COOKIE POLICY

1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files generated on the user’s computer that allow us to know the frequency of their visits, the most selected contents, and the security elements that may intervene in controlling access to restricted areas, as well as the display of advertising based on criteria predefined by TERA BATTERIES RECYCLING, S.L. and activated by cookies served by said entity or by third parties rendering these services on behalf of TERA BATTERIES RECYCLING, S.L..
As a general rule, the following types of cookies exist.
Depending on the entity managing the domain from which cookies are sent and processing the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

· First-party cookies: those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from equipment or a domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

· Third-party cookies: those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from equipment or a domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies.
If cookies are installed from equipment or a domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.
There is also a second classification according to the period of time they remain stored in the client’s browser, which can be:

· Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a webpage. They are typically used to store information that only needs to be kept for providing the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of purchased products).

· Persistent cookies: data remain stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies depending on the purpose for which the data obtained are processed:

· Technical Cookies: Technical or necessary cookies are essential for our website to function properly and include basic functionalities such as identifying the session or granting registered users access to restricted areas. For these reasons, technical cookies cannot be disabled.

· Preference Cookies: By using preference cookies, the website can remember information during your browsing time associated with the way the page behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or the region you are in.

· Statistical Cookies: We use statistical cookies to see how you interact with the website, gathering anonymous information while you browse it. The purpose of collecting this information is to make improvements to the website based on the analysis of aggregated data.

· Marketing/Advertising Cookies: They allow us to manage the advertising spaces included on our website, application, or platform based on criteria such as the content shown or the frequency with which ads are displayed.

· Marketing Cookies: Marketing cookies are used to analyze your behavior while visiting the website so that, from time to time, other providers can offer you personalized and relevant advertising based on your browsing profile.

· External Social Media Cookies: they are used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (facebook, youtube, twitter, linkedin, etc.) and are generated solely for users of said social networks. The conditions of use for these cookies and the information collected are regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
