“Cookies” allow Internet-related service providers to store and retrieve data about users stored on their devices.

When Internet service providers use cookies, they must obtain users’ consent after clearly and comprehensively informing them about their use and purpose, particularly regarding data processing purposes, in accordance with Organic Law 15/1999 of December 13 on the Protection of Personal Data and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
