Cookies policy updates

Most of the cookies used gather anonymous information from which it is not possible to ascertain the User’s identify. However, the Website will be deemed to be processing personal data whenever the User is identified (e.g., browsing as a registered user) or when it uses unique identifiers that make it possible to distinguish between certain Users and others and to track them separately.In that instance, the information gathered will be processed for the purposes indicated below in this Cookie Policy. That same information will also be processed by the companies that provide cookies with the purposes indicated in their respective privacy policies.

Elsewhere, Users should note that some of these providers may be located in the United States or other countries whose legislation does not afford a level of data protection equivalent to Europe’s; nevertheless, the User can consult how those suppliers process data using the various links to their respective privacy policies.

The legal basis for such processing is consent, which you may revoke at any time. To do so, please go to your browser settings, as indicated above.

Users may submit any requests to exercise these rights using the procedure set down in the Privacy Policy. However, if the data controller is not able to identify the User, it may deny the request under the scope of the contents of article 12.2 of the GDPR (unless the User agrees to provide additional information such that the data controller can indeed identify him or her).

If you believe your data protection rights have been breached, you may present a claim before Spain’s competent data protection authority, the AEPD (www.aepd.es), or before Afi’s Data Protection Officer, at dpo@afi.es. Users may submit any enquiries about cookie usage that are not addressed in this Cookie Policy by sending an email to Afi’s Data Protection Officer (dpo@afi.es).
