COOKIE POLICY

COOKIE POLICY

This website, like most websites on the Internet, uses Cookies to improve and optimize the user experience. Below you will find detailed information about what “Cookies” are, what types this website uses, how you can disable them in your browser, and how to specifically block the installation of third-party Cookies.

WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHY DO WE USE THEM ON SUNTHEBRAND WEBSITES?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to the user’s device when accessing certain web pages in order to store and retrieve information about browsing activity carried out from that device.

Cookies allow the website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the user’s decisions and habits. On SunTheBrand websites, we use them to personalize the experience, identify and remember registered users, and facilitate navigation.

It is important to note that the use of cookies does not provide the user’s personal data, who remains anonymous to SunTheBrand.

The user can configure their browser not to accept the use of cookies. In that case, the experience will not be personalized, although they will still be able to access the content of our websites normally.

More information about cookies and how they work can be found on the Wikipedia page.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE USED ON SunTheBrand WEBSITES?

Depending on how long they remain active, Cookies can be divided into session Cookies or permanent Cookies. The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire when the purpose for which they are used has been fulfilled (for example, keeping the user logged in to the websites and services of SunTheBrand) 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 available in the services, so you do not have to configure the service again each time you visit. Examples of this type include:

  • Volume settings for video or sound players.
  • Video transmission speeds compatible with your browser.

Geolocation Cookies

These Cookies are used to determine which country you are in when a website or service is requested. This Cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor content to your location.

Registration Cookies

Registration Cookies are generated once the User has registered or subsequently opened a session, and are used to identify them on websites and services for the following purposes:

  • Keep the user logged in so that, if they close a service or website, the browser or computer, and later or on another day return to that service or website, they will remain logged in, thereby facilitating navigation without having to log in again. This functionality can be disabled if the user selects the “Log out” functionality, which deletes this Cookie. The next time the user enters the website, they will have to log in to be identified.
  • Check whether 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 for a service using credentials from a social network or third-party identification system, they authorize it to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees access to the website until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the website through social networks or a third-party identification system by updating their preferences on the specified social network.

Analytics Cookies

Each time a User visits a Website or Service, a tool from an external provider (Google Analytics, comScore, and similar services) generates an analytics cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used on subsequent visits to SunTheBrand services to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives are:

  • Enable the anonymous identification of browsing users through the “Cookie” (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore provide an approximate count of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
  • Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore the content most attractive to users
  • Determine whether the user accessing the website is new or returning.

Important: Unless the User decides to register on the SunTheBrand website, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimize the user experience on the site.
