Cookie Policy

This cookie policy was last updated on December 20, 2024, and applies to citizens and permanent legal residents of the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

Through this notice on the website www.portnauticcastello.com, PORT NAUTIC CASTELLÓ S.L., with CIF B64521875, informs you of its cookie policy, thereby complying with the provisions of Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002, of July 11, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are files that are downloaded to the user’s device (computer/smartphone/tablet) when accessing certain web pages and are stored in its memory.

Among other things, cookies allow for storing and retrieving information about a user’s browsing habits or their equipment, seeing which pages are visited, connection time, analyzing a page’s operation, identifying technical problems, etc. Depending on the information they contain and how the device is used, they can be used to recognize the user.

What types of cookies exist?

There are several types of cookies based on different criteria:

Based on ownership:

  • First-party cookies: These belong to the owner of the website.
  • Third-party cookies: These are owned by a third party, different from the website owner, who will process the collected information.

Based on purpose:

  • Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available on it, including those that the editor uses to enable the management and operation of the website and to enable its functions and services, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the elements of an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, making a request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing software licenses with which the service operates (website, platform or application), using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound dissemination, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of text or image) or sharing content through social networks. Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are those cookies that allow the most efficient management possible of advertising spaces that, as another design or ‘layout’ element of the service offered to the user, the editor has included on a website, application, or platform based on criteria such as the edited content, without collecting user information for other purposes, such as personalizing that advertising content or other content. Technical cookies will be exempt from compliance with the obligations established in Article 22.2 of the LSSI when they allow the provision of the service requested by the user, as is the case with the cookies listed in the preceding paragraphs. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (e.g., for behavioral advertising purposes), they will be subject to these obligations.
  • Preference or personalization cookies: These allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the language, the number of results to show when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc. If the user themselves chooses these characteristics (for example, by selecting the language of a website by clicking on the flag icon of the corresponding country), the cookies will be exempt from the obligations of Article 22.2 of the LSSI, as they are considered a service expressly requested by the user, and this is always provided that the cookies exclusively serve the selected purpose.
  • Analytics or measurement cookies: These allow their controller to monitor and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookies is used in the measurement of the activity of websites, applications, or platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of user data. Regarding the processing of data collected through analytics cookies, although they are not exempt from the duty to obtain informed consent for their use, it is unlikely that they represent a risk to user privacy as long as they are first-party cookies, process aggregated data for a strictly statistical purpose, provide information about their uses, and include the possibility for users to express their refusal to use them.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed to display advertising based on it.

Based on the time they remain active on the end device, we can distinguish:

  • Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only necessary to retain for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
  • Persistent cookies: These are cookies where data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

What is a cookie used for?

Cookies are used to offer you personalized services and/or advertising, to analyze system operation, recognize you when you log in as a user, locate incidents and problems that may arise and resolve them as quickly as possible, as well as to analyze and measure website usage and activity.

Is my consent needed to implement a cookie?

Consent is not required for the installation of technical cookies or those strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service expressly requested by the recipient.

For the rest, the consent of the interested party is required and can be requested through various means. In relation to this website, it will be understood as granted if you continue to use the website, without prejudice to the fact that you may revoke it and disable cookies at any time.

  • Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service developed by Google, which allows the measurement and analysis of website navigation.

This information enables a better and more appropriate service from this portal.

To ensure anonymity, Google will anonymize your information by truncating the IP address before storing it, so Google Analytics is not used to locate or collect personally identifiable information from site visitors. Google may only send information collected by Google Analytics to third parties when legally obliged to do so. In accordance with the Google Analytics Terms of Service, Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
