverts tailored to your searches, tastes and personal interests. You can accept all these cookies by clicking the button ACCEPT or configure them or opt out by clicking on the section COOKIE SETTINGS.

Please also note that, once you have enabled any type of cookies, you can disable them at any time simply by unchecking the relevant box in the section COOKIE SETTINGS on our website. It will always be just as easy for you to enable our first-party cookies as it is to disable them. We would also like to remind you that, via your browser settings, you can block cookies or be alerted to their presence; however, blocking them may affect the proper functioning of various features on our website in the case of necessary technical cookies. Finally, please note that if you enable third-party cookies (third-party companies that provide services for our website) and you subsequently wish to disable them, you can do so in two ways: by using your browser’s cookie disabling tools or via the systems provided by those third-party providers.
