Cookies Policy

This website uses both first-party and third-party cookies to ensure a better browsing experience, enable content sharing on social networks, and allow us to obtain user statistics.

You can prevent cookies from being downloaded through your browser settings, preventing cookies from being stored on your device.

As the owner of this website, we inform you that we do not use any personal information derived from cookies; we only generate general visit statistics that do not involve any personal information.

It is very important that you read this Cookie Policy and understand that, if you continue browsing, we will consider that you accept their use.

According to the terms included in Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce, by continuing to browse, you consent to the use of these mechanisms.

The entity responsible for the collection, processing, and use of your personal data, in accordance with the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Law, is the website esdmadrid.es, owned by e/s/d Madrid – Camino de Vinateros, 106, 28030 Madrid.

Cookies are a set of data that a server places in the user’s browser in order to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behaviour information on a website. In other words, they are small text files stored on the computer’s hard drive and used to identify the user when reconnecting to the website. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and store certain information. Their use is common and widespread on the web, as they allow websites to function more efficiently and achieve greater personalisation and analysis of user behaviour.

The cookies used on our website are session cookies and third-party cookies, allowing us to store and access information related to language preferences, browser type, and other predefined user characteristics, as well as to monitor and analyse user activity in order to improve and provide services in a more efficient and personalised way.

Depending on their duration, cookies may be divided into session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser. Persistent cookies expire once the purpose for which they serve has been fulfilled (for example, to keep the user logged into e/s/d Madrid services) or when they are manually deleted.

Performance Cookies

This type of cookie remembers your preferences for tools available in services, so you do not need to reconfigure the service each time you visit. Examples include:
Volume settings for video or audio players
Video transmission speeds compatible with your browser
Items stored in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services such as online stores

Geolocation Cookies

These cookies are used to determine the country in which you are located when requesting a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor content to your location.

Registration Cookies

Registration cookies are generated once the user registers or subsequently logs in and are used to identify the user in services for the following purposes:

• Keeping the user logged in, so that if they close a service, browser, or computer and later return to the service, they remain identified, facilitating browsing without the need to log in again. This feature can be disabled if the user selects the [log out] function, which removes the cookie, meaning the next time the user accesses the service they will need to log in again
• Verifying whether the user is authorised to access certain services, for example, participating in a competition.

Additionally, some services may use integrations with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When a user registers for a service using social media credentials, they authorise the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and grants access to services until it expires. Users may delete this cookie and revoke access to services via social media by updating their preferences on the relevant social network.

Analytics Cookies

Whenever a user visits a service, a tool provided by an external provider generates an analytics cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will identify the visitor anonymously on future visits to e/s/d Madrid services. The main objectives are:

• To enable the anonymous identification of browsing users through cookies (identifying browsers and devices, not people), thereby estimating visitor numbers and trends over time.
• To anonymously identify the most visited and therefore most attractive content for users. To determine whether the user accessing the site is new or a returning visitor.

Important. Unless the user decides to register for an e/s/d Madrid service, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data capable of identifying them. These cookies are used solely for statistical purposes to help optimise the user experience on the website.

Advertising Cookies

These cookies make it possible to expand the information shown in advertisements displayed to each anonymous user of e/s/d Madrid services. Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of advertisement displays, interaction with ads, and browsing patterns and/or user behaviour, helping to create an advertising interest profile. This enables the delivery of advertising aligned with the user’s interests.

Third-Party Advertising Cookies

In addition to advertising managed directly by the e/s/d Madrid websites, e/s/d Madrid websites offer advertisers the option to serve advertisements through third parties («Ad-Servers»). These third parties may therefore store cookies sent from e/s/d Madrid services via users’ browsers and access the data stored in them.

Different browsers can be configured to notify users of the receipt of cookies and, if desired, prevent their installation on the device. Likewise, users can review which cookies are installed in their browser, their expiration period, and delete them if desired.
