Last update: May 07, 2020

What are they and what do we use them for?

This website, like most websites on the Internet, uses cookies to improve the user experience. Below you will find information about what cookies are, what kind of cookies this website uses, how you can disable cookies in your browser and how to specifically disable the installation of third-party cookies.

​

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that some platforms, such as web pages, can install on your computer, smartphone, tablet or connected television. Its functions can be very varied: store your browsing preferences, collect statistical information, allow certain technical features, and so on. Sometimes, cookies are used to store basic information about the browsing habits of the user or their team, to the extent, depending on the case, of being able to recognize it.

Why are they important?

Cookies are useful for several reasons. From a technical point of view, they allow web pages to work more agile and adapted to their preferences, such as storing their language or the currency of their country. In addition, help those responsible for websites to improve the services they offer, thanks to the statistical information they collect through them

Typology, Purpose and Functioning of Cookies

Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. The first expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire depending on when the objective for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified on the pages of www.biootech.com) or when they are manually deleted.

Additionally, depending on their objective, cookies can be classified as follows:

Performance Cookies: This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found on the pages, so you don't have to reconfigure it every time you visit it. As an example, this typology includes:

• Volume settings of video or sound players.

• The video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser.

Geolocation Cookies: These Cookies are used to find out what country you are in when you browse the web. This Cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help guide the content to your location.

Registration Cookies: Registration Cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently opened their session, and they are used to identify you on pages with the following objectives:

• Keep the user identified so that, if you close a page, the browser or the computer and at another time or another day re-enter that page, you will continue to be identified, thus facilitating your navigation without having to identify yourself again. This functionality can be suppressed if the user presses the “log out” functionality, so that this Cookie is deleted and the next time the user enters the page the user will have to log in to be identified.

• Check if the user is authorized to access certain pages, for example, to participate in a contest.

• Additionally, some pages may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers on a page with credentials of a social network, he authorizes the social network to keep a persistent Cookie that remembers his identity and guarantees him access to the pages until he expires. The user can delete this Cookie and revoke access to the pages through social networks by updating their preferences in the social network that you specify.

Analytical Cookies: Each time a user visits a page, a tool from an external provider (in our case Google Analytics) generates an Analytical Cookie on the user's computer. This Cookie that is only generated in the visit, will serve in future visits to the pages of www.biootech.com to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives pursued are:

• Allow anonymous identification of navigating users through the "Cookie" (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.

• Identify anonymously the most visited content and therefore more attractive to users.

• Know if the user who is accessing is new or repeats visit.

Important: Unless the user decides to register on the website of www.biootech.com, the "Cookie" will never be associated with any personal data that can identify him. These Cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help to optimize the user experience on the site.
