Cookies Policy

At Xany Stones, we use cookies to provide a better service and enhance your browsing experience. We want to inform you clearly, transparently, and concisely about the cookies we use, detailing below what cookies are, what they are used for, what types of cookies we use, their purposes, and how you can configure or disable them if you wish.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a small file that is downloaded to your computer, mobile device (smartphones, tablets, etc.), or any other device containing information about your browsing activity when you access certain websites or mobile applications. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user's browsing habits or their device, and, depending on the information they contain and how you use your device, they can be used to recognize the user.

The combined data from all our users' cookies helps us improve the quality of our website, allowing us to monitor which pages are useful, which are not, and which can be improved. Cookies are essential for the functioning of the internet, providing countless advantages in the delivery of interactive services and making our website easier to navigate and use. Cookies will never harm your computer or mobile device.

Cookies do not personally identify you and pose no risk to your computer or mobile device. They are not viruses or spyware. They are simply tools used by the websites you visit to improve your browsing experience, ensure your data travels securely across the network, help us understand which information on our website is most useful to our users, and identify offers that may be of interest to each user. All of this is done completely anonymously: we will never know your name, address, or phone number unless you provide them to us. You decide whether or not to allow the installation of our cookies.

Furthermore, please note that if you choose not to allow the use of cookies, some website features may not function correctly, and we will not be able to tailor the information we offer to your interests. However, refusing cookies will not prevent you from accessing and using the basic functions of our website.

We also want to inform you that, in accordance with European and Spanish regulations on privacy and cookies, there are cookies that require user consent (e.g., analysis or measurement cookies and behavioral advertising cookies), and others that are exempt from consent (e.g., technical cookies or those necessary for the provision of services expressly requested by the user).

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

 

According to the entity that manages them, cookies can be:

• First-party cookies: These are those that are sent to your device from our own devices or domains and from which we provide the service you request.
• Third-party cookies: These are those that are sent to your device from a computer or domain that is not managed by us, but by another collaborating entity (third party).

 

Depending on the length of time they remain active:

• Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser's cookie file until you leave the website, so none are stored on your computer's hard drive or mobile device's memory. The information obtained through these cookies is used to analyze website traffic patterns. Ultimately, this allows us to provide a better user experience by improving content and making it easier to use.
• Persistent cookies: These are cookies stored on your computer's hard drive or your mobile device's memory, and we can access their information for a defined period of time, depending on the type of cookie. Persistent cookies will stop working once their expiration date has arrived, or if you withdraw your consent before then.

 

According to their purpose:

• Technical cookies : These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website. They allow, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, accessing restricted areas, using security features, storing content to play videos, or sharing content through social networks.

• Preference or personalization cookies : These are cookies that allow you to access the service with predefined characteristics based on a series of criteria, such as language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional settings from which the service is accessed, etc.

• Analytics or measurement cookies : These are cookies that, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to quantify the number of users who visit our website and thus perform statistical analysis of how users use the service offered. They can also be used to quantify the impact of displayed advertisements.

• Behavioral advertising cookies: These are cookies that store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of browsing habits, allowing us to develop a specific profile to display advertising based on this profile. These cookies enable us to show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
