This Website is owned by CHARGING TOGETHER, S.L., which is a company with its registered office at Paseo de la Castellana 163, 28046, Madrid; and with tax identification number B13938378 (the “Company”).

This Website uses the Company’s own (first-party) cookies, third-party cookies, and similar technologies (HTTP cookies, pixel trackers, and local shared objects) to store and retrieve information about the users when they navigate at the Website, for the purposes described in the section entitled “Details regarding cookies and similar technologies”.

However, in compliance with the principle of proactive responsibility, CHARGING TOGETHER, S.L. informs you that this Website does not collect or transfer any personal data unless its USERS have first been given the information required by law, and their consent has been obtained in all cases where necessary.

This Cookies Policy also provides information about processing of the data collected by the cookies and similar technologies used at this Website.

What are cookies?

Cookies and similar technologies (local shared objects, flash cookies, web beacons, etc.) are small files created by the websites that users visit. They are downloaded onto the users’ devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc.) or web browsers, for the purpose of storing and retrieving specific information about those users (e.g., their navigation habits, or information about the devices and web browsers they are using).

Types of cookies

The different types of cookies that may be used include, but are not limited to, those identified below, which can be classified in various ways:

Based on which entity manages the equipment or domain that stores the cookie on the user’s device and processes the data obtained:

  • First-party cookies: these are cookies that are stored on the user’s device or web browser by equipment or domains managed by the owners of the same website or app being used to provide the service requested by the user.
  • Third-party cookies: these are cookies stored on the user’s device or web browser by equipment or domains that are not managed by the owners of the same website or app being used. Instead, they are stored by another entity, which also processes the data obtained by those cookies or similar technologies.

Based on how long the cookie is stored on the user’s device or web browser:

  • Session cookies: these cookies are designed to collect and store data only during the time when a user is accessing an app or website. These cookies are typically used to store information that only needs to be retained to provide a requested service one time, and they disappear at the end of each session (for example, when the user ends the visit by closing the web browser).
  • Persistent cookies: these cookies allow information to be stored on the user’s device or web browser even after each session has ended. This means that the data stored can be accessed and processed for a longer period of time, which is defined by the party responsible for the cookie. Although this time period might be just a few minutes, it can also be as long as several years, unless the user manually deletes the cookie.

Based on the purpose of the cookie, which may include:

  • Technical or strictly necessary cookies: these cookies allow users to navigate through an app or website and use the various options or services available. They include cookies used to manage and operate a website or app, and to activate its functions and services, such as monitoring traffic and communicating information, identifying the session, allowing access to restricted areas, remembering elements associated with a product or service, allowing a product or service to be purchased, managing payments for products or services, controlling fraud to improve security, accepting requests for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for purposes of billing for software licenses used to provide a service (website, platform, or app), applying security elements during navigation, storing contents for playing audio or video clips, activating dynamic content (e.g., animated loading of text or images), and sharing contents at social network sites. Other technical cookies that belong to this category are those that allow more effective management of advertising spaces, which have been included as an additional design or layout element for a service offered to the users. These spaces are included at a website or app based on criteria such as the contents being published, so these cookies do not collect information about the users for any other purposes, such as personalising the advertising or other contents displayed.
  • Cookies for preferences or personalisation: these cookies record information that allows users with specific characteristics to have a customised experience when using a website or app, different from that of other users. For example, these cookies can be used to display a specific language, adjust the number of search results displayed, or change the appearance or contents of a website or app based on each user’s particular web browser, country, or region.
  • Cookies for analysis or measurement: these cookies are used to monitor and analyse user behaviour in relation to a website or app, which includes counting the number of advertising impressions. The data collected by cookies of this type is used to measure the activities taking place at a website or app, with the aim of using this information to perform analyses and make improvements.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: these are cookies that store information about behaviour, through ongoing observation of each user’s navigation habits. This allows more effective management of the advertising spaces displayed at websites or apps, by developing specific user profiles that are used to determine which advertisements each user will see.
  • Social network cookies: some websites or apps may contain features associated with third-party websites, such as social network sites. These features may incorporate sequences of commands or other elements that are able to read and/or store cookies and similar technologies on a user’s web browser or device (these are usually behavioural advertising cookies and similar technologies). The owners of the websites and apps that use features based on this type of cookies or similar technologies do not have access to them or control over them, or over the information they are able to collect. This is because these aspects are managed by the companies that actually store the cookies, based on their own purposes and privacy policies. This why we recommend that before any users allow installation of these cookies on their devices or web browsers, they should read the privacy policies of the third parties responsible for those cookies and similar technologies.

For this purpose, the list below includes some (but not all) of the third parties that might be storing this type of cookies or similar technologies on a user’s device or web browser. This list also includes a link to each company’s cookies policy and privacy policy, so that users can view these before making decisions about whether to allow use of those cookies or similar technologies.

These various ways of classifying cookies are offered here as examples, to help give users a better understanding of the most commonly used types of cookies and similar technologies.

However, additional details regarding the specific cookies and similar technologies that may be stored on the devices or web browsers of this Website’s users during their visits and navigation are given below, in the section entitled “Details regarding cookies and similar technologies”.
