1. What is a cookie?

A “cookie” is a small text file that a website stores in the user’s browser, facilitating navigation on a website and being essential for the functioning of the internet. Cookies are used, for example, to validate website registrations (remembering username and password); to remember options such as size, language, or browser used; to analyze user habits and behavior in order to improve the services offered; or to adapt the content of a website to the visitor’s preferences.

Cookies may be session cookies, which are deleted once the user leaves the website that generated them, or persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s computer until a specified expiration date. Likewise, cookies may be first-party cookies, managed by the domain accessed by the user and from which a specific service is requested (in this case, domains owned by MADERAS Y CHAPAS BLANQUER S.A., as the owner of the domain www.blanquer.com), or third-party cookies, which are sent to the user’s device from a domain different from the one accessed.

• Plugin cookies: These are cookies used by external plugins installed on the website for proper functioning, such as playing explanatory videos.

• Social media cookies: These cookies are used to identify you as a user on a social network and allow interaction through your profile.

This information allows MADERAS Y CHAPAS BLANQUER S.A. to adapt and improve its services according to users’ interests.
