Cookie policies

Los Cerros Boutique Hotel informs about the use of cookies on its website: loscerrosdelchalten.com.ar

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in providing numerous information society services. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their device and, depending on the information obtained, can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on who manages the domain from which cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

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

In the case where cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the period of time they remain stored in the client's browser:

  • Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to preserve for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).
  • Persistent cookies: Data continues to be stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with five types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:

  • Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available on it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, remembering elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, making a request for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the distribution of videos or sound, or sharing content through social networks.
  • Customization cookies: Allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined based on a series of criteria in the user's terminal, such as language, the type of browser through which they access the service, the regional configuration from where they access the service, etc.
  • Analytics cookies: Allow the controller to track and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms and to create browsing profiles of users of such sites, applications, and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of usage data made by service users.
  • Advertising cookies: Allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: Store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows developing a specific profile to display advertising based on it.
  • External social media cookies: Used so that visitors can interact with content from different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for users of such social networks. The conditions of use of these cookies and the information collected are governed by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
