COOKIE POLICY

Towards Stars SL, editor and owner of this website, has developed this policy to comply with the obligations established in the second section of art. 22 of Law (ES) 34/2002, of July 11, on information society services and electronic commerce (LSSICE), in relation to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of April 27, 2016, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Organic Law (ES) 3/2018, of December 5, on Data Protection and guarantee of digital rights (LOPDGDD), and informs you that this website uses cookies in order to offer you a browsing experience adapted to your needs and to optimize its performance.

Towards Stars SL makes a fully responsible use of these devices, and since we care about your privacy, we want to inform you about how we use them and the options you have as a user to manage them.

What are cookies?

Cookies and other similar technologies (local shared objects or flash cookies, web beacons or bugs, etc.), are data storage and retrieval devices that the service provider installs on the users’ terminal equipment to ensure the proper functioning of the site.

By using these devices, the Web server is allowed to remember some data concerning the user, such as their preferences for viewing the pages of that server, username and password, products of most interest, etc.

Towards Stars SL makes a fully responsible use of these devices, and since we care about your privacy, we want to inform you about how we use them and the options you have as a user to manage them.

This document is updated to the “Guide on the use of cookies” published by the AEPD in November 2019.

What are cookies?

Types of cookies:

a) According to the entity:

According to who is the entity that manages the equipment or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, we can distinguish:

Own cookies: those that 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 cookies: those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. In the event that cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).

b) According to their purpose:

There are many purposes for the use of cookies. According to the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies are processed, some of the purposes may be:

Technical cookies: those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist in it, including those that the editor uses to allow the management and operation of the website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing licenses for the software with which the service works (website, platform or application), using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of a text or image) or sharing content through social networks. Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are those cookies that allow the management, as efficiently as possible, of the advertising spaces that, as another element of design or “layout” of the service offered to the user, the editor has included on a website, application or platform based on criteria such as the edited content, without information being collected from users for different purposes, such as customizing that advertising content or other content.

Technical cookies will be exempt from compliance with the obligations established in article 22.2 of the LSSI when they allow the service requested by the user to be provided, as is the case with the cookies listed in the previous paragraphs. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (for example, for behavioral advertising purposes), they will be subject to said obligations.

Preference or customization cookies: those that allow the user to remember information so that they can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to show when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc. If it is the user who chooses these characteristics (for example, if they select the language of a website by clicking on the flag icon of the corresponding country), the cookies will be exempt from the obligations of article 22.2 of the LSSI as they are considered a service expressly requested by the user, provided that the cookies are exclusively for the selected purpose. Analysis or measurement cookies: those that allow the person responsible for them to track and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked, including quantifying the impacts of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by the users of the service. To use these cookies, the user’s consent must be requested. Behavioral advertising cookies: those that store information on the behavior of users obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it. To use these cookies, the user’s consent must be requested. c) According to the length of time they remain activated on the terminal equipment:

Session cookies: those designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to keep for the provision of the service requested by the user on one occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends. Persistent cookies: those in which the data is still stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years. Processing of personal data through cookies

Towards Stars SL is the Controller of the personal data of the Interested Party and informs them that this data will be processed in accordance with the current regulations on data protection. For more information, please visit our privacy policy.
