COOKIES POLICY
Welcome to the COOKIES POLICY of the website of the entity MAD COOL FESTIVAL SL, with NIF B87381042, where we will explain in clear and simple language all the necessary questions 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 saved 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 can damage your device, but it does have some impact on your right to the protection of your personal data since it collects certain information about you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
That is why, 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 that, we will give you some additional information that will help you make better decisions in this regard:
- Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function, they do not need your authorization and are the only ones we have activated by default.
- The rest of the cookies serve to improve our website, to personalize it based on your preferences, or to be able to show you advertising adjusted to your searches, tastes, and personal interests. You can accept all these cookies by clicking the ACCEPT button, reject them by clicking the REJECT button, or configure them by clicking on the COOKIES CONFIGURATION section.
2. 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 that you know that some of these external providers may be located outside of Spain.
Globally, not all countries have the same level of data protection, with some countries being safer than others (for example, the European Union is a safe environment for your data). Our policy is to use trusted providers who, regardless of whether they are located within the European Union or not, have adopted appropriate guarantees for the protection of your personal information. However, in the section entitled "What types of cookies are currently used on our website?", you can consult the different Privacy and Data Protection Policies of each of the aforementioned external providers to make an informed decision about the activation or not of the third-party cookies used on our website.
3. Finally, please note that, depending on the duration of their activation, cookies can be of two types:
- Session cookies: they expire automatically when you end the session on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. They are usually used to retain the information necessary while a service is provided on a single occasion.
- Persistent cookies: they remain stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet for a specified period, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
