Cookie Policy

CICAE – Asociación de Colegios Privados e Independientes hereby notifies users that cookies may be used when browsing the website’s screens and pages.

While using our website, you expressly accept and authorise the use of cookies, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are very small text files which a web server may place in a computer’s hard drive to store any type of information about users. Cookies identify the computer in a unique way and can only be read by the website which sent them to the computer.

Cookies are not executable files or programs and, therefore, they cannot spread or contain viruses or other malware and their length cannot exceed 4,000 characters.

What are cookies used for?

The sole purpose of using cookies is to remember user preferences (language, country, login sessions, browser features, information about how our website is used, etc.).

By remembering the preferences, we do not have to, for example, ask users about their country every time they visit our website. We will know the features about the computer being used and, therefore, we can provide a better browsing experience. Cookies can help our website to distinguish the user’s browser as a previous visitor and, therefore, save and remember the preferences which may have been established while the user browsed the website, customise the home pages, identify which parts of the website were visited and track the selections in a “shopping basket”.

CICAE – Asociación de Colegios Privados e Independientes can use the cookies to recognise the registered users and provide them with a better and more personalised service. Cookies can also be used to obtain information about the time and date of the user’s latest visit, measure some traffic parameters within the site itself and estimate the number of visits made so that CICAE – Asociación de Colegios Privados e Independientes can focus and adjust the services and promotions in a more effective way.

Websites usually use cookies to obtain statistical information about their pages. Remember that we gather data about your movements and use on our website for statistical and not personal purposes.

According to their purpose

  • Advertising cookies: cookies which allow the advertising space that the publisher has included on the website, application or platform used to provide the service to be used as efficiently as possible based on criteria such as edited content or how frequently advertisements are shown.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: cookies which allow the advertising space that the publisher has included on the website, application or platform used to provide the service to be used as efficiently as possible. These cookies store information about user behaviour collected by constantly monitoring their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed to display advertising accordingly.
