1. WHAT IS A COOKIE?

A cookie is a file that is installed in the browser of your device (computer, mobile phone, etc.) to store and retrieve data. Depending on how they are configured, cookies can serve a variety of purposes, such as storing preferences, collecting usage statistics, enabling technical functions, etc. 

2. WHO IS THE DATA CONTROLLER?

The party responsible for the processing of the information collected through cookies is TREE-NATION ASBL. ("TREE-NATION"), with VAT number BE0727828810 and address at Avenue Louise 367, 1050, Brussels (Belgium).

3. WHAT DATA IS COLLECTED THROUGH COOKIES?

When you access the Site, even if you have not registered, the following information is collected through cookies:

  • Device information: When you use the Site, we collect information about the mobile device from which you access the Site. The information we collect is the device model, operating system and version, unique device identifier and network.
  • Information about your location: We also collect your IP address, time zone and which mobile service provider (if any) allows us to obtain a general location.
  • User browsing information: We collect information about your use of the Site. In particular, the frequency of use, the sections you visit, the use of certain features, etc. 

4. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?

Depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:

  1. Technical cookies: These cookies are essential for browsing the site and allow basic functions such as moving from one section to another. They are responsible for technical aspects such as the identification of profiles or sessions and the management of tool preferences for the use, interaction, and location of access to content. Also included in this category, due to their technical nature, are the cookies that allow the most efficient management of the advertising spaces contained in the Site, without collecting user information for other purposes, such as the personalisation of this advertising content or other content.
  2. Statistical cookies: These cookies measure and collect statistical information about the user's use of the Site, such as time spent on the Site, number of visits or content viewed. This information allows us to understand how users interact with the Site, evaluate the performance of the Site, and determine which pages, or sections of the Site are most or least visited, including quantifying the impact of advertisements placed on the Site (if any). This information may be used to correct errors, and improve the design of the Site or the content offered through the Site.
  3. Preference or personalisation cookies: Preference cookies allow the Site to remember information about the user so that the user can access the service with certain features that may differentiate their experience from that of other users. For example, your preferred language or the region from which you access the service, the number of results to be displayed when you perform a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of device from which you access the service. 
  4. Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies allow the management of advertising spaces that, where appropriate, may be included on the Site. However, the management of advertising spaces is based on the user's browsing profile. These cookies store information on the user’s browsing habits obtained through continuous monitoring of the user’s browsing habits, in order to develop a specific user profile, so that the advertisements that appear in these advertising spaces can be personalised for the user according to these habits.

Depending on the body that manages them:

  1. First-party cookies: are those that are sent to the user's device from a computer or domain managed by the party responsible for the Site, in this case, TREE-NATION, and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  2. Third-party cookies: these are those that are sent to the user's device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the party responsible for the Site, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

Depending on how long they remain activated:

Depending on how long they remain activated in the device, we can distinguish between:

  1. Session cookies: These are used to collect and store data during the time the user is browsing the Site and are deactivated at the end of the session.
  2. Persistent cookies: These store data and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
