Cookies Policy

QUILABAN – QUÍMICA LABORATORIAL ANALÍTICA, S.A. (“Quilaban”) uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and ensure the correct functioning of our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what they are used for, which types we use, and how you can manage them.

This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy. 

1. What are cookies? 

Cookies are software files that websites install on users' browsers or devices (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) while they browse different web pages, and which are used to store information about users' visits to the website. Cookies do not contain information that directly identifies you, such as personal data.


2. What are cookies for?

The use of cookies enables browsing to be optimised by tailoring the information and services offered to users' interests, so as to personalise, adapt, and improve users' browsing experience each time they visit the website. They are also used for statistical analyses that help improve performance and the services provided.


3. Types and purposes of cookies

Cookies may be classified as either (i) session cookies or (ii) persistent cookies. The first type of cookie expires when the user closes the browser. The second type of cookie expires when its purpose has been fulfilled (for example, identifying the user on the website) or when they are manually disabled.

In terms of purpose, cookies may be classified as follows:

  1. Strictly necessary cookies (registration): essential for the website to function correctly. They are typically generated when users access the website or log in, and are used to identify users on the website, with the following purposes:
    1. Keeping the user identified so that, when they leave the website and return later, they can still be recognised, making browsing easier without the need to log in again;
    2. Verifying that users are authorised to access certain areas or services of the website.
  2. Performance and analytics cookies: used to measure and analyse how the website is used (for example, which pages are most visited), on an anonymous basis. These cookies help to improve the performance of the website.
  3. Functionality cookies: these allow the website to save your preferences (such as language or region), providing a more personalised experience.
  4. Advertising cookies: used to display adverts that are relevant to your interests and to limit the number of times you see a particular advert. They help to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. 


4. Disabling the use of cookies

All browsers allow users to accept, refuse, or delete cookies, in particular by selecting the appropriate settings in their browser. The User can set cookies in their browser’s ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu.

However, it is important to note that disabling cookies may prevent certain web services from functioning correctly, affecting browsing on the website either wholly or in part.

Accordingly, if you disable cookies, some website functions and services may not work correctly or may behave unexpectedly. For example, you may be unable to log in to secure areas or have your preferences remembered, which may adversely affect your browsing experience.

Users may disable the use of cookies on this website at any time by changing their browser settings, for example:
