WATZEAT COOKIE POLICY

To provide a better service to the user, we use cookies, which are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit our Web Platform. You can disable the use of cookies in your browser settings; however, this may result in a more limited use of the Platform you are visiting.

1.   How we use Cookies?

WatzEat uses this technology to:

   Know who our visitors are, and in this way, provide a better, more secure, and personalized service.

   Understand the performance of our Platform and allow for its update and improvement, meeting the expectations of our clients. Each visitor corresponds to an individual cookie, thus guaranteeing the privacy and security of the data. The statistical data is presented in an aggregated way, not allowing for the identification of the individual visitor.

2.  What types of Cookies do we use? 

This Platform may use the following types of cookies:

   Strictly Necessary/Essential Cookies – These are necessary to ensure the functioning and/or to ensure the availability of functionalities that are requested by the user, or even to save their preferences regarding navigation on it, whenever they use the same device and so request.

   Functional Cookies – These are accessory and are used for the personalization of the user's browsing experience, which means they allow the user's preferences regarding navigation to be remembered, thus not needing to reconfigure and personalize it each time they visit it.

   Analytical Cookies – These are accessory and are used to analyze how users use the website and the app. They allow, for example, monitoring the Platform's performance by knowing which pages are most popular or detecting errors. These cookies are only used for statistical analysis, never collecting personal information. Thus, we can seek to provide a higher quality experience and/or identify and correct any problems that arise

   Advertising/Marketing Cookies – These are accessory and aim to make advertising more attractive to users and advertisers, directing advertising based on the interests of each user and avoiding ad repetition, helping to measure the effectiveness of advertising and the success of the Platform's organization.

Cookies have a certain expiration period that starts when a cookie is stored on a user's device and can, depending on the cookie, be automatically renewed if the user visits the website and/or app again. After the expiration period ends, the cookie will be deleted by the user's browser. We use cookies that are valid for a browser session (session cookies) and cookies that remain valid for a longer period (persistent cookies). Session cookies temporarily store a session ID while the user is active on our website and/or app and are deleted as soon as the user logs out or lose their validity as soon as the user's session has expired. Persistent cookies store a file on the user's device for a specific period until the cookie's expiration or until the user deletes it.

The cookies may be considered first-party cookies, which are cookies set by the website the user visits, either by WatzEat or by a third party at WatzEat's request, or third-party cookies, which are cookies set by a third party other than WatzEat. The cookie table below provides information about the cookies used on our Platform.
