Cookies and local storage policy

This policy explains how our website uses cookies and similar technologies to provide our service, improve your experience, obtain usage statistics, and achieve other purposes.

Note: Browsing this website necessarily implies the use of essential cookies and similar technologies for its basic operation. For other purposes (analytics, advertising, etc.), the use of cookies is subject to your prior consent, which you can manage below. This policy is an integral part of our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small temporary files created on your device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) when you visit a website. They allow the website to store or retrieve information, such as saving your usage preferences, recognizing you on subsequent visits, or obtaining information about your browsing habits.

When a cookie is created, it stores the website's domain, the duration (which can range from minutes to years), and the content of the cookie. You can disable cookies at any time using the configuration system on this site or by configuring your browser to block them.

2. What are cookies used for?

Cookies fulfill several purposes, commonly grouped as follows:

• Essential technical cookies: Necessary to manage navigation flow and keep the user connected. Disabling these may cause some parts of the site to function incorrectly.

• Personalization cookies: Used to remember specific user preferences (e.g., language or currency).

• Analytical cookies: Help us and third parties gather anonymous statistics on user origin and site navigation, allowing us to improve content and structure.

• Advertising cookies: Used to manage advertisements appearing on the web, determining content or frequency.

• Behavioral advertising cookies: Collect user browsing habits to create interest profiles and display relevant, personalized ads.

• Social sharing cookies: Necessary to identify you on social networks, enabling content sharing.

3. Technologies similar to cookies

Similar technologies are any data storage and retrieval mechanisms used on the user's device. These include:

• Browser local storage: Using sessionStorage, localStorage, or indexed database storage.

• Browser add-on storage: Such as Flash local storage or Silverlight local storage.

• Web beacons: A tracking technique (often a small, transparent image) that registers your connection to a server, indicating you have viewed a page or email.

• Fingerprinting: Techniques combining browser and device information to uniquely identify a user across visits.

4. Own vs. third-party cookies

Cookies are categorized by who manages them:

• Own cookies: Created and managed from our own domains. The information is used directly or indirectly by Brian Chris for our internal purposes.

• Third-party cookies: Created and managed by other websites (e.g., Google, social media providers) that provide functions we've chosen to include (like interactive maps, videos, or social sharing buttons). These cookies are controlled by the third party and based on their own criteria, often including personalized advertising.

5. Cookie duration

Cookies are classified by how long they remain active:

• Temporary session cookies: Stored only while the user remains on the website and are deleted by the browser when the session ends.

• Persistent Cookies: Remain on the device and are read every time the user revisits the site. These are deleted automatically after a fixed, sometimes long, period.

6. Private browsing mode

For a higher degree of privacy, limiting long-term cookie storage, we recommend using your browser's "private" or "incognito" browsing option.

7. Managing and deleting cookies

Configuration system

You can manage your preferences at any time using the cookie configuration system integrated into this website (usually accessible via a link at the bottom of the homepage).
