What are cookies?

A cookie is a very small text file that a web server can store in a device's browser to allow some kind of information about the user to be stored. The cookie uniquely identifies the device and it can only be read by the website that sent it to the device.

A cookie is not an executable file or program so it cannot spread or contain a virus or any other malware and it cannot contain more than 4,000 characters.


What are cookies used for?

Cookies are used in order to remember the user's preferences (language, country, login, characteristics of their browser, information about use of our website, etc.).

For example, by remembering your preferences, we will not have to ask you about your country every time that you visit our website. We will know the characteristics of the operating system and browser of the device that you are using and this will allow us to offer you a better browsing experience.

Cookies can help our website to identify the browser of a user who is a previous visitor and, therefore, save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site, customise the home page, identify the sections of the site that they have visited and keep a record of items selected in the "shopping cart", among other things.

MAFRESA EL IBÉRICO DE CONFIANZA SL may use cookies in order to recognise users who have visited our website and allow us to offer them a better, more personalised service.
