COOKIE POLICY
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files generated on the user’s computer and allow us to know the frequency of visits, the most selected content, and the security elements that may be used to control access to restricted areas, as well as the display of advertising based on criteria predefined by GECKO VILLAS REAL ESTATE, S.L. and are activated by cookies served by said entity or by third parties that provide these services on behalf of GECKO VILLAS REAL ESTATE, S.L.
As a general rule, there are the following types of cookies.
Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:
· First-party cookies: those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third-party cookies: those sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.
There is also a second classification based on the length of time they remain stored in the client’s browser. These may include:
Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that is only necessary to retain for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).
Persistent cookies: The data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies depending on the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:
Technical Cookies: Technical or necessary cookies are essential for our website to function correctly and include basic functionalities such as identifying the session or granting registered users access to restricted areas. For these reasons, technical cookies cannot be deactivated.

Statistical Cookies: We use statistical cookies to see how you interact with the website, gathering anonymous information while you browse. The purpose of collecting this information is to make improvements to the website based on the analysis of aggregated data.
