Cookies policy
What are cookies and why do we use them on the Womance website?
A cookie is a file that is downloaded to the user’s device when accessing certain web pages to store and retrieve information about the navigation that is carried out from said computer.
Cookies allow said website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the user’s decisions and habits. In Womance we use them to personalize the experience within our websites, identify and remember the registered user and facilitate navigation.
It is important to note that the use of cookies does not provide personal data of the user, which in the face of Womance remains anonymous.
The user can configure their browser to not accept the use of cookies, in which case the personalization of the experience would not apply although they may continue to access the contents of our websites normally.
On the Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie_(informatics)) it is possible to obtain more information about what with cookies and how they work.
What type of cookies use the Womance website
Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. The first expire when the user closes the browser. The second ones expire depending on when the objective for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified on the websites and services of Womance) or when they are manually deleted.
Additionally, depending on their purpose, Cookies can be classified as follows:
Performance Cookies: this type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. As an example, this typology includes:
Volume settings of video or sound players.
The video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser.
Geolocation Cookies: these Cookies are used to find out which country you are in when a website or service is requested. This Cookie is totally anonymous, and is only used to help guide the content to your location.
Registration Cookies: Registration Cookies are generated once the User has registered or subsequently opened his session, and are used to identify him on the web and services with the following objectives:
Keep the user identified so that, if a service or web closes, the browser or the computer and at another time or another day re-enters that service or web, it will remain identified, facilitating its navigation without having to re-identify. This functionality can be suppressed if the user presses the “Exit” functionality, so that this Cookie is deleted and the next time it enters the web the user will have to log in to be identified.
Check if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.
Additionally, some services may use third-party connectors such as Facebook, Twitter or Google. When the user registers in a service with credentials of a social network or identification system of third parties, authorizes the same to keep a persistent cookie that remembers his identity and guarantees access to the web until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the web through social networks or third party identification system updating their preferences in the social network that specific.
Analytical Cookies: every time a User visits a Website or Service, a tool from an external provider (Google Analytics, comScore and similar) generates an analytical cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used in future visits to Womance’s services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
Allow anonymous identification of browsing users through the “Cookie” (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate accounting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
Identify anonymously the most visited content and therefore more attractive to users
Know if the user who is accessing is new or repeat visit.
Important: Unless the User decides to register on any Womance website, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that can identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help to optimize the user experience on the site.
