This site uses cookies

In compliance with Law 34/2002 of July 11 on Services of the Information Society and Electronic Commerce (LSSICE), we inform you that this website, Velvet Room Barcelona, uses cookies.

The LSSICE applies to any type of file or device that is downloaded to a user’s terminal device for the purpose of storing data that may be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for its installation. A cookie is one of these widely used files, which we will generically refer to as cookies.

Cookies are small text files sent to a browser from a web server to record the user’s activity on a website so that this information can be retrieved later during navigation through the different pages connected to the server that installed them.

Cookies typically store technical information, personal preferences, content personalization, usage statistics, links to social networks, access to user accounts, etc.

Types of cookies

Below is a classification of cookies based on several categories. However, it is necessary to consider that the same cookie may be included in more than one category.

According to the entity that manages them
– First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal device from a device or domain managed by the publisher and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
– Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal device from a device or domain that is not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
In cases where cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the publisher but the information collected is managed by a third party, they are not considered first-party cookies.

According to the duration they remain active
Based on the length of time they remain active on the terminal device, we can distinguish between:

– Session cookies: These are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are typically used to store information that is only relevant to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).

– Persistent cookies: These are a type of cookie in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

According to their purpose

Based on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, we can distinguish between:

– Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the various options or services available, such as controlling data traffic and communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a shopping cart, completing a purchase, registering for an event, using security features while browsing, storing content for video or audio dissemination, or sharing content through social networks.

– Personalization cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria on the user’s terminal, such as language, browser type used to access the service, regional settings from which the service is accessed, etc.

– Analytics cookies: These allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyze the behavior of users of the websites they are linked to. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms and to create browsing profiles of users of these sites, applications, and platforms, with the aim of introducing improvements based on the analysis of the data on how users use the service.

– Advertising cookies: These allow for the most efficient management of the advertising spaces that, if applicable, the publisher has included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency at which ads are shown.

– Behavioral advertising cookies: These allow for the most efficient management of the advertising spaces that, if applicable, the publisher has included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
