From a technical point of view, they allow websites to work more quickly and adapted to your preferences, such as storing your language or the currency of your country.

​
Type, Purpose and Operation of Cookies
​
Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire depending on when the purpose for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified on www.biootech.com pages) or when they are manually deleted.
In addition, depending on their purpose, 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. By way of example, this typology includes:
-
Volume adjustments for video or sound players.
-
The video streaming speeds supported by your browser.
Geolocation Cookies: These cookies are used to find out which country you are in when you browse the website. This cookie is completely anonymous, and is only used to help target content to your location.
​
Registration Cookies: Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently started the session, and are used to identify the user on pages for the following purposes:
-
To keep the user identified so that, if they close a page, the browser or the computer and at another time or another day they re-enter this page, they will continue to be identified, thus facilitating their navigation without having to identify themselves again. This functionality can be deleted if the user clicks on the "log out" functionality, so this cookie is deleted and the next time they enter the page the user must log in to be identified.
-
Check whether the user is authorised to access certain pages, for example, to enter a competition.
-
Additionally, some pages may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Youtube or Twitter. When the user registers on a page with credentials from a social network, they authorize the social network to save a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees them access to the pages until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the pages through social networks by updating their preferences on the social network they specify.
Analytics Cookies: Every 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, which is only generated during the visit, will be used on future visits to the www.biootech.com pages to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
-
To allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the "cookie" (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
-
Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore the most attractive for users.
-
Know if the user who is accessing is new or repeat visit.
Important: Unless the user decides to register on the www.biootech.com website, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that can identify him/her. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help to optimize the user experience on the site.
