In compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Organic Law 3/2018 on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD), Vircell informs users about the use of cookies on our websites.
What are cookies and why do we use them?
Cookies are small files that are downloaded to a user’s device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) when visiting a Vircell website. These files are then stored on the device and allow the site to remember information about the visit, such as preferences, language settings, frequently visited sections, or—if the user chooses—their login details.
Cookies and similar technologies help make Vircell’s websites easier to use by improving service, tailoring content to user preferences, compiling statistics, analyzing trends, and managing or enhancing overall performance. Please note that some website features may not work properly without essential cookies or similar technologies.
In addition to cookies, Vircell may use other technologies such as web beacons (also known as tracking pixels or transparent GIFs) to understand, for example, whether an email has been opened or how many times a page has been visited. These tools are used exclusively for statistical, security, or service quality purposes, always in compliance with applicable regulations and following protection measures aligned with the Spanish National Security Scheme (ENS).
Types of cookies used on Vircell websites
Session cookies
These are temporary and deleted automatically once the browser is closed. They allow smoother navigation between pages and keep certain features active during the session (for example, remembering data entered in forms while moving through different pages). They are essential to ensure proper functioning during each visit.
Persistent cookies
These remain stored on the device for a defined period of time or until manually deleted by the user. They make it possible to remember information between visits, such as login details, language preferences, or shopping cart contents. They provide a faster and more personalized user experience on future visits.
Necessary or technical cookies
These are essential for the basic functioning of the website. Without them, certain sections or services may not work properly. For example, they allow secure login, keep sessions active, or process online orders. These cookies do not require consent, as they are strictly necessary.
Analytical or performance cookies
These collect anonymous information about how users interact with the website (most visited pages, time spent, navigation errors, etc.). They help us understand usage patterns and improve site structure, content, and services. In some cases, these cookies are managed by third parties such as Google Analytics or similar platforms.
Not all of these cookies are used across all Vircell websites; their use depends on the specific subdomain or section being visited.
How to manage cookies
When visiting our websites for the first time, you will see a cookie banner where you can:
Accept all cookies.
Manage your preferences by category through our configuration panel.
You can also configure your browser to allow, block, or delete cookies already installed on your device. For more information, please see the following guides for the most commonly used browsers:
Updates
Vircell may update this Cookie Policy at any time. We encourage you to review it periodically to stay informed about how and why we use cookies.
