Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

This website, whose ownership and rights correspond to Sharp & Sour CB (hereinafter, the
“website”), uses cookies and/or similar technologies to store and retrieve information when you browse. In general, these technologies serve different purposes, such as, for example, recognising you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits and customising the way content is displayed.

The user may set their browser to notify them about or reject the installation of cookies sent by the website without affecting access to the content of this website. Doing so, however, may decrease the website’s quality

The specific uses we make of these technologies are described below.

2. What types of cookies are there?

Cookies, based on their lifespan, may be divided into the following categories:

Session cookies: These cookies are designed to gather and store data while the user browses a webpage. They are generally used to store information that is only relevant for provision of the requested service. They expire when the user closes the browser.

Persistent cookies: These are cookies that remain on the device and may be accessed and processed for a definite period depending on when the purpose for which they are used is fulfilled (e.g. to keep the user identified in the system) or when they are deleted manually.

Based on ownership, they may be divided into the following categories:

First party cookies: These are cookies that are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the publisher and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third party cookies: These are cookies that are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor but by another company which processes the data that the cookies provide.

Cookies may also be classified as follows depending on their purpose:

Technical cookies: These are cookies that enable users to browse a webpage, platform or application and use the different options and services available, including those that the editor uses to manage the webpage, keep it operational and enable functions and services such as, for example, identifying the session or monitoring traffic and data communication.

Preference or personalisation cookies: This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, meaning that you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. Examples of this type of cookie include: volume settings for video or sound players; the video transmission speeds that are supported by your browser.

Geolocation cookies: These cookies are used to determine which country you are in when you request a service. They are completely anonymous and are only used to help adapt content to your location.

Registration cookies: Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently connects, and are used to identify them in the services for the following purposes:

To keep the user identified so that, if they exit a service, the browser or their computer, but re-enter the service at another time or on another day, they will continue to be identified, thus facilitating browsing by not having to identify themselves again. This feature may be deleted if the user clicks on the “close session” option. By deleting this cookie, the user will have to log in and identify themselves the next time they enter the service.

To check if the user is authorised to access certain services, e.g. to participate in a contest.

Analytical cookies: Every time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will serve during future visits to the website’s services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives of doing so are:

To allow for the anonymous identification of users browsing through the cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore provide an approximate count of the number of visitors and trends over time.

To anonymously identify the most visited content and, therefore, determine which content appeals most to users.

To determine whether the user who is accessing the website is new or a repeat visitor.

Important: Unless the user decides to register for a website service, the “cookie” will never be associated with any personal data that may identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help optimise the user’s experience on the website.

Behavioural cookies: This type of “cookie” allows advertising information shown to each anonymous user in the website’s services to be expanded. This includes the duration or frequency with which advertisements are viewed, the interaction with these advertisements and the user’s browsing and/or behavioural patterns, as they help to form a profile of advertising interest. They therefore make it possible to offer advertising related to the user’s interests.

Third-party advertising cookies: In addition to advertising managed through the website’s services, the website offers advertisers the option of serving advertisements through third parties (“AdServers”). This makes it possible for third parties to store cookies sent by the website’s services from the users’ browsers, as well as to access the data stored therein.

3. What cookies do we use?

We don’t explicitly use cookies on this website. However, the following may apply:

Technical cookies: Required for the proper functioning of the website.
Server cookies: These may be automatically implemented by WordPress or the hosting provider.

4. How can I disable cookies?
