2. What are cookies?
Access to this Website may involve the use of cookies. Cookies are small amounts of information stored in the browser used by each User — on the different devices they may use to browse — so that the server can remember certain information which will subsequently be read only by the server that implemented it. Cookies make browsing easier and more user-friendly, and do not harm the browsing device.
Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information regarding the preferences determined by the User during their visit to the Website, in order to recognise them as a User and personalise their experience and use of the Website. They may also help, for example, to identify and resolve errors.
The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the Website, and the sites visited immediately before and after it. However, no cookie allows contact with the User’s telephone number or any other personal means of contact, nor can any cookie extract information from the User’s hard drive. The only way for the User’s private information to form part of a cookie file is if the User personally provides that information to the server.
Cookies that allow a person to be identified are considered personal data and are therefore subject to our Privacy Policy. Accordingly, the User’s consent is required for their use. Such consent is obtained through a clear affirmative action prior to any processing, based on a genuine choice, and may be withdrawn at any time.
3. Types of cookies used on this Website
By who manages them:
- First-party cookies: cookies sent to the User’s computer or device and managed solely by [Homes & Beyond] for the proper functioning of the Website. The information collected is used to improve the quality of the Website and its content, as well as the User’s experience. These cookies allow the User to be recognised as a returning visitor and enable the content to be adapted to their preferences.
- Third-party cookies: cookies managed by external providers that process the information obtained in accordance with their own privacy policies. These are listed in section 5.
By purpose:
- Strictly necessary or technical: essential for browsing and for the correct operation of the Website (session management, security, storage of consent preferences). These do not require consent.
- Preference or personalisation: allow options such as language or region to be remembered.
- Analytics or measurement: allow aggregate user behaviour to be understood and analysed in order to improve the Website and its services.
- Behavioural advertising: store information about browsing behaviour in order to display advertising tailored to the User’s profile.
By duration:
- Session cookies: deleted when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies: stored for the periods indicated in section 6, until they expire or the User deletes them.
4. Legal basis
- Strictly necessary cookies are installed on the basis of the controller’s legitimate interest and the exemption provided for in Article 22.2 of the LSSI-CE, as they are essential for the provision of the service requested by the User.
- All other cookies (preference, analytics and advertising) are installed solely on the basis of the User’s consent (Article 6.1.a GDPR), given through the cookie settings panel and revocable at any time.

7. How to accept, reject, configure or withdraw consent
The first time the User accesses the Website, a panel is displayed allowing them to accept all cookies, reject all of them, or configure them by category. No cookies other than strictly necessary ones are installed until the User gives their consent.
The User may change or withdraw their consent at any time by clicking the “Manage consent” link, permanently available in the floating button of the Website. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.
In addition, the User may disable, reject and delete cookies — in whole or in part — installed on their device by configuring their browser. The procedures differ from one browser to another, so the User should refer to the relevant instructions:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
If the User rejects the use of cookies — in whole or in part — they may continue to use the Website, although some of its features may be limited.
For embedded videos, maps and other third-party content, the Website applies prior blocking: such content is not loaded until the User accepts the corresponding category.
8. User rights
The User may exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and data portability, as well as withdraw their consent, by sending a request to homesandbeyond2004@gmail.com, stating the right they wish to exercise and enclosing a copy of an identity document.
The User may also lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, C/ Jorge Juan 6, 28001 Madrid — www.aepd.es) if they consider that their rights have not been duly addressed.
For further information on the processing of personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
9. Changes to this policy
