3.1. What are Cookies for?

Cookies serve to improve the user experience, both in terms of performance and usability, since the content provided will be directed to the user’s needs and expectations.

Cookies allow our Digital Platforms to memorize information about the user’s visit, their preferred language, their location, the recurrence of their sessions and other variables that Algar Tech considers relevant to make the user experience much more efficient. Cookies may also be used to compile anonymous and aggregated information that allows us to understand how users use and interact with our Digital Platforms, as well as to improve their structure and content. As this is anonymous information, we cannot personally identify you through this data.

The use of cookies is commonplace on any digital platform today. Their use in no way harms the devices (computers, smartphones, tablets, etc.) on which they are stored.

• Persistent Cookies: These are Cookies that remain stored on the user’s device until they are deleted or until they reach their expiration date (the duration the Cookie stays on the device depends on the browser’s settings).

Cookies (Session or Persistent) can be categorized according to their function:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: allow navigation on the website and use of the applications, as well as access to secure areas of the website. Without these Cookies, the services required for the correct functioning of the platforms cannot be provided.
• Analytical or Performance Cookies: These collect anonymous statistical data in order to analyze the platform’s usage and its performance.
• Functionality Cookies: these are used to ensure that additional features of the platforms are made available or to save the preferences set by the user when using the platform, whenever they use the same device.
• Advertising Cookies: These are used to personalize ads, target remarketing, limit the number of impressions for each user, and measure the effectiveness of campaigns.
