Simply visiting our website does not mean that you are providing us with any personal data, nor are you obliged to do so.
However, we must inform you that, in order to function correctly and provide you with a better service, Vitium Pistachios uses or activates various cookies.
1. What is a cookie?
We understand cookies as the set of characters that are stored on a user’s hard drive or temporary memory when accessing certain websites.
What types of cookies are there?
There are different types of cookies, depending on the service they provide:
According to the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, we can distinguish between:
Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist on it such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, registering or participating in an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio broadcasting or sharing content via social networks.
Personalisation cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some general predefined features based on a series of criteria on the user’s device such as language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional configuration from where the service is accessed, etc.
Analytics cookies: These allow their owner to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms and to create browsing profiles of users of said sites, applications and platforms, in order to make improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of service users.
Advertising cookies: These allow the most efficient possible management of advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the editor has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency at which the ads are shown.
Behavioural advertising cookies: These allow the most efficient possible management of advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the editor has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on said profile.
What level of intrusion do they produce?
Depending on the type of cookies used, different types of data are also obtained, and therefore, the level of intrusion varies. We can establish three levels of intrusion:
Level 1 or non-intrusive cookies: These are login cookies on sites with registered users, shopping carts, display preferences… they are inherent to the system and blocking them would prevent the use of the requested services. (technical, personalisation)
Level 2 or minimally intrusive: These are first-party cookies linked to third-party services, such as analytics and statistics. An example could be the cookies used by Google Analytics or Yahoo Web Analytics. (analytics)
Level 3 or moderately intrusive: Provided, managed and used by third parties to obtain data for advertising placements (banners) or for the use of social content (social network plugins) and must be expressly authorised by the user. In the case of social cookies, consent is given on the respective social network sites. (advertising, behavioural advertising)
What cookies does our website collect?
The user accepts the use of cookies and IP tracking. Our website traffic analyser uses cookies and IP tracking that allow us to collect statistical data such as: date of the first visit, number of times visited, date of the last visit, URL and domain of origin, browser used and screen resolution.
Below, we provide a list of cookies generated by www.vitiumpistachios.com and their level of intrusion, so that you can see that we only use the necessary cookies to provide the service, and the level of intrusion is as minimal as possible. In addition to the cookies generated by www.vitiumpistachios.com, there may be third-party cookies, generated by the browser itself, operating system, traffic monitoring tools, etc.
In any case, these cookies are NON-INTRUSIVE but we cannot specify all of them since it depends on which operating system or browser the user accesses the website from. If at any time we detect the presence of cookies with a HIGH intrusion PROFILE, we will inform you accordingly, expressly requesting your consent to use them during your browsing.
5. Can I configure my browser to prevent the installation of cookies?
Yes, you have the option to configure your browser to be notified on screen of the reception of cookies and to prevent the installation of cookies on your hard drive. However, we do not recommend this as you may lose some functionality, be unable to access different parts of the website or benefit from some of our services. One of the main advantages is the convenience of not having to re-enter your data each time you log into your profile on our website.
The way you must configure it will depend on your browser’s features. You can restrict, block or delete cookies from any website, through your browser. Instructions for each one are as follows:
In the case of cookies activated by the Google Analytics tool, we provide the information on these cookies directly from the developer’s website – click here.
In the case of external social network cookies used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms and which are only generated for users of such networks, the conditions for using these cookies and the information collected are regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
