WHY DO WE USE COOKIES AND PROCESS BROWSING DATA?

 

On this website, www.universalhotels.es, we use cookies. If you use our website without proceeding to deactivate cookies, you express your consent to their installation.

 

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a file that websites transfer to the equipment connected to them. While often the purposes of cookies are only technical, they also 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 the user uses their computer, they can be used to identify them. There are cookies that are controlled and managed by the owner of the website (these are called “personal cookies”) and others by third parties (these are known as “third party cookies”), for example, because they provide a tool or functionality built-in to the website. Certain cookies are cancelled once you have finished browsing on the website (session cookies), whereas others may continue to be stored on users’ equipment and be accessed for a longer period of time (persistent cookies).

 

What types of cookies do we use and why?

On this website, we use the following types of cookies:

 

1. Technical or indispensable cookies for the provision of services

We use technical cookies in order to be able to provide the services requested by our users.

On this website, we determine the approximate location of our users to show the origin closest to them, such as the airport. This location is deduced from the analysis of their IP address and the location of their Internet provider and, therefore, does not allow us at any time to know where they are exactly.
