The Official College of Chemists of Galicia (“COLEGIO OFICIAL DE QUÍMICOS DE GALICIA”) uses cookies or other similar functionality files (hereinafter, “cookies”) to understand how you use our services and to improve them. COLEGIO OFICIAL DE QUÍMICOS DE GALICIA is responsible for the cookies and the processing of data obtained through them, whether first-party or third-party, deciding on the purpose, content, and use of the collected information.

The purpose of this policy is to clearly and thoroughly inform you about what a cookie is, its purpose, the types of cookies we use, and how to configure or, if necessary, disable them.

A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser when you visit our website, which saves information about your navigation. Some cookies are essential for the proper functioning of web pages, such as technical cookies or interface personalization cookies. Others, such as analytics or behavioral advertising cookies, require that we inform you and obtain your consent to use them.

Below, to allow you to give fully informed consent, we detail the nature and purpose of each type of cookie:

• Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use its different options or services, including website management and operation, and enabling its functions and services. Examples include identifying a session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a shopping cart, completing a purchase, or managing payment. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, so they are considered necessary and do not require your consent.

• Preference or personalization cookies: These allow the website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, so the user accesses the service with certain features that may differ from those of other users. Examples include language selection, the number of results shown during a search, or the user’s region. If the user chooses these features, e.g., selecting the language flag, it is considered a service expressly requested, provided the cookies serve exclusively the selected personalization purpose. Like technical cookies, these do not require consent.

• Analytics or measurement cookies: These allow understanding how visitors interact with the web pages and perform statistical analysis of users’ website usage. The information collected is used to measure website or application activity with the aim of introducing improvements to the products and services provided by the data controller.

• Marketing or behavioral advertising cookies: These store information about users’ behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to show relevant and attractive ads to individual users, which are therefore more valuable for third-party advertisers.

COLEGIO OFICIAL DE QUÍMICOS DE GALICIA is using technical cookies for the purposes described in the following cookie statement:
