Cookie policy
Welcome to the Cookie Policy of the SPM Engineering website, with CIF B75673699, where we will explain in clear and simple language all the necessary questions so that you can have control over them based on your personal decisions.
WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHAT DO WE USE THEM FOR?
A cookie is a small piece of information that is stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet every time you visit our website.
In principle, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, Trojans, worms, etc. that could damage your device. However, it does have a certain impact on your right to the protection of your personal data, as it collects certain information about you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
Therefore, based on the provisions of applicable regulations (LSSI and current personal data protection regulations), the activation of certain types of cookies will require your prior authorization.
Before doing so, we’ll give you some additional information that will help you make better decisions:
- Cookies can be of various types depending on their purpose:
- Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function. They do not require your authorization and are the only ones we have activated by default.
- Other cookies are used to improve our website, personalize it based on your preferences, or to show you advertising tailored to your searches, tastes, and personal interests. You can accept all of these cookies by clicking the ACCEPT button, reject them by clicking the REJECT button, or configure them by clicking on the COOKIE SETTINGS section.
- Some cookies are ours (we’ll call them our own cookies) and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we’ll call them third-party cookies: an example could be cookies from external providers such as Google). In this sense, it is important that you know that some of these external providers may be located outside of Spain. Worldwide, not all countries have the same level of data protection, with some countries being safer than others (for example, the European Union is a safe environment for your data). Our policy is to use reliable providers who, regardless of whether they are located in the European Union or not, have adopted appropriate safeguards for the protection of your personal information. However, in the section entitled WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?, you can consult the different privacy and data protection policies of each of the aforementioned external providers, in order to make an informed decision about whether or not to activate the third-party cookies used on our website.
- Finally, please note that, depending on the length of time they remain active, cookies can be of two types:
- Cookies de sesión: expiran automáticamente cuando terminas la sesión en tu ordenador, “smartphone” o tableta. Suelen emplearse para conservar la información necesaria mientras se te presta un servicio en una sola ocasión.
- Cookies persistentes: permanecen almacenadas en tu ordenador, “smartphone” o tableta durante un periodo determinado, que puede variar desde unos minutos hasta varios años.
WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES CAN WE USE ON OUR WEBSITE?
- Technical Cookies: Technical cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function and for you to navigate through it. These types of cookies, for example, allow us to identify you, give you access to certain restricted areas of the website if necessary, or remember different options or services you’ve already selected, such as your privacy preferences. Therefore, they are activated by default; your authorization is not required. Through your browser settings, you can block or alert you of the presence of these types of cookies. However, blocking them will affect the proper functioning of the various features of our website.
- Analytical Cookies: Analytical cookies allow us to study how users browse our website in general (for example, which sections of the page are most visited, which services are most used and whether they work correctly, etc.). Using statistical information about browsing on our website, we can improve both the website itself and the various services it offers. Therefore, these cookies are not intended for advertising purposes; they only serve to make our website work better, adapting to our users in general. By activating them, you will contribute to this continuous improvement. You can enable or disable these cookies by checking the corresponding box; they are disabled by default.
- Functionality and Personalization Cookies: Functionality cookies allow us to remember your preferences and customize certain features and general options of our website each time you access it (for example, the language in which the information is presented to you, the sections marked as favorites, your browser type, etc.). Therefore, these types of cookies are not intended for advertising purposes. By activating them, you will improve the functionality of the website (for example, by adapting it to your browser type) and its customization based on your preferences (for example, by presenting information in the language you have chosen on previous occasions), which will contribute to the ease, usability, and comfort of our website during your navigation. You can activate or deactivate these cookies by checking the corresponding box, which are disabled by default.
- Advertising Cookies: Advertising cookies allow us to manage the advertising spaces included on our website based on criteria such as the content displayed or the frequency with which ads are shown. For example, if you have been shown the same ad several times on our website and have not shown personal interest by clicking on it, it will not appear again. In short, by activating this type of cookie, the advertising displayed on our website will be more useful and diverse, and less repetitive. You can enable or disable these cookies by checking the corresponding box; they are disabled by default.
- Behavioral Advertising Cookies: Behavioral advertising cookies allow us to obtain information based on the observation of your browsing habits and behaviors on the web, in order to be able to show you advertising content that best suits your personal tastes and interests. To put it simply, we’ll give you a fictitious example: if your last searches on the web were related to suspense literature, we would show you advertising for suspense books. Therefore, by activating this type of cookies, the advertising we show you on our website will not be generic, but will be oriented to your searches, tastes and interests, therefore adjusting exclusively to you. You can activate or deactivate these cookies by checking the corresponding box, being deactivated by default.

Please also be aware that, once you have activated any type of cookies, you can deactivate them at any time by simply unchecking the corresponding box in the COOKIE SETTINGS section of our website. It’s always as easy for you to activate our own cookies as it is to deactivate them.
