Last Update: January 13, 20024

Welcome to Vobix!

Please be informed that our website uses cookies to improve your user experience. The regulation of Cookies Policy in Spain is governed by the provisions established in the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (RGPD), the Ley Orgánica 3/2018, de 5 de diciembre, de Protección de Datos Personales y Garantía de los Derechos Digitales (LOPDGDD) [Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, 2018, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD)], and the Ley 34/2002, de 11 de julio, de Servicios de la Sociedad de la Información y el Comercio Electrónico (LSSI-CE) [Law 34/2002, of July 11, 2002, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI-CE). However, it is important to note that none of these regulations specifically addresses the use of Cookies Policy. For this reason, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) [Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD)] published a Guide aimed at facilitating compliance with the country’s Cookie Policy legislation. This Guide aims to align with the guidelines established in May 2020 by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) regarding the use of Cookie Policy, thus adapting Spanish regulations to these guidelines. You can consult the Guide (in Spanish) here !

Below, we provide you with detailed information on what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage them, in accordance with Spanish cookies legislation.

Thise Cookie Policy can be temporary or persistent, depending on how they are set by the website developer. Overall, their goal is to improve usability and user convenience by customising interaction with the site.

Functionality cookies and analytics or performance cookies have slightly different objectives, although both contribute to improving the user experience on a website. Here are some key differences:

A. Purpose:

Functionality Cookies: These cookies focus on remembering user preferences and choices in Assignment to personalise the browsing experience. Their main purpose is to offer a website more tailored to individual needs, remembering settings such as language, page layout, user preferences, etc.
