POLIMERBIO, S.L. informs users, through this notice, that it may use cookies when the user browses the different screens and pages of the site.
Through the banner on the main screen of our website, you can accept or reject the use of cookies, in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept cookies, only the minimum necessary for the operation of the website will be installed.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a very small text file that a Web server can save in a computer’s browser to store some type of information about the user. The cookie uniquely identifies the computer and can only be read by the website that sent it to the computer.
A cookie is not an executable file or a program and therefore cannot spread or contain a virus or other malicious software, nor can it have a length exceeding 4,000 characters.
What are cookies used for?
The use of cookies is intended to remember user preferences (language, country, login, characteristics of their browser, information on the use of our website, etc.).
By remembering their preferences, we won’t have to ask, for example, for their country every time they visit our website. We will know the operating system and browser characteristics of the device being used, allowing us to offer a better browsing experience.
Cookies can help our website distinguish the user’s browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember the preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site, personalize home pages, identify which sections of a site have been visited, or keep a record of selections in a “shopping cart,” among other uses.
POLIMERBIO, S.L. may use cookies to recognize users who have accessed our website and offer them a better and more personalized service. They can also be used to obtain information about the date and time of the user’s last visit, measure some traffic parameters within the site itself, and estimate the number of visits made, so that POLIMERBIO, S.L. can focus and adjust services and promotions more effectively.
Normally, websites use cookies to obtain statistical information about their web pages. Note that we collect data about your movements and use of our website as statistical, non-personal data.

According to their lifespan:
Session cookies: These collect data while the user is browsing the website.
Persistent cookies: These are those in which the data is still stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
According to their purpose:
Technical cookies: These are used internally and are necessary for the operation of the website.
Analytical cookies: These allow the collection of statistical information about user activity. This information is collected anonymously and allows optimization of navigation on our website to ensure better service to the user.

Behavioral advertising cookies: These allow the most effective management possible of the advertising spaces that the editor may have included on a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided.

Purposes of cookies.
Below is a list of the cookies that you may find on our website and a brief description of their purpose. We assure you that none of them retains personally identifiable information about you. Some cookies customize your visit, others remember your preferences, while others only provide us with statistics about visitors.
POLIMERBIO, S.L. uses local storage cookies, which we understand to be any file created by the website on your browsing device. Cookies are a form of local storage, but there are others. It is important that you know them so that you can prevent their use or delete the information stored on your device:
- Browser local storage. Some websites use local storage called “sessionStorage” and “localStorage” to save information. “SessionStorage” is automatically deleted when you close the browser program, but to delete “localStorage,” you must clear the browser history.
Additionally, your browser may also automatically store information on your device, such as:
Browsing history. It contains a list of pages you have previously visited.
Form and password memory. Many browsers memorize the data you enter in web forms (e.g., your email, credit card number, or login password) so that you do not have to enter them again.
Browser cache, which contains a copy of previously visited pages to speed up their display if you access them again later. Browsing history, browser memory, and cache are beyond our control. It is important to delete all this information if you use a device that is not yours (e.g., someone else’s smartphone or a public computer).
www.polimerbio.com uses its own cookies, belonging to that domain, to respond to your request for information.
If you want to disable the accepted cookies, either from our banner or at the top left of the website, in the padlock, we access website cookies, then Manage site cookies and data, and there you can enable or disable the use of these.
