Cookies

What are cookies?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or their device, and, depending on the information they contain and how you use your device, they can be used to recognize the user.

What types of cookies are used on this website?

By duration

There are two main types of cookies:

  • Session cookies store temporary information that is deleted when the user leaves the page they are visiting or closes the browser.
  • Persistent cookies are used to store information for a longer period and allow, among other applications, the display of advertisements related to the user’s interests.

By domain owner

  • First-party cookies: These are sent to your computer or device by our web services and are operated exclusively by YouCanQuoteME.
  • Third-party cookies: These are sent to your computer or device from a computer or domain that is not managed by YouCanQuoteME, but by another collaborating entity or third party.

By purpose

(These are specified very broadly, although this definition can be more specific).

  • Technical cookies: These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website you are visiting. They allow, for example, controlling communication with the server, access to restricted areas, the execution of purchase processes, the use of secure elements, etc.
  • Performance cookies: This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the Services, so you don’t have to reconfigure the Service each time you visit. For example, this type includes: Volume settings for video or audio players. Video streaming speeds compatible with your browser. Items stored in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services such as online stores.
  • Geolocation cookies: These cookies are used to determine your country when a service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to tailor content to your location.
    Registration cookies: Registration cookies are generated once a user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used to identify them within the services for the following purposes:

    • To keep the user logged in so that if they close a service, browser, or computer and then return to that service at a later time or on a different day, they will remain logged in, thus facilitating their navigation without having to log in again. This functionality can be disabled if the user clicks the [log out] button, which deletes this cookie, and the next time the user accesses the service, they will have to log in to identify themselves.

    • To verify if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.

    • In addition, some services may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When a user registers for a service using social network credentials, they authorize the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and grants them access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the services through social networks by updating their preferences on the specific social network.

  • Analytical cookies: Each time a user visits a service, a third-party tool generates an analytical cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used on future visits to YouCanQuoteME services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives are:
    • To allow the anonymous identification of users browsing via the cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their evolution over time.
    • To anonymously identify the most visited and therefore most attractive content for users. To know if the accessing user is a new or returning visitor.
    • Important: Unless the user decides to subscribe to a YouCanQuoteME service, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to optimize the user experience on the site.
  • Advertising cookies: These are cookies that allow us to effectively manage the advertising space offered on the site. They help, among other functions, to control the frequency of ad views, optimize delivery, etc.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These cookies allow for the most efficient management of advertising spaces that the publisher may have included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information about visitor behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing for the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on that profile.
  • Third-party advertising cookies: In addition to the advertising managed by YouCanQuoteME on its services, YouCanQuoteME offers its advertisers the option of serving advertising through third parties (“Ad-Servers”). These third parties can store cookies sent from YouCanQuoteME services on users’ browsers and access the data stored there. The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies.

This website uses its own and third-party cookies to offer you a better browsing experience, share content on social networks, and to obtain user statistics.

YouCanQuoteME states that it does not use any personal data obtained from cookies; it only compiles general visitor statistics that do not involve any personal data.

As a user, the easiest way to prevent cookies from being downloaded is to block them through the appropriate settings in your browser. This will prevent cookies from being stored on your hard drive. Therefore, it is important that you read this Cookie Policy and understand that if you continue browsing, we consider that you accept their use.

What cookies does this website use?

At YouCanQuoteME, we primarily use technical, analytical, and advertising cookies, although these may vary. None of the cookies collect personal data, particularly those we manage. For your information, we indicate the types of cookies we may use:

  • Necessary technical cookies.
  • Cookies focused on data analysis and advertising.
  • Other types of cookies focused on technical functions, social networks, etc.

How does Google use cookies on this website?

For this, we recommend that you carefully read the information provided by Google:

Google: Privacy and Terms. How Google uses cookies.

How can I disable cookies in my browser?

Different browsers can be configured to warn the user upon receiving cookies and, if necessary, prevent their installation on the computer. Users can also check in their browser which cookies are installed and their expiration dates, and delete them.

Similarly, at YouCanQuoteME we have implemented a cookie notice that automatically blocks cookies that have not been explicitly accepted. For your information, cookies that are only loaded after acceptance relate to online marketing and advertising. The statistical cookies used are managed by Google Analytics and comply with legal requirements regarding anonymity, namely:

  • Google’s data processing policy has been accepted (thus establishing compliance with data protection law).
  • Google cannot use this data for other services (any functionality that collects data other than that used exclusively for anonymous statistical analysis has been disabled).
  • The acquisition of IP addresses is always blocked (Google does not manage any user IP addresses through Analytics, and all IP addresses are masked and anonymized).

According to regulations, if only functional cookies are used on your site and Google Analytics, a cookie notice is not required, but Google Analytics must be configured in a specific way to comply with the GDPR. The plugin used by YouCanQuoteME will configure your Analytics with anonymized IP addresses, allowing you to disable the cookie banner. Furthermore, Analytics actively uses the “IP anonymization” function, so tracking will be blocked. Please refer to this article for more information.

Please note that necessary and technical cookies will still be loaded. We would like to inform you that the best way to block all cookies you do not wish to download is by configuring your browser. Despite the implementation of complex applications and functions for automatically blocking cookies, not all cookies are blocked. This is due to various interdependent technical aspects, such as the browser used, browser applications that may disable cookie blocking, data analysis, and browsing programs, all of which can cause malfunctions or unwanted cookie blocking. We strongly recommend blocking cookies directly through your browser to achieve a high level of control over cookie blocking.
