What type of cookies do we use?
AENOR uses the following types of cookies on its pages:
Required cookies help to make a website usable by activating basic functions, such as browsing on the page and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
Statistical cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with the web pages, gathering and providing information anonymously.
Marketing cookies track a user across websites. The aim is to target advertising to a user (behavioural targeting), and they are therefore more valuable for editors and third-party advertisers.
Pixels are small graphic files that contain a unique identifier that lets us know when someone visited our website. This allows us, for example, to monitor visitor traffic patterns from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, determine if a visitor arrived correctly to the website from an online advertisement that is shown, as well as improve the performance of the website and measure the success of marketing campaigns.
While you may not be able to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many cases these technologies rely on cookies to function properly; consequently, in such cases, rejecting cookies will affect the functionality of these technologies.
How long are cookies activated for?
Depending on how long they are used for, cookies can either by session cookies or permanent cookies. The former expire when the user closes their browser. The latter expire when their objective has been met (e.g. the user staying identified on the website), or when they are deleted manually.
Who processes or manages the cookies?
The data collected in cookies can be managed either by AENOR or third parties.
Technical cookies (required) are created and managed solely by AENOR.
Analytical cookies use applications from third parties who provide a service to measure and analyse the audience of our web pages and video and document downloads, whilst facilitating and monitoring the connection and publication of content between the AENOR website and different social networks.
The third-party applications used by AENOR are Google and LinkedIn.
The information they obtain is related to the number of pages visited, the language, the social media on which our news is published, the region from which the page is accessed, the number of new users, the frequency, length and repetition of visits, the web browser and operator or type of terminal from which the visit is made.
These third-party applications may also use this information to improve their own services and offer services to other companies. You can get more information on the privacy policies of Oracle, Google and LinkedIn at the following links:
