What are cookies?
A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer or the device you use (smartphone, tablet, connected television, etc.) when you access certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their computer and, depending on the information they contain and the way in which they use their equipment, they can be used to recognize the user.
A cookie is stored on a computer or device, in order to identify the browser as it interacts with our websites or applications. A website may set a cookie on the browser if the browser’s preferences allow it. A browser only allows a website to access the cookies it sets, not those set by other websites.
Third-party cookies are used on Alu-Stock’s websites and applications, which allow anonymous statistical data to be collected on the visits received in order to monitor the advertising campaigns that may be in force at the time of the visit.
Why are they important?
- From a technical point of view, they allow websites to work in a more agile way and adapted to user preferences, such as storing the language, the currency of the country or detecting the access device.
- They establish levels of protection and security that prevent or hinder cyberattacks against the website or its users.
- They allow media managers to know statistical data collected in Cookies to improve the quality and experience of their services.
- They serve to optimize the advertising we show to users, offering the one that best suits their interests.

- Advertising cookies: These are those that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which it provides the requested service based on criteria such as the content edited or the frequency in which the advertisements are displayed.
