Cookies policy

General

 

ARCO IRIS RDC SARL hereby informs users, through this notice, that it may use cookies when the user browses through the various screens and pages of the site.

 

Through the banner on the main screen of our website, you can accept or reject the use of cookies, in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept cookies, only the minimum necessary for the website to function will be installed.

 

What are cookies?

 

A cookie is a very small text file that a Web server can store in a computer's browser to store some type of information about the user. The cookie uniquely identifies the computer and can only be read by the website that sent it to the computer.

 

A cookie is not an executable file or a program and therefore cannot spread or contain a virus or other malicious software, nor can it have a length greater than 4.000 characters.

 

What is the purpose of cookies?

 

The use of cookies aims to remember user preferences (language, country, login, browser features, website usage information, etc.).

 

By remembering your preferences, we won't have to, for example, ask for your country every time you visit our website. We will know the characteristics of the operating system and the browser of the device being used, allowing us to offer a better browsing experience.

 

Cookies can help our website distinguish the user's browser as a returning visitor and thus save and remember preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site, customize home pages, identify which sections of a site have been visited, or keep a record of selections in a 'shopping cart,' among others.

 

ARCO IRIS RDC SARL may use cookies to recognize users who have accessed our website and to offer them better and more personalized service. They can also be used to obtain information about the date and time of the user's last visit, measure some traffic parameters within the site itself, and estimate the number of visits made, so that ARCO IRIS RDC SARL can focus and adjust services and promotions more effectively.

 

Websites typically use cookies to obtain statistical information about their web pages. Please note that we collect data about your movements and use of our website as statistical, non-personal data.

Types of cookies

Cookies can be classified based on the entity that manages them, the duration they remain active, or their purpose. Sometimes, we may find that the same cookie can be included in more than one category.

According to its ownership

  • Own Cookies: They are those sent to the user's computer from a computer or domain managed by ARCO IRIS RDC SARL.  
  • Third party cookies: Cookies are those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

According to their life time

  • Session Cookies: These are those that collect data while the user is browsing the website. 
  • Persistent cookies: They are those in which the data are still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

According to their purpose

  • Technical cookies: These are used internally and are necessary for the operation of the website. 
  • Analytical cookies: These allow the collection of statistical information about user activity. This information is collected anonymously and allows optimization of navigation on our website to ensure better service to the user.
  • Customization cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on criteria on the user's terminal such as language, type of browser used to access the service, regional settings from which the service is accessed, etc. 
  • Advertising cookies: These allow the most efficient management possible of the advertising spaces that the editor may have included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as edited content or the frequency with which ads are displayed.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These allow the most efficient management possible of the advertising spaces that the editor may have included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.

 Purpose of cookies.

Below is a list of the cookies you may encounter on our website and a brief description of their purpose. We assure you that none of them retain personally identifiable information about you. Some cookies personalize your visit, others remember your preferences, while others only provide us with visitor statistics.

ARCO IRIS RDC SARL uses local storage cookies, which we define as any file created by the website on your browsing device. Cookies are one form of local storage, but there are others. It is important that you are aware of them so that you can prevent their use or delete the stored information on your device:

Browser local storage. Some websites use local storage called "sessionStorage" and "localStorage" to save information; "sessionStorage" is automatically cleared when you close the browser program, but to delete "localStorage," you must clear your browser history.

Additionally, your browser may automatically store information on your device, such as:

-History of visited pages: It contains the list of pages you have previously visited.

-Form and password memory: Many browsers memorize the data you enter on web forms (such as your email, credit card number, or login password) so you don't have to retype them.

-Browser cache, which contains a copy of previously visited pages to speed up their display if you revisit later. Browser history, browser memory, and cache are beyond our control. It is important to delete all that information if you are using a device that is not yours (for example, someone else's smartphone or a public computer).

This website uses its own cookies, belonging to the domain, to respond to your information request.

If you wish to disable accepted cookies, either from our banner or at the top left of the website, by clicking on the padlock, access the website's cookies, then Manage site cookies and site data, and there you can enable or disable the use of these.
