COOKIE POLICY
Information you should know about cookies.
In compliance with the provisions of article 22.2 of Law 34/2002, of July 11, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce, this website informs you, in this section, about the policy for collecting and processing cookies.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. In this section, we use the term "cookies" as a general term for techniques such as cookies, Flash cookies and web beacons. They do not take up much space and will be deleted automatically when they expire. Some cookies expire at the end of your session, while others will be saved for a set period of time.
2. What types of cookies do we use?
There are different types of cookies with different uses. Some only serve to allow you to browse the web and view certain features. Others give us an idea of your browsing experience, such as, for example, if you have trouble finding what you are looking for, so that we can improve and make your next visit as pleasant as possible.
MERCAPOOL's cookies are called "first-party cookies". Cookies from parties other than us are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided or offered on the website or through it (for example, advertising, interactive content, analytics, etc.). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer or mobile device, both when you visit the website in question and when you visit certain other websites. We use our cookies and third-party cookies for various reasons.
The most important cookies are mandatory cookies. They are essential and help you to navigate the website and use basic functions, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, the website will not function properly. These cookies do not collect identifiable information about you.
We also use performance cookies, which collect information about how visitors use a website, for example, which pages they visit most often, and whether they receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how the website works.
Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Advertising cookies or targeting cookies are linked to services provided by third parties such as 'Like' buttons and 'Share' buttons. The third party provides these services in exchange for recognising that you have visited our website.
3. Why do we use cookies?
MERCAPOOL uses cookies mainly for the following purposes:
- To ensure the proper functioning of the website.
- To remember the preferences and settings of users.
- To analyse the use of the website and improve its performance.
- To offer personalised advertising based on user interests.

The cookies we use are detailed in the cookie declaration below, which is updated periodically. If you want to find out more about cookies and how they are used, you can visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
To the extent that any personal information is collected through cookies, our Privacy Policy applies and complements this Cookie Policy.
5. How often is this cookie statement updated?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
