What is a Cookie?

A Cookie is a small text file made up of letters and numbers that will be stored on the user’s computer, mobile terminal or other device from which the user accesses a web page. The Cookie is installed by a request made by a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome) and it is completely “passive” (i.e. it does not contain software, viruses or spyware and it cannot access information from the user’s hard drives).

Cookies are a central point of efficient Internet operation, helping generate a friendly browsing experience that is adapted to the preferences and interests of every user. If Cookies are deactivated, this may render certain website functionalities impossible to use.

Do Cookies contain personal data?

Certain Cookies on your terminal may collect data concerning the device you are using (e.g. MAC address, operating system being used) or data concerning your activity on the website. The data that are collected by Cookies are encrypted in a way that renders impossible the access of unauthorized persons to them.

What are Cookies used for?

bpv Legal uses Cookies in order to improve the navigation experience. To this end, Cookies render possible user’s terminal recognition and user preference storage, and facilitate the presentation of content in a relevant manner, which is adapted to user preferences.

Please note that, if the Cookies that are strictly necessary for website operation are blocked, this may render the website impossible to use.

You can delete the Cookies by accessing the corresponding settings in your web browser. In this case, your data will no longer be processed until your next access of our websites.

What Cookies do we use?

We use several types of Cookies, which may be classified in session Cookies or persistent Cookies, depending on their term of storage. Session Cookies are temporary files that remain in the user’s device until the session ends or the app (web browser) is closed, when they are permanently deleted. Persistent Cookies remain on the user’s terminal for a term that is defined by Cookie parameters or until they are deleted manually from the web browser.

A visit on our websites (www.bpv-legal.com) can place the following types of cookies on your terminal:

Cookie deletion

Generally, an app used to access web pages implicitly allows Cookie saving on the terminal. These settings can be changed in such a way that the automated management of cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed each time Cookies are sent to their terminal. Detailed information on the possibilities and manners of managing Cookies can be found in the settings area of the app (web browser) and they vary depending on the type of browser that is used.
