What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file that is stored on a user’s computer, mobile phone or tablet when accessing certain websites, applications or platforms, and which enables them to recognize their users.

Cookies are currently essential to the functioning of the Internet, providing numerous benefits in the provision of interactive services and making browsing and usability easier.

Cookies help websites, applications and platforms adapt to users’ personal needs.

Cookies cannot damage your device. On the contrary, enabling cookies can help identify and resolve errors, as well as improve the user’s browsing experience.

Among other things, cookies make it possible to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing preferences or device.

This website, application or platform uses cookies and/or similar technologies that store and retrieve information when you browse. In general, these technologies may be used for a wide variety of purposes, such as recognizing you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits or personalizing the way content is displayed. The specific uses we make of these technologies are described below.

What cookies do we use?

Cookie owners

Use of cookies

Technical cookies

We use technical cookies that are strictly necessary for users to access and browse pamelasmithstudio.com.

These cookies allow users to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available through it, including those used to manage and operate the website and enable its functions and services.

For example, these cookies may be used to control traffic and data communication, identify sessions, access restricted areas, remember the items included in an order, process a purchase, manage payments, prevent fraud related to the security of the service, process registration or participation in an event, count visits for the purposes of software licence billing, use security elements while browsing, store content for video or audio playback, enable dynamic content —such as loading animations for text or images— or allow content to be shared via social networks.

This category also includes, due to their technical nature, cookies that enable the most efficient management possible of advertising spaces included by the publisher on a website, application or platform as part of the design or layout of the service provided to the user, based on criteria such as the content displayed, without collecting user information for other purposes, such as personalizing advertising or other content.

These cookies do not require the user’s informed consent.

Preference or personalization cookies

We use preference or personalization cookies, whether processed by us or by third parties, which allow us to remember information so that users can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users.

Examples include language, the number of results displayed when performing a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used to access it, or the region from which the user accesses the service.

These cookies may require the user’s informed consent, unless the user personally selects these characteristics, for example by choosing the language of a website by clicking on the corresponding country flag.

Analytics or measurement cookies

We use analytics or measurement cookies, whether processed by us or by third parties, which allow us to monitor and analyze the behaviour of users of the websites with which they are associated, including measuring the impact of advertisements.

The information collected through these cookies is used to measure activity on websites, applications or platforms in order to introduce improvements to the products or services offered based on an analysis of how users interact with the service.

These cookies require the user’s informed consent.

Behavioural advertising cookies

We use behavioural advertising cookies, whether processed by us or by third parties, which store information about users’ behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits.

This information makes it possible to create specific user browsing profiles in order to display advertising based on those profiles.

These cookies require the user’s informed consent.

Cookie retention periods

Session cookies

We use session cookies, which are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website.

They are normally used to store information that only needs to be retained for the provision of a service requested by the user on a single occasion, such as a list of purchased products, and disappear when the session ends.

Persistent cookies

We use persistent cookies, which are cookies in which data remains stored on the user’s device and may be accessed and processed for a period determined by the party responsible for the cookie, ranging from a few minutes to several years.

Information obtained through cookies will not be disclosed to third parties or used for unsolicited communications.
