COOKIE POLICY

WWW.OVERLAYON.COM informs about the use of cookies on its website: WWW.OVERLAYON.COM

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in providing many information society services. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user browsing habits or their device and, depending on the information obtained, they can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

  • First-party cookies: those sent to the user device from equipment or a domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: those sent to the user device from equipment or a domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

If cookies are installed from equipment or a domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the length of time they remain stored in the client browser, which may be:

  • Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for providing the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of purchased products).
  • Persistent cookies: data remains stored in the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie owner, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with five types of cookies depending on the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:

  • Technical cookies: those that allow the user to navigate through a web page, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist in it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in an order, carrying out the purchase process for an order, submitting a request for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the diffusion of videos or audio, or sharing content through social networks.
  • Personalization cookies: allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined based on a series of criteria on the user device such as language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional configuration from which the service is accessed, etc.
  • Analytics cookies: allow the owner of these cookies to track and analyze the behavior 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 the users of those sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of usage data that users make of the service.
  • Advertising cookies: allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: store information about user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to show advertising based on it.
  • External social media cookies: used so visitors can interact with content from different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and that are generated only for users of those social networks. The conditions of use of these cookies and the information collected are regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.

Cookies used on WWW.OVERLAYON.COM

Below, the cookies that are being used on this portal are identified, as well as their type and function:

Analytics cookies: each time a User visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytics Cookie on the user computer. This Cookie, which is only generated on the visit, will be used on future visits to the Web Services to identify the visitor anonymously. The main objectives are:

  • Allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the Cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
  • Identify anonymously the most visited content and therefore the most attractive to users.
  • Know whether the user who is accessing is new or returning.

Registration cookies: registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or has subsequently opened a session, and are used to identify the user in the services with the following objectives:

  • Keep the user identified so that if the user closes a service, the browser or computer and at another time or another day returns to that service, the user will remain identified, making navigation easier without having to log in again. This functionality can be removed if the user clicks the "log out" functionality, so that this cookie is deleted and the next time the user enters the service the user will have to log in to be identified.
  • Check whether the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.
