Cookies Policy

In compliance with Spanish law governing the use of cookies, we hereby inform you of the cookies used on the website of Madrid Destino Cultura, Turismo y Negocio S.A. (hereinafter, "the Website") and of the purpose of their use. Similarly, Madrid Destino informs you that by using the Website you are agreeing to the use of said cookies.

What are cookies and what are they used for?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer, tablet, smartphone or any other device when you access certain websites. Cookies enable a website to, among other things, store and collect information on the browsing habits of a particular user or his or her device. In addition, depending on the information contained in the cookies and the way in which the device is used, cookies may also be used to recognise the user. Under no circumstances can cookies damage your device. Rather, when cookies are active this actually helps to identify and resolve potential errors.

Identification of cookies

In the text below, cookies are classified into various categories. It should nevertheless be noted that the same cookie may fall into more than one category.

Types of cookies based on the entity that manages them

The following cookies can be distinguished based on the entity that manages the device or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained:

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

In the event that cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself but the information collected by the cookies is managed by a third party, the cookies shall not be considered own cookies.

Types of cookies based on how long they remain active

Based on the period of time the cookies remain active on the terminal equipment, they can be categorised as follows:

• Session cookies: these are a type of cookie designed to collect and store data only while the user accesses a webpage. They are normally used to store information which is only of interest during provision of the service requested by the user, on one specific occasion (e.g., a list of acquired products).
•  Persistent cookies: these are a type of cookie in which data remains stored on the terminal equipment and can be accessed and handled for a defined period by the manager of the cookie. This period can range from a few minutes to several years.

Types of cookies based on their purpose

The following types of cookies can be distinguished based on the purpose for which the data obtained through the cookies is used:

• Technical cookies: these are cookies that enable the user to navigate a website, platform or application and use various options or services offered therein, e.g., controlling traffic and communicating data, session ID, accessing restricted areas, remembering the individual components of an order, carrying out the purchase process for orders, processing requests for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or sound broadcasts or sharing content through social networks.
• Customisation cookies: these cookies enable the user to access the service with some general default settings taken from various settings on the user's terminal, e.g., language, type of browser used to access the service, regional settings used to access the service, etc.
• Analysis cookies: these cookies enable their manager to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which the cookies are linked. The information collected by such cookies is used to measure activity on websites, applications or platforms and to create browsing profiles for their users in order to institute improvements through analysis of data relating to how users are employing the service.
• Third-party advertising cookies: these cookies enable advertising spaces to be managed as effectively as possible. These cookies store information on users' behaviour obtained through continual observation of their browsing habits, enabling specific profiles to be developed in order to display advertising based on these habits.

Our Website uses own and third-party cookies which enable us to store and access information relating to the language and browser type used and other general default user settings, as well as to monitor and analyse users' activities with the aim of improving and providing our services in a more efficient and customised manner, analysing the user’s performance on our website in order to monitor what they do.

Session cookies

Storage and validity of session cookies is temporary, i.e., until the user ends the Website session. These cookies do not permanently record any information on your computer’s hard drive.

Analysis cookies

These are used either by us or by third parties, allowing us to quantify the number of users and thus perform measurements and statistical analyses of the use of the service provided. Users’ browsing is therefore analysed on our website to improve the range of products or services on offer.
