The purpose of this cookie policy is to inform you clearly and precisely about the cookies used on the Ministry of the Presidency's website.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of text that a website you visit sends to your browser. It allows the website to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language and other settings, in order to facilitate your next visit and make the site more useful to you. Cookies play a very important role and contribute to a better user experience.

Types of cookies

Depending on the entity managing the domain from which the cookies are sent and the data obtained is processed, two types can be distinguished: first-party cookies and third-party cookies.

There is also a second classification based on the length of time they remain stored in the client's browser; these may be session cookies or persistent cookies.

Finally, there is another classification with five types of cookies depending on the purpose for which the data obtained is processed: technical cookies, personalization cookies, analytical cookies, advertising cookies, and behavioral advertising cookies.

For more information on this matter, please consult the Spanish Data Protection Agency's Guide on the Use of Cookies.

Cookies used on the website

The cookies used on this website, along with their type and function, are identified below:

The Ministry of the Presidency's website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service developed by Google, which allows for the measurement and analysis of website navigation. You may see cookies from this service in your browser. Depending on the type of cookies mentioned above, these cookies are first-party, session, and analytics cookies.

Web analytics collects information about the number of users accessing the website, the number of pages viewed, the frequency and repetition of visits, their duration, the browser used, the operator providing the service, the language, the device used, and the city to which the IP address is assigned. This information enables this portal to provide better and more appropriate service.

To ensure anonymity, Google will anonymize your information by truncating your IP address before storing it. This prevents Google Analytics from being used to track or collect personally identifiable information about site visitors. Google may only transfer the information collected by Google Analytics to third parties when legally required to do so. In accordance with the Google Analytics terms of service, Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

Another cookie downloaded is a technical cookie called JSESSIONID. This cookie stores a unique identifier per session, which can be used to link the data needed to enable ongoing browsing.

Finally, a technical, session-based cookie called show_cookies is downloaded. It manages user consent for the use of cookies on the website, remembering which users have accepted them and those who have not, so that the former are not shown information about them at the top of the page.
