COOKIES POLICY

General

Aperitivos Tapa S.A. informs users, through this notice, that cookies may be used when users browse the different 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 those strictly necessary for the website’s operation 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 retain certain information about the user. The cookie uniquely identifies the device and can only be read by the website that sent it to the device.

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 exceed 4,000 characters in length.

What are cookies used for?

Cookies are used to remember user preferences (language, country, login, browser settings, usage information about our website, etc.).

By remembering your preferences, we don’t need to ask for your country, for example, every time you visit our website. We will know the characteristics of the operating system and the browser used, enabling us to offer a better browsing experience.

Cookies can help our website distinguish the user’s browser as a previous visitor, save and recall preferences established while browsing the site, personalize homepage content, identify which areas of the site have been visited, or keep a record of items in a shopping cart, among other uses.

Aperitivos Tapa S.A. may use cookies to recognize users who have accessed our website and provide a more personalized and efficient service. They may also be used to collect information about the date and time of the user’s last visit, measure traffic parameters within the site, and estimate the number of visits, so that Aperitivos Tapa S.A. can focus and adjust services and promotions more effectively.

Websites usually use cookies to gather statistical information about their pages. Please note that we collect data on your movements and use of our website as statistical data, not personal data.

Types of cookies

Cookies can be classified based on who manages them, how long they remain active, or their purpose. Sometimes a single cookie may fall into more than one category.

Based on ownership

  • First-party cookies: Sent to the user’s device from a server or domain managed by Aperitivos Tapa S.A.

  • Third-party cookies: Sent to the user’s device from a server or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data collected through the cookies.

Based on duration

  • Session cookies: Collect data while the user is browsing the website.

  • Persistent cookies: Data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period set by the cookie’s controller, which may range from minutes to several years.

Based on purpose

  • Technical cookies: Used internally and necessary for the website’s operation.

  • Analytical cookies: Collect statistical information about user activity. This data is collected anonymously and helps optimize navigation on our site to ensure a better service.

  • Customization cookies: Allow users to access the service with certain predefined general characteristics based on criteria from the user’s device (e.g., language, browser type, regional configuration).

  • Advertising cookies: Enable the most efficient management of advertising spaces, if applicable, included by the publisher based on content or ad frequency.

  • Behavioral advertising cookies: Allow the most efficient management of advertising spaces by storing information on user behavior obtained through continuous observation of browsing habits, creating a specific user profile to display tailored ads.

Purpose of cookies

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

Aperitivos Tapa S.A. uses local storage cookies, meaning any file created by the website on your browsing device. Cookies are a form of local storage, but there are others you should know about in order to prevent their use or delete stored information:

  • Browser local storage: Some websites use local storage called “sessionStorage” and “localStorage” to save information; “sessionStorage” is automatically deleted when the browser is closed, but to delete “localStorage” you must clear your browser history.

  • Browser-stored data: Your browser may also automatically store information on your device, such as:

    • Browsing history: A list of previously visited pages.

    • Form and password memory: Browsers often remember form entries (e.g., email, credit card number, login credentials).

    • Browser cache: Stores copies of previously visited pages to speed up loading on future visits.

Browsing history, form memory, and cache are beyond our control. You should delete all this information if you’re using a shared or public device (e.g., someone else’s phone or a public computer).

This website uses first-party cookies, belonging to this domain, to fulfill your information requests.

To disable previously accepted cookies, either through our banner or from the top left corner of the website (click the padlock icon), go to “Site cookies,” then “Manage site cookies and data,” where you can enable or disable their use.
