From Hifas da Terra, we would like to inform you clearly and precisely about the cookies we use on our website, complying with the provisions of Law 34/2002, on Services of the Information Society and Electronic Commerce (LSSI), as well as with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016 (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR) and Organic Law on Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights (PPDGDRL, Law 3/2018 December 5).
This website uses cookies and / or similar technologies that store and retrieve information when you browse. In general, these technologies can serve very diverse purposes, such as, for example, recognising you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits, or customising the way the content is displayed.
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described below.
Technically, a cookie is a small file that is downloaded to the user’s computer, tablet or smartphone, in order to store data and information that can be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for its installation.
The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the website, the different tabs that you have viewed or the time you have stayed on it, among other details.
This information may be used by the owner of the Website to manage user sessions, improve its contents, make the Website more attractive and correctly place the contents that most interest visitors.
The art. 22 LSSICE refers to “data storage and retrieval devices in recipient terminal equipment”. For its part, the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) understands that said article applies to “cookies and similar technologies used (shared objects or flash cookies, web beacons or bugs) that involve fingerprinting.
There are certain cookies that do not need to comply with the obligations established in art. 22.2 LSSICE when they only allow communication between the user’s equipment and the network, or when they are used to provide a service expressly requested by the user.
These cookies are:
“User input” cookies: Session and user input cookies are often used to track user actions when filling out online forms on multiple pages, or as a shopping basket to track items that a user has selected by pressing a button.
User authentication or identification cookies (session only).
User security cookies: e.g. The cookies used to detect erroneous and repeated attempts to connect to a website
Media player session cookies.
Session cookies to balance the load.
Cookies to personalise the user interface.
Certain add-on cookies (plug-ins) to exchange social content (The exception only applies to users who have decided to keep the session open).
Depending on the entity that manages them, cookies can be:
Own cookies: These are those that are sent to the terminal equipment of the interested party from a computer or domain managed by the person responsible for the Website from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third-party cookies: These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the person responsible for the Website, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
Such is the case, for example, for the analytical cookies used by Google, or those used by social networks to offer the user the possibility of sharing or recommending content from our website on these platforms.
According to the period of time they remain activated:
Session cookies: These are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only necessary to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased in an online store) and are deleted at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies: These are a type of cookies in which the data is still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
According to the intended purpose, cookies can be classified into the following types:
Technical cookies: These are those that allow the user to navigate through a web page, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist in it, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, access parts of restricted access, remember the elements that make up an order, carry out the process of purchasing an order, make a request for registration or participation in an event, use security elements while browsing, store content for dissemination of videos or sound or share content through social networks. Also those that allow you to customise a website. These are exempt from complying with art. 22.2 LSSICE.
Preference or customisation cookies: These are those that allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser through which they access the service, the regional configuration from where you access the service, etc. If the user themself chooses these characteristics (for example, if they select the language of a website by clicking on the icon of the flag of the corresponding country), cookies are exempt from complying with art. 22.2 LSSICE.
Analysis or measurement cookies: they allow the person responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impact of the ads.
Behavioural advertising cookies: These are those that store information on the behaviour of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific, which is used to tailor advertising to the user.

- Legal Framework of Reference
The legal framework for the use of cookies is defined in Spain by Law 34/2002, on Services of the Information Society and Electronic Commerce (LSSI), as well as by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Organic Law of Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights (PPDGDRL, Law 3/2018 of December 5).
In relation to the use of cookies, the second section of article 22 of the LSSI establishes the following:
“2. Service providers may use data storage and retrieval devices on recipients’ terminal equipment, provided that they have given their consent after they have been provided with clear and complete information on their use, in particular, on the Data processing purposes, in accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 15/1999, of December 13, on the Protection of Personal Data.
When technically possible and effective, the consent of the recipient to accept the processing of the data may be provided through the use of the appropriate parameters of the browser or other applications, provided that the recipient must proceed with its configuration during installation or update through an action. express to that effect.
The foregoing shall not prevent the possible storage or access of a technical nature for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network or, insofar as it is strictly necessary, for the provision of an information society service. expressly requested by the recipient. “
In the GDPR, cookies are mentioned in recital 30, prior to the articles of said Regulation:
(30): “Natural people can be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as Internet protocol addresses, session identifiers in the form of” cookies” or other identifiers, such as radio frequency identification tags. This can leave traces that, in particular, when combined with unique identifiers and other data received by the servers, can be used to create profiles of natural persons and identify them.”
Thus, when cookies can identify an individual, they are considered personal data, just like an IP address.
The LOPD establishes in article 6.1, in relation to the consent for the processing of personal data:
“1. In accordance with the provisions of article 4.11 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, consent of the affected party is understood to be any expression of free, specific, informed and unequivocal will by which he accepts, either through a declaration or a clear action. affirmative, the processing of personal data that concerns you. “
