Cookies policy

The following is the Cookies Policy (hereinafter, “cookies policy” or “policy”) that governs the website “https://a4ge.eu” (hereinafter, “the Website”), managed by Account4GreenEco (hereinafter, “Account4GreenEco” or “us” or “we”).

The purpose of this Cookies Policy is to help you understand how we use cookies on this website, their types, purpose and duration, and to indicate the options you have to configure, manage or reject them.

WE ALSO RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ OUR PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files or devices that are downloaded and stored on your terminal (i.e. the device from which you access the Web: computer, mobile phone, tablet or any other connected device…) and allow the Web or website to remember information about your visit.

In general, and as stated in the Cookies Guide published by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), cookies can be of various types:

  • Depending on who is the entity that manages the equipment or domain from which the cookies are sent and treats the data obtained, we can distinguish:
    • First-party cookies: These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the website editor, in this case Account4GreenEco, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
    • Third-party cookies: These are cookies that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the website editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. In the event that the cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by Account4GreenEco, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered Account4GreenEco’s own cookies. In this respect, Account4GreenEco may contract the services of analysis and measurement companies that measure and/or analyse the browsing behaviour of users on the Website and, in this respect, act on its behalf and in its name, through the analysis of the data obtained from the use of cookies by these third parties, all with the sole aim of improving the service provided by Account4GreenEco.
  • Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through the cookies are processed, we can distinguish between:
    • Technical cookies: These cookies allow the user to browse the website and use the different options or services that exist on it, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access information, remembering the elements that make up an application, making an application for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the broadcasting of videos or sound or sharing content via social networks.
    • Personalisation cookies: These cookies allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics depending on a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as, for example, the language, the type of browser used to access the service, or the regional configuration from which the service is accessed, among others.
    • Analysis cookies: These cookies allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure activity on the Web and to create browsing profiles of the users of these sites, applications and Webs, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the data on the use made by users of the service.
    • Advertising cookies: These are those that allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the editor has included on a website, application or Web from which the requested service is provided based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency at which the advertisements are shown.
    • Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies enable the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the publisher has included on a web page, application or website from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on the behaviour of users obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on the same.
  • Depending on the period of time that they remain activated in the terminal equipment (temporality), we can distinguish:
    • Session cookies: Cookies designed to collect and store data while the user accesses the Web. Session cookies allow a website to recognise the user.
    • Persistent cookies: Cookies in which the data continues to be stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
