1. What are cookies?

The Sincrolab S.L website www.sincrolab.es uses Cookies. Cookies are files sent to a browser by a web server to record the User’s activities on a specific website. The primary purpose of Cookies is to provide the user with quicker access to selected services. In addition, Cookies personalize the services offered by the Website, providing each user with information that is of interest or may be of interest based on their use of the Services. The Website uses Cookies to personalize and optimize the user’s browsing experience. Cookies are associated only with an anonymous user and their computer and do not provide references that allow for the deduction of personal data of the user. The user can configure their browser to notify and reject the installation of Cookies sent by the Website, without affecting the user’s ability to access the content of said website. However, please note that, in any case, the quality of the Website’s performance may decrease. Registered users, those who sign up or have logged in, can benefit from more personalized services tailored to their profile, thanks to the combination of data stored in the cookies with personal data used at the time of registration. Such users expressly authorize the use of this information for the indicated purpose, without prejudice to their right to reject or disable the use of cookies. The Website may also be aware of all the services requested by users, so they can provide or offer information appropriate to each user’s tastes and preferences.

2. What types of cookies exist?

Cookies, based on their Permanence, can be divided into:

• Session cookies: These expire when the user closes the browser.
• Persistent cookies: These expire depending on when their purpose is fulfilled (for example, to keep the user identified in the Services) or when they are manually deleted.

Additionally, based on their Purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:

• Performance cookies: This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools available in the services, so you don’t have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. For example, these include:
  • • Volume settings for video or sound players.
    • Video transmission speeds compatible with your browser.

• Geolocation cookies: These Cookies are used to find out which country you are in when a service is requested. This Cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor 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 with the following objectives:
  • • Keep the user identified so that if they close a service, the browser, or the computer and at another time or day re-enter that service, they will remain identified, thus facilitating their browsing without having to identify themselves again. This functionality can be disabled if the user clicks the “log out” feature, so this Cookie is deleted and the next time they enter the service, the user will need to log in to be identified.
    • Check if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.

• Analytical 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 on future visits to the Website’s Services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
  • Allow the 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 trends over time.
  • Identify anonymously the most visited content and therefore the most attractive to users.
  • Know if the user accessing is new or a repeat visitor.
  • Important: Unless the user decides to register for a service on the Website, the “Cookie” will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These Cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help optimize the Users’ experience on the site.
• Behavioral advertising cookies: This type of “Cookie” allows you to expand the information of the ads shown to each anonymous user on the Website. Among other things, it stores the duration or frequency of viewing advertising positions, the interaction with them, or the user’s navigation patterns and/or behaviors as they help to create an advertising profile. In this way, they allow advertising to be tailored to the user’s interests.
• Third-party advertising cookies: In addition to the advertising managed by the Website on its Services, the Website offers its advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties (“AdServers”). In this way, these third parties can store Cookies sent from the Website’s Services from the Users’ browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.

3. What cookies do we use?

First-party: These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided. Third-party: These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain not managed by the editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

4. How to disable cookies?
