Cookies Policy

World Ocean Cargo Ibérica S.L. informs about the use of cookies on its website: www.wociberica.com.

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through websites. They are tools that play an essential role in providing numerous information society services. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or their device, and depending on the information obtained, they can be used to recognize the user and improve the service provided.

Types of cookies

Depending on who manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

  • Own cookies: Those sent to the user's device from a device or domain managed by the editor itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: Those sent to the user's device from a device or domain that is not managed by the editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

If the cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the editor but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies.

There is also a second classification based on the time they remain stored in the user’s browser, which can be:

  • Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a website. They are usually used to store information that is only needed for providing the service requested by the user on a one-time basis (e.g., a list of purchased products).
  • Persistent cookies: The data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the cookie’s responsible party, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies depending on the purpose for which the obtained data is processed:

  • Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in an order, completing the purchase process, registering for an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or audio streaming, or sharing content via social networks.
  • Customization cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria on the user’s device, such as language, browser type used to access the service, regional configuration, etc.
  • Analytics cookies: These allow the responsible party to track and analyze the behavior of users on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure the activity on the websites, applications, or platforms and to create navigation profiles for the users of those sites, applications, and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the data usage made by the users of the service.
  • Advertising cookies: These allow the most effective management of advertising spaces.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to show ads based on it.
  • External social media cookies: These are used so that visitors can interact with content from different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are created solely for users of those social networks. The conditions for the use of these cookies and the information collected are governed by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
