ICER BRAKES, S.A. (hereinafter ICER BRAKES), as the publisher and controller of this website, wishes to inform you that this website uses its own and third-party analytical cookies to create profiles based on user browsing habits, display multimedia content and offer social media features. You should be aware that we share information about your use of our website with Google, which may combine it with other information you have provided or that it has collected from your use of its services.

Acceptance of this Policy implies that the user has been clearly and fully informed about the use of data storage and retrieval devices (cookies) and that ICER BRAKES has the user’s consent to use them in accordance with the terms of Article 22 of Law 34/2002, of 11 July, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSICE).

1. What is a cookie and what is it used for?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer, smartphone, tablet, etc. when you access certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their device and, depending on the information they contain and the way you use your device, they can be used to recognise the user.

The set of cookies from all our users helps us to improve the quality of our website, allowing us to monitor which pages are useful, which are not, and which could be improved. Under no circumstances can cookies damage your device. On the contrary, having them active helps us to identify and resolve errors.

2. Classification of cookies?

Cookies can be classified as:

A. According to the entity that manages it:

• First-party cookies: These are sent to your device from our own computers or domains and from which we provide the service you request.
• Third-party cookies: These are sent to your device from a computer or domain that is not managed by us, but by another collaborating entity. For example, those used by social networks.

B. Depending on how long they remain active:

• Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser’s cookie file until you leave the website, so none are stored on your computer’s hard drive. The information obtained through these cookies is used to analyse traffic patterns on the website.
• Persistent cookies: These are stored on your hard drive and our website reads them each time you visit. A persistent cookie has a specific expiry date. The cookie will stop working after that date.

C. According to their purpose:

• Technical cookies: These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website. They allow, for example, traffic and data communication to be controlled, or content to be shared via social networks.
• Personalisation cookies: These allow you to access the service with predefined characteristics based on a series of criteria, such as language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional settings from which the service is accessed, etc.
• Analysis cookies: These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out statistical measurement and analysis of the use made by users of the services provided.
  Advertising cookies: These allow the most effective management of the advertising spaces that may be included on our website.
• Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation. Thanks to them, we can learn about your internet browsing habits and show you advertising related to your browsing profile.

3. Cookies we use on the website www.icerbrakes.com

In compliance with the provisions of Article 22.2 of the Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI) and in accordance with European Directive 2009/136/EC, ICER BRAKES informs you and you give your consent to the use of cookies on our website simply by browsing it.

A. Analytical cookies:

We inform you that we use analytical cookies. The application we use to obtain and analyse browsing information is: Google Analytics: www.google.com/analytics/ and https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage, which is a service provided by Google Inc, a Delaware company whose main office is at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View (California), CA 94043, United States (‘Google’), thus involving an international data transfer, as Google’s servers are located outside the European Economic Area in the US and are covered by the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement, information on which is available here, approved by the European Data Protection Committee.

Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on their servers. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of tracking your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

Google Analytics is a simple and easy-to-use tool that helps website owners measure how users interact with site content. When a user browses the pages of a website, Google Analytics provides the site owner with JavaScript tags (libraries) to record information about the page a user has viewed, such as the page URL. Google Analytics JavaScript libraries use HTTP cookies to ‘remember’ what a user has done on previous pages or interactions with the website.

Google Analytics supports two JavaScript libraries (tags) for measuring website usage: analytics.js and ga.js.

The analytics.js JavaScript library is part of Universal Analytics and uses a single first-party cookie containing an anonymous identifier to differentiate users.

By default, this library sets cookies at the top-level domain, excluding the first dot, and sets the cookie path at the root level (/).

This library sets the following cookies:

B. Cookies used for sharing content:

Secondly, we use plug-in cookies to exchange content on social networks such as Facebook®, Twitter®, YouTube® or LinkedIn®. If you click on the icon for this social network, you will be able to access our profile on that social network. In addition, within our posts in the News section, you can share our information on your social network profile. These plug-ins store and access cookies on the user’s terminal equipment that allow the social network to identify its members while they interact with the plug-ins. Therefore, you should be aware that if you browse our website while logged in to the corresponding social network, you must bear in mind that if you share content from this website with friends through the social network, or publish content on our profile page on that social network, you will receive cookies from their website. We cannot control the settings of third-party cookies, so we suggest that you check the websites of those third parties for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.

• Twitter cookie policy
• LinkedIn cookie policy
• Google cookie policy

C. YouTube® cookies:

On our website, you will be able to view videos hosted by the streaming video provider YouTube®, owned by YouTube LLC, a company located at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, California, CA 94066, United States, which is part of the Google corporate group. By accessing this section of our website and playing the video, YouTube® cookies will be installed on your device. Google sets a number of cookies on any page that includes a YouTube video. Since these are third-party cookies, ICER BRAKES has no control over Google’s cookies, which include a mix of information fragments to measure the number and behavior of YouTube users, including information that links your visits to our website with your Google account if you are signed in. Information about your use of our website, including your IP address, may be transmitted to Google and stored on its servers; however, this does not personally identify you unless you have logged into Google, in which case it is linked to your Google account.

When playing the video, the advertising cookie “IDE” from DoubleClick is also loaded. DoubleClick uses cookies to improve advertising. They are typically used to target ads based on content relevant to a user, improve campaign performance reports, and avoid showing ads the user has already seen. The ID of each DoubleClick cookie is essential for these applications. For example, DoubleClick uses the cookie ID to keep track of ads shown in each browser. When serving an ad in a browser, DoubleClick can use the cookie ID of that browser to check which DoubleClick ads have already been displayed. This is how DoubleClick avoids showing ads the user has already seen. Similarly, cookie IDs allow DoubleClick to record conversions related to ad impressions, such as when a user views a DoubleClick ad and later uses the same browser to visit the advertiser’s website and make a purchase. DoubleClick cookies do not contain personally identifiable information. Occasionally, the cookie contains an additional identifier that resembles the cookie ID. This identifier is used to identify an advertising campaign a user has previously been exposed to; however, DoubleClick does not store personally identifiable information in the cookie.

D. Technical Cookies

Finally, this website uses technical cookies for the proper functioning of the site, specifically to determine whether the user has accepted the use of cookies, identify the language selected by the user, detect if the website is being displayed on a mobile device, enable authentication of the user’s identity, and ensure the security of the website by protecting us against hacks and malware. Disabling these cookies by blocking them may prevent some functionalities of the website from working correctly.
