Use of Cookies

Effective as of 18th January 2022

As mentioned in our Privacy Policy we use cookies and related technologies (collectively referred to as “cookies”) to provide you with the information accessible through our website. 

This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies.

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file consisting of a string of characters that can be placed on your computer or mobile device that uniquely identifies your browser or your device. This recognition helps the efficient operation of our site and Services.

We use both session cookies and persistent cookies.

• We use a session cookie to identify you during a particular visit to the Balnei & Colina website. Session cookies expire after a short time, or when you close your web browser.

These technologies help us understand how our Services are being used, help you navigate our website, help remember your preferences, and generally improve your experience in using our website. Cookies can also help ensure marketing you might see online is more relevant to you and your interests.

What cookies and related technologies do you use and why?

We mainly use cookies and related technologies to make our Services work and to improve our products. Some of the technologies we use include:

• IP address: IP address is the short form for Internet Protocol address which is assigned by internet access providers to every computer that is connected to the internet. Website owners have access to IP addresses of their users. Using IP addresses, we and our partners can identify the country, state and city from which a computer is connecting to the Internet. IP addresses are, for example, used for IP geo-location purposes, e.g. by Google Analytics.
• Device identifiers: We may also collect unique device identifiers so that we can identify your device. 

We use cookies to make our service work:

• To authenticate you and secure our Services: We use cookies to identify you, and monitor login data. This allows us to know, for example, whether you are logged in and from where. It also helps us to detect and stop fraud, as well as spam and illegal use. 
• To remember your settings and preferences: We use cookies to recognise your browser and remember your preferences.
• To improve performance: We use cookies to provide the best experience on our website. For example, we use cookies to speed up the loading of our Services. 
• To conduct analytics: We use Google Analytics cookies, including a cookie provided by Google Analytics, to collect anonymous traffic data to help us analyse how members and visitors access our website, and for other Analytics services relating to website activity and internet usage.

How long do cookies last?

The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies stay on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted.

First and third party cookies

First-party cookies are cookies that belong to Balnei & Colina, third-party cookies are cookies that another party places on your device through our service to you. Third-party cookies may be placed on your device by someone providing a service for Balnei & Colina, for example, to help us understand how our service is being used. Third-party cookies may also be placed on your device by our business partners so that they can use them to advertise products and services to you elsewhere on the internet.

As with any business, we may change or work with different partners from time to time.

How to refuse the use of cookies

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, if you do this you won't have access to many features that may make your browsing of our website and use of our services smoother, and some of our services may not function properly.

If you want to opt out of specific third-party cookies, please follow the links provided, consult the third party’s website or privacy policy as well as the cookie settings on your browser.

We use Google Analytics Advertising Features to promote our Services. Google and other third parties collect data about traffic to this site via advertising cookies and identifiers. This enables us to display ads on other sites that are relevant to you, based on your previous visits to our website.

If you click on links and banners on our sites that take you to third-party websites, you will be subject to that third-party's privacy policies. While we support the protection of privacy on the internet, we cannot be held responsible for the actions of any third-party websites.
