Cookie policy

This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies www.aico.es uses, what they are for and how you can decide about them. It complies with Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 (LSSI-CE) and follows the Spanish Data Protection Agency’s “Guide on the use of cookies” (July 2023).

The party responsible for the website is AICO ASESORES INTERNACIONALES DE CONGRESOS, S.L. (AICO Event Production), tax ID (CIF) B07591126. You can see all our details in the legal notice.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser to remember information about your visit. There are similar technologies, such as the browser’s local storage (localStorage), which serve the same purpose and to which the same rules apply. In this policy we use “cookies” to refer to all of them.

Depending on their purpose, they can be:

• Technical or preference cookies: necessary for the website to work or to remember options you choose. They do not require your consent.
• Analytics cookies: they let us count visits and see how the website is used so we can improve it. They are only used if you accept them.

This website does not use advertising cookies or social media tracking cookies.

Which cookies we use

Name	Provider	Purpose	Duration	Type
aico-paleta	AICO (www.aico.es)	Remembering whether you prefer to see the website in light or dark mode. It is stored in the browser’s local storage only when you press the palette switch button	Until you delete the browser data	First-party, preferences (exempt from consent)
aico-consentimiento	AICO (www.aico.es)	Remembering whether you have accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we do not ask you on every visit. It is stored in the browser’s local storage	12 months	First-party, technical (exempt from consent)
_ga	Google Ireland Limited (Google Analytics)	Distinguishing users anonymously to produce visit statistics	2 years	Third-party, analytics (requires consent)
_ga_<ID>	Google Ireland Limited (Google Analytics)	Maintaining the session state for visit statistics	2 years	Third-party, analytics (requires consent)

Google Analytics cookies are installed on the aico.es domain, but they are managed by Google, which is why we list them as third-party.

The website’s fonts, images and videos are hosted on our own server, so loading them does not install third-party cookies. The links to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube are simple links: nothing is loaded from those platforms until you click them, and from then on their own cookie policies apply.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, from Google Ireland Limited, to find out how many people visit the website, which pages they view and from what type of device. We use this data only in aggregate form, to improve the website.

Google Analytics is only loaded if you accept analytics cookies. If you reject them or choose nothing, none of its cookies is loaded or installed. We manage it with Google’s consent mode (Consent Mode v2). Google Analytics 4 does not log or store visitors’ full IP addresses.

Google may process this data in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and applies standard contractual clauses. More information in the privacy policy and in Google’s information on how it uses data from sites that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

How to accept, reject or change your choice

The first time you visit the website we show you a notice in which you can accept or reject analytics cookies, or configure them. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and the website works the same either way.

You can change your mind whenever you like from the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page. If you withdraw your consent, Google Analytics stops loading from that moment. To delete cookies that have already been installed, follow the steps in the next section.

We keep your choice for 12 months. After that time, or if we change the cookies we use, we will ask you again.

How to delete or block cookies in your browser

You can also delete or block cookies and website data from your browser settings. The menus may vary slightly depending on the version:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies, or Delete browsing data.
• Safari (Mac): Safari > Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data. On iPhone and iPad: Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data or Manage Data.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data, and Settings > Cookies and site permissions.

Deleting site data also removes the preferences stored in local storage, such as light or dark mode and your choice about cookies. If you block all cookies, some functions of the website may stop remembering your preferences.

To prevent Google Analytics from recording your visits on any website, Google offers a browser opt-out add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Changes to this policy

We will update this policy if the cookies we use or the regulations change. The date of the last update appears at the top of this page.
