Likewise, when visiting a website or opening an email that displays an advertisement or promotion about the products or services offered, it is possible that a cookie will be installed in the browser to later display advertising related to the search that has been conducted. This allows for monitoring of advertisements, for example, regarding the number of times they are viewed, their location, viewing time, etc.

5. Web Analytics – Google Analytics
This website may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc., whose headquarters are located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). This tool allows the Owner to understand the level of engagement of Users with the website, providing the ability to consult various reports describing how Users interact with the website in order to improve it. Google Analytics collects information anonymously, meaning it reports website trends without identifying individual users.
Google Analytics uses first-party cookies, which are text files placed on the computer, to track User interactions on the website. These cookies are used to store information such as the time of the visit, whether the User has been to the site before, and which site recommended the User to visit this particular website. Browsers do not share first-party cookies from the same domain.
All devices connected to the Internet are assigned a unique number known as the “Internet Protocol (IP) address.” Since these numbers are often assigned based on the country, IP addresses are frequently used to identify the country, state, and city from which the device is connected to the Internet. Google Analytics records the IP address of the Users who visit the Website so that the Owner can determine from which locations around the world the site is being accessed. This method is called “IP geolocation.” Google Analytics does not provide information about the actual IP address.
The Google Analytics Terms of Service prohibit tracking or obtaining personal data that identifies a person (such as name, email address, billing information, and other associated data) through Google Analytics, as well as the association of personal information with web analytics data.
The User can control the information that Google can use and decide whether or not they want Google to employ this data through the options for data sharing in Google Analytics. The data is used to improve Google’s products and services.
In order to provide Users with more choices regarding the way Google Analytics collects their data, the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on has been created. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) code not to send information about the website visit to Google Analytics. However, it does not prevent information from being sent to the website itself or other web analytics services. The User may refuse the processing of data or information by rejecting the use of cookies through the appropriate settings in their browser; however, the User should be aware that by doing so, they may not be able to fully use the functionality of this Website.
By using this Website, the User consents to the processing of their information by Google and the Owner in the manner and for the purposes stated above. For more information about this tool and Google’s privacy policy, Users are recommended to visit the following link: https://www.google.es/intl/es/policies/
