This website uses both third-party and first-party cookies to give you a better browsing experience, let you share content on social media, and help us gather user statistics.
You can prevent cookies from being downloaded through your browser settings, stopping cookies from being stored on your device.
As the owner of this website, I want to let you know that we don't use any personal information from cookies; we only do general visit statistics that do not involve any personal information.
It's very important that you read this cookie policy and understand that if you keep browsing, we will consider that you accept its use.
According to the terms included in Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce, if you keep browsing, you will be giving your consent for the use of the mentioned mechanisms.
The entity responsible for collecting, processing, and using your personal data, as established by the Personal Data Protection Law, is the IRCA Casabierta website, owned by IRCA Casabierta – De la Sede Lechera, 300 meters north, Zapote, San José, Costa Rica.
Cookies are a set of data that a server places in the user's browser to collect standard Internet registration information and information about visitors' behavior on a website. In other words, they are small text files stored on the computer's hard drive, used to identify the user when they return to the website. Their purpose is to record the user's visit and save certain information. They are commonly and frequently used on the web because they help websites run more efficiently and achieve greater personalization and analysis of user behavior.
The cookies used on our website are session and third-party cookies, and they allow us to store and access information about the language, the type of browser used, and other general features set by the user, as well as to track and analyze the activity they carry out, in order to make improvements and provide our services more efficiently and personally.
Cookies, depending on how long they last, can be divided into session cookies or permanent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser. Permanent ones expire based on when the goal they serve is fulfilled (for example, to keep the user logged into IRCA Casabierta services) or when they are manually deleted.
| Name | Type | Expiration | Purpose | Class |
| __utma | From Third Parties (Google Analytics) | 2 years | It’s used to distinguish users and sessions. | Not Exempt |
| __utmb | From Third Parties (Google Analytics) | 30 minutes | It's used to determine new sessions or visits | Not Exempt |
| __utmc | From Third Parties (Google Analytics) | At the end of the session | It is set up for use with Urchin | Not Exempt |
| __utmz | From Third Parties (Google Analytics) | 6 months | Stores the source or campaign that explains how the user got to the website | Not Exempt |
Additionally, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you don’t have to set up the service again every time you visit. For example, this type includes: volume settings for video or sound players, video streaming speeds compatible with your browser, and items saved in the “shopping cart” on e-commerce services like stores.
These cookies are used to find out which country you are in when a service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor the content to your location.
Registration cookies are generated once the user has signed up or later has logged in, and they are used to identify them in the services with the following purposes:
Keep the user logged in so that if they close a service, the browser, or the computer and later on another time or day return to that service, they remain logged in, making it easier to navigate without having to log in again. This feature can be turned off if the user clicks the [log out] option, which deletes this cookie, and the next time they enter the service, they will need to log in to be identified.
Check if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.
Additionally, some services may use connectors with social networks like Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers for a service using social network credentials, they allow the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and grants them access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the services through social networks by updating their preferences in the specified social network.
Every time a user visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an analytical cookie on the user's computer. This cookie, which is only created during the visit, will be used in future visits to IRCA Casabierta's services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main goals are:
Allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
Anonymously identify the most visited content and therefore the most appealing to users. Know if the user accessing is new or returning.
Important: Unless the user decides to sign up for an IRCA Casabierta service, the cookie will never be linked to any personal data that could identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimize the user experience on the site.
These types of cookies allow for expanding the information about the ads shown to each anonymous user on IRCA Casabierta services. Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of ad views, interactions with them, or the user's browsing patterns and/or behaviors since they help create an advertising interest profile. This way, they allow showing ads that match the user's interests.
In addition to the ads managed by the IRCA Casabierta websites on their services, the IRCA Casabierta websites offer their advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties (“Ad-Servers”). This way, these third parties can store cookies sent from the IRCA Casabierta services from users' browsers, as well as access the data stored in them.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies. Currently, IRCA Casabierta websites use the Doubleclick (Google) platform to manage these services. For more information, please visit
http://www.google.es/policies/privacy/ads/#toc-doubleclick And http://www.google.es/policies/privacy/ads/.
Different browsers can be set up to notify the user when cookies are received and, if desired, prevent them from being installed on the device. Likewise, the user can check in their browser which cookies are installed and when they expire, and can delete them.
