In accordance with article 22.2 of Law 34/2002, drafted by section five of the second final provision of Law 9/2014, of May 9, General Telecommunications (“B.O.E.” May 10; Correction of errors “B.O.E.” May 17) and effective from May 11, 2014: “Service providers may use data storage and retrieval devices (the so-called cookies) on recipients’ terminal equipment, provided that they have given their consent after “they have been provided with clear and complete information about their use, in particular, about the purposes of data processing, in accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 3/2018 on the protection of personal data.” However, and in accordance with the third paragraph of article 22.2, “The above will not prevent the possible storage or access of a technical nature for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network or, to the extent that it is strictly necessary, for the provision of an information society service expressly requested by the recipient.” This last point refers to those known as technical cookies.

The procedure to comply with regulatory obligations regarding cookies is:

a) Make an inventory of the cookies used by the website, collecting the name of the cookie, its entity (own or third-party), its purpose and the conservation period. To carry out this task, you can use the developer tools that include web browsers or go to the company that designed and programmed the website.

b) Define the text of the purposes in summary and that will be included in the text of the so-called “first layer”. The installation of this first layer requires computer and programming knowledge or the use of third-party tools, always taking into account that the user must be given the possibility of rejecting the installation of cookies, except for technical cookies that cannot be rejected.

c) Place a link to a web page with the cookie policy (what is called second layer). This page must be accessible from any page that makes up the website.

In its guidelines on transparency, WG29 recommends the use of tiered privacy statements or notices, that is, containing information in layers, so that the user is allowed to go to those aspects of the statement or notice that are relevant. Greater interest for him, thus avoiding information fatigue, and this without prejudice to the fact that all the information is available in a single place or in a complete document that can be easily accessed if the interested party wishes to consult it in its entirety.

This system consists of displaying the essential information in a first layer along with 3 buttons, ACCEPT, REJECT (only technical cookies are authorized) and MORE INFORMATION. This first layer is manifested for practical purposes by showing a banner or a flap, when the page or web application is accessed, and is then complemented by a second layer, which materializes in a page in which more detailed and specific information is offered. About cookies (commonly called the cookie policy page).

In the first layer, which for greater clarity can be identified under a commonly used term (such as, for example, “cookies”), the following information would be included:

a) Identification of the editor responsible for the website. The company name will not be necessary, provided that your complete identification data appears in other sections of the website (legal notice, privacy policy, etc.) and your identity can be clearly deduced from the website itself (for example, when the company itself domain corresponds to the name of the publisher or the brand with which it is identified to the public or said name or brand appears clearly on the website).

b) Identification of the purposes of the cookies that will be used.

c) Information on whether the cookies are their own (the person responsible for the website) or also from third parties associated with them, without it being necessary to identify the third parties in this first layer.

d) Generic information about the type of data that will be collected and used in the event that user profiles are created (for example, when behavioral advertising cookies are used).

e) How the user can accept, configure and reject the use of cookies.

f) A clearly visible link directed to a second information layer in which more detailed information is included, using, for example, the term “Cookies”, “Cookie Policy” or “More information, click here”.

This information will be provided before the use of cookies, including, where applicable, their installation, through a format that is visible to the user and that must be maintained until the user performs the action required to obtain consent or its rejection (meanwhile, technical cookies may be installed on the user’s computer, e.g.: PHPSESSID, ASPNET_SESSION, and similar).
