COOKIES POLICY

This Cookies Policy is an integral part of the Legal Notice and Privacy Policy of the online platform (hereinafter, the "Website") available on the web page located at the URL www.allergenservilab.com.  

In order to facilitate navigation of the Website, ALLERGEN SERVILAB S.A. (hereinafter, "ALLERGEN"), with Tax Identification Number: B-87925905 and registered office at c/Aldehuela. La Horcajada, Ávila (Spain), uses data storage and retrieval devices: cookies, pixels or technologies with similar functionalities (hereinafter, "DARDS").

In this regard, and with the aim of guaranteeing the user (hereinafter, the "User" or "Users" as appropriate) all the information necessary for proper navigation, ALLERGEN provides the following information text on what DARDS are, what type of DARDS exist on the Website and how they can be configured or disabled.

1. What are DARDS?
   
   Cookies, pixels or similar technologies are considered web tools that allow storing and retrieving information from Users in order to offer them a better experience in the use and browsing of the Website.
   
   In this sense, DARDS fulfil different functionalities depending on their nature and the way in which they are implemented on the Website.
   
   Based on the above, we will proceed to explain in detail the DARDS used on the Website:

1. Cookies
   
   A cookie can be defined as a small text file or device of general use that is downloaded onto the User's terminal equipment when browsing the Website in order to store data that can be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for its installation to improve browsing and the User's experience. Currently, all websites, regardless of the service they provide, use DARDS, i.e. they store a minimum amount of information on the use made by the User.
   
   
2. Píxeles and similar technologies
   
   Pixels are DARDS introduced on the Website, usually by inserting a small piece of source code that allow the Website to transfer and/or collect information by means of a request to the server linked to this pixel. The purpose of this tool is varied, and they can be used in combination with cookies to monitor the traffic generated on the website..

2. Types of DARDS used by the Website:
   
   Third party DARDS are used on the Website. If DARDS are stored on the User's device for a certain period of time, they may be considered session (if they expire when the User leaves the Website) or persistent (if the expiry of the DARDS lasts longer). The DARDS used on the Website are:

1. Technical.
   
   These are those DARDS that are strictly necessary for browsing the Website, as they enable the User to use its features or tools, such as, for example, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchasing process, among others. Without these, the aforementioned functions would be disabled, making it very complicated or impossible to browse the Website.
   
   
2. Analysis.
   
   These are those DARDS that allow the person responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the Users of the Website. The information collected is used to measure the activity of the Website and for the elaboration of browsing profiles of the Users, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the data on the use made by the Users of the service.
