4. DUTY OF SECRECY AND CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

VIVITA ALOE undertakes to fulfil the duty of secrecy and confidentiality regarding the personal data contained in the personal data files under its responsibility, in accordance with the Spanish legislation that apply at all times.

 

5. COOKIES POLICY.

 

5.1. Applicable regulations.

 

Article 22 of Law 34/2002, of July 31, on the information society services and electronic commerce (LSSICE), concerning the rights of recipients in business communications by electronic means, provides that service providers may only use data storage and retrieval devices in recipients’ terminal equipments when they have given their prior informed consent.

 

For that purpose, these recipients and end-users should be provided with clear and complete information on their use, particularly, on the purposes of data processing, in accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 15/1999, of December 13, on the protection of personal data. When it is technically possible and effective, the consent of the recipient to accept data processing may be provided by using the appropriate settings of the browser or other applications.

 

This shall not prevent any technical storage or access for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication by an electronic communications network or, to the extent strictly necessary, for the provision of an information society service expressly requested by the recipient.

 

In any case, the legal regime applicable in Spain establishes an opt-in system and a no opt-out system. This is also stated in the AEPD Legal Report 11/2014 when it says: “(…) Thus, the answer must be clearly negative for the (…) system, called opt-out, and positive for the (…) opt-in. Following Directive 2009/136/EC and Royal Decree-Law 13/2012 an opt-out system cannot be construed as feasible. For this reason, consent by exercising the right of exclusion cannot be given, that is, through systems in which the user must enter a web page and indicate that he/she rejects the possibility of tracing by the provider … “ .

 

5.2. User consent and cookies: general rule and exception.

 

In general, when the installation and/or use of cookies involves the processing of personal data, whether we use own or third-party cookies and whether they are temporary or permanent, prior informed consent of the user to install and/or use them should be requested by the people responsible. Therefore, both obligations must be fulfilled: the duty of information and obtaining the consent of the user.

 

The only exceptions will be those cookies that exclusively allow communication between the user’s equipment and the network and, strictly, those used to provide a service requested by the user. For example, the so-called “technical cookies” (e.g. those necessary by the platform or application for the same navigation); the “customization or configuration cookies” (e.g. allowing the page to recognize the user’s language, etc.) and the “security cookies” (e.g. detecting repeated and failed attempts  to connect to a site) would be excluded.
