Cookie policy

RESTAURANT ALAPAR, with CIF 30380341D and registered office at: C/Lleida, 5 – Barcelona- 08004, informs about the use of cookies on its website: alaparbcn.com

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your computer through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in the provision of numerous services of the information society. Among others, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their computer and, depending on the information obtained, can be used to recognize the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on who is the entity that manages the domain from where the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

  • Own cookies: Those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor themselves and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: Those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

In the case where cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the period of time they remain stored in the client’s browser, which could be:

  • Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to keep for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of products purchased).
  • Persistent cookies: The data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the obtained data is processed:

  • Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services that exist in it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the items that make up an order, processing the purchase of an order, requesting registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, or sharing content through social networks.
  • Personalization cookies: Allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined based on a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser through which they access the service, the regional configuration from where they access the service, etc.
  • Analytics cookies: Allow the manager to track and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookies is used in measuring the activity of websites, applications, or platforms and for the creation of user navigation profiles of said websites, applications, and platforms, with the aim of introducing improvements based on the analysis of usage data made by users of the service.
  • Advertising cookies: Allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of advertising spaces.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: Store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows developing a specific profile to show advertising based on it.
  • External social network cookies: Used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (facebook, youtube, twitter, linkedIn, etc.) and that are generated solely for users of said social networks. The conditions of use of these cookies and the information collected are regulated by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.

Next, the cookies being used on this portal are identified along with their type and function:

1. Login Cookies

Login cookies contain authentication details and are used when a user logs in to the WordPress admin dashboard. According to the WordPress Codex

Upon logging in, WordPress uses the wordpress_[hash] cookie to store authentication details (limited to the /wp-admin/ area).

After logging in, WordPress sets the wordpress_logged_in_[hash] cookie. This indicates when you logged in and who you are.

WordPress also sets wp-settings-{time}-[UID] cookies. The UID is your user ID from the WordPress users database table. This stores personal dashboard and admin interface settings.

2. Comment Cookies

By default, cookies are set when someone comments on a blog post (with an expiration of 347 days). This is so you can return at a later time and won’t have to fill in all the information again. The following three cookies are stored:
