What are cookies?
Cookies are a set of data that a server stores in the user’s browser in order to collect standard internet log information and information about visitors’ behaviour on a website. In other words, they are small text files that are stored on the computer’s hard drive and are used to identify the user when they reconnect to the website.
Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and store certain information. The use of cookies is common and widespread on the web, as they allow websites to function more efficiently and enable greater personalisation and analysis of user behaviour.
What types of cookies exist?
The cookies used on our website include session cookies and third-party cookies. These allow us to store and access information relating to language preferences, the type of browser used and other general characteristics predefined by the user, as well as to monitor and analyse user activity in order to introduce improvements and provide our services in a more efficient and personalised manner.
Depending on their duration, cookies can be classified as session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser.
Persistent cookies remain stored until their purpose has been fulfilled (for example, to keep the user identified within Nadine Castillo’s services) or until they are manually deleted by the user.

Additional Information
Cookies may be session-based, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent, which remain stored on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted.
You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time through your browser settings or via the cookie settings panel on this website.
Performance Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences for the tools available within the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. Examples of this type include: volume settings for video or audio players, video streaming speeds compatible with your browser, and items stored in the “shopping basket” on e-commerce services such as online shops.
Geo-location Cookies
These cookies are used to determine the country from which a service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous and is used solely to help tailor content to your location.
Registration Cookies
Registration cookies are generated once a user has registered or subsequently logged into a service, and are used to identify the user within the services for the following purposes:
- To keep the user logged in so that if they close a service, browser or device and later return to the service, they will remain identified, making navigation easier without having to log in again. This functionality can be disabled if the user selects the “log out” option, in which case the cookie will be deleted and the user will need to log in again on their next visit.
- To verify whether the user is authorised to access certain services, for example, to participate in a competition.
In addition, some services may use connectors to social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. When a user registers for a service using social media credentials, they authorise the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and grants access to the services until it expires. The user may delete this cookie and revoke access via social networks by updating their preferences on the relevant social media platform.
Analytics Cookies
Each time a user visits a service, a tool provided by a third-party provider generates an analytics cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, is used on subsequent visits to Nadine Castillo’s services to anonymously identify the visitor.
The main purposes of these cookies are:
- To allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (identifying browsers and devices, not individuals), enabling an approximate count of visitor numbers and their trends over time.
- To anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore the content most attractive to users.
- To determine whether the user accessing the service is a new or returning visitor.
Important: Unless the user chooses to register for a Nadine Castillo service, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies are used solely for statistical purposes to help optimise the user experience on the website.
Advertising Cookies
These cookies allow us to expand the information relating to advertisements displayed to each anonymous user within Nadine Castillo’s services. Among other data, they store the duration or frequency of advertisement displays, interaction with advertisements, and browsing patterns and/or user behaviour, helping to build an advertising interest profile. This enables the delivery of advertising more relevant to the user’s interests.
Third-Party Advertising Cookies
In addition to advertising managed directly by Nadine Castillo websites, Nadine Castillo services offer advertisers the option to serve advertisements through third parties (“Ad Servers”). These third parties may store cookies sent from Nadine Castillo services via users’ browsers and may access the data stored within them.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, Nadine Castillo websites use the DoubleClick (Google) platform to manage these services.
How can I disable cookies in my browser?
Different browsers can be configured to notify users of the receipt of cookies and, if desired, prevent their installation on the device. Users can also review which cookies are installed in their browser and their expiration periods, and delete them if they wish.
