COOKIE POLICY
Welcome to the COOKIE POLICY of the website of the entity COSTA AZUL CANARIA, S.A., with NIF A35209600, where we will explain in clear and simple language all the necessary issues so that you can have control over them based on your personal decisions.
WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHY DO WE USE THEM?
A cookie is a small information file that is stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet each time you visit our website.
In principle, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, trojans, worms, etc. that could damage your device, but it does have some impact on your right to protect your personal data, as it collects certain information related to you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
For this reason, based on the applicable regulations (LSSI and current personal data protection regulations), the activation of certain types of cookies will require your prior authorization.
Before doing so, we will provide you with some additional information to help you make better decisions regarding this matter:
- Cookies can be of various types based on their purpose:
- Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function, do not require your authorization, and are the only ones enabled by default.
- The rest of the cookies are used to improve our website, customize it based on your preferences, or show you advertisements tailored to your searches, tastes, and personal interests. You can accept all of these cookies by clicking the ACCEPT button or configure or reject their use by clicking on the COOKIE SETTINGS section.
- Some cookies are ours (we will call them own cookies), and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will call them third-party cookies: an example could be cookies from external providers like Google). In this regard, it is important to know that some of these external providers may be located outside Spain.
Globally, not all countries have the same level of data protection, and some countries are more secure than others (for example, the European Union is a secure environment for your data). Our policy is to use reliable providers who, regardless of whether they are located in the European Union or not, have adopted adequate guarantees to protect your personal information. However, in the section titled WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?, you can consult the different Privacy Policies and Data Protection policies of each of the referred external providers to make an informed decision about enabling or disabling third-party cookies on our website.
- Finally, we indicate that, depending on the duration of time they remain active, cookies can be of two types:
- Session cookies: They automatically expire when you end your session on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. They are usually used to keep necessary information while a service is provided to you only once.
- Persistent cookies: They remain stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet for a set period, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES CAN WE USE ON OUR WEBSITE?
- Technical Cookies:
Technical cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function and allow you to navigate it. This type of cookie is the one that, for example, allows us to identify you, give you access to certain restricted parts of the site if needed, or remember different options or services you have already selected, such as your privacy preferences. Therefore, they are enabled by default, and no authorization is required.
Through your browser settings, you can block or alert the presence of these cookies, although blocking them may affect the proper functioning of the various features of our website.
- Analysis Cookies:
Analysis cookies allow us to study the browsing behavior of users on our website in general (for example, which sections of the site are most visited, which services are used the most, and whether they work properly, etc.).
Based on the statistical information about navigation on our website, we can improve both the website’s functionality and the various services it offers. Therefore, these cookies are not used for advertising purposes, but only serve to make our website work better, adapting to our users in general. By enabling them, you will contribute to this continuous improvement.
You can enable or disable these cookies by checking the corresponding box, with them being disabled by default.
- Functionality and Customization Cookies:
Functionality cookies allow us to remember your preferences to customize specific features and general options of our website each time you access it (for example, the language in which the information is displayed, your favorite sections, your browser type, etc.).
Therefore, these cookies are not used for advertising purposes, but by enabling them, you will improve the website’s functionality (e.g., adapting to your browser type) and its personalization based on your preferences (e.g., displaying information in the language you have previously chosen). This will contribute to the ease, usability, and comfort of our website during your browsing.
You can enable or disable these cookies by checking the corresponding box, with them being disabled by default.
- Advertising Cookies:
Advertising cookies allow us to manage the advertising spaces on our website based on criteria such as the displayed content or the frequency with which ads are shown.
For example, if you have seen the same ad multiple times on our website and have not shown personal interest by clicking on it, it will not appear again. In summary, by enabling this type of cookie, the ads displayed on our website will be more useful and diverse, and less repetitive.
You can enable or disable these cookies by checking the corresponding box, with them being disabled by default.
- Behavioral Advertising Cookies:
Behavioral advertising cookies allow us to obtain information based on observing your browsing habits and behaviors on the website in order to show you advertising content that better suits your tastes and personal interests.
To explain it in a very simple way, we will give you a fictitious example: if your recent searches on the web have been related to suspense literature, we would show you advertising about suspense books.
Therefore, by enabling these cookies, the advertising we show you on our website will not be generic but tailored to your searches, tastes, and interests, adjusting specifically to you.
You can enable or disable these cookies by checking the corresponding box, with them being disabled by default.
