This cookie policy applies to any service of Inicio SRL that is linked to this policy or incorporates it by reference.

The Company is committed to protecting you regarding the online collection of any anonymous (or non-anonymous) data about you.

By accessing or continuing to use our services (through any device), you consent to the use of cookies and other similar technologies for the purposes specified in this policy, in addition to any other terms and conditions of the present website inicioagency.com.

If you do not agree with how we use cookies, you must appropriately adjust the settings of your browser or refrain from using this website or other websites of the Company. Disabling the cookies we use may affect your user experience on this website inicioagency.com.

WHAT IS A COOKIE? 

A cookie is a collection of data in an industry-standard format that a web page transfers to your computer temporarily to allow customization of content for the user. For this purpose, cookies collect information about your online behavior. A cookie is a small file that contains a text consisting of a string of letters and numbers (information), often encoded, that uniquely identifies your computer, mobile device, or other equipment of a user accessing the internet, but may also contain other information. A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the lifespan of a cookie is determined. A cookie is a file that is placed/downloaded on the device you use when accessing a website, through the request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome), which allows the use of the functionalities of Inicio SRL websites by recording website navigation, so that when you access the website again, it can present options tailored based on the information stored about your last visit. A cookie is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses – cookies use plain text formats, they are not composed of pieces of code so they cannot be executed or self-run; they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate again – or spyware, and cannot access information from the user’s hard disk). They exclusively allow the gathering of information about users’ behavior (in principle, which web pages they visit and when). In other words, the cookie can be seen as an Internet user identification card, which notifies the website every time the user returns to that website.

PURPOSE OF COOKIES 

Cookies can provide faster and easier interaction between users and websites. For example, when a user logs into a particular website, the authentication data is stored in a cookie; subsequently, the user can access the website without the need to log in again.

In other cases, cookies can be used to store information about user activities on a specific web page, allowing the user to easily resume those activities on a subsequent visit to the website. Cookies inform the server which pages to display to the user, so they don’t have to remember this or navigate the entire website from the beginning. Thus, cookies can be likened to “bookmarks” that tell the user exactly where they left off on a website.

Similarly, cookies can store information about products ordered by the user on an e-commerce website, enabling the concept of a “shopping cart.”

We also use cookies for statistical and marketing purposes.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

 We use the following types of cookies: persistent and session cookies, first-party and third-party cookies.

Persistent cookies help us recognize you as an existing user, making it easier for you to return to our website or interact with our services without logging in again. Once you log in, a persistent cookie remains in your browser and will be read when you return to one of our websites or a partner website that uses our services (e.g., our sharing or job application buttons). Session cookies are active only during a session (typically, a regular visit to a website or a browser session).

In other cases, our web pages offer content or advertisements from third parties, such as videos, news, or ads delivered by other advertising networks. Since your browser connects to the web servers of these third parties to retrieve the content, they can create or read their own cookies on your device and collect information about your online activities on different websites or online services. Third parties or third-party providers must comply with applicable laws and Inicio SRL’s privacy policies.
