What are cookies?
Cookies are a set of data that a server deposits in the user’s browser to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information on a website. That is, they are small text files that are stored on the computer’s hard drive and serve to identify the user when they reconnect to the website. Their purpose is to record the user’s visit and save certain information. Their use is common and frequent on the web as it allows pages to function more efficiently and achieve greater customization and analysis of user behavior.
Types of cookies
The cookies used on our website are session and third-party cookies, and they allow us to store and access information related to the language, the type of browser used, and other general characteristics predefined by the user, as well as to follow and analyze the activity carried out, in order to introduce improvements and provide our services in a more efficient and personalized way.
Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. Those that expire when the user closes the browser. Those that expire depending on when the objective for which they serve is met (for example, so that the user remains identified in ClendingStudio’s services) or when they are manually deleted.

| Name | Type | Expiration | Purpose | Class |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| __utma | Third-Party (Google Analytics) | 2 years | Used to distinguish users and sessions. | Non-Exempt |

Additionally, depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:
Performance Cookies
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for tools found in the services, so you don’t have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. For example, this typology includes:
- Volume settings for video or sound players.
- Video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser.
- Items saved in the “shopping cart” in e-commerce services such as stores.
Geo-Location Cookies
These cookies are used to find out in which country you are when a service is requested. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help guide the content to your location.
Registration Cookies
Registration cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and they are used to identify you in the services with the following objectives:
- To keep the user identified so that, if they close a service, the browser or computer and at another time or another day they re-enter the service, they will remain identified, thus facilitating their navigation without having to re-identify themselves. This functionality can be deleted if the user presses the [log out] feature, so this cookie is deleted and the next time they enter the service the user will have to log in to be identified.
- To 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 such as Facebook or Twitter. When the user registers in a service with credentials from a social network, they authorize the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and guarantees 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.
Analytical Cookies
Every time a user visits a service, an external provider’s tool generates an analytical cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will serve in future visits to ClendingStudio’s services to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives pursued are:
- To allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the cookie (identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate counting of the number of visitors and their trend over time.
- To anonymously identify the most visited and therefore most attractive content for users.
- To know whether the user who is accessing is new or repeats visit.
Important: Unless the user decides to register for a ClendingStudio service, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that can identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help optimize the experience of users on the site.
Advertising Cookies
This type of cookies allows to expand the information of the ads shown to each anonymous user in ClendingStudio’s services. Among others, the duration or frequency of display of advertising positions, interaction with them, or browsing patterns and/or user behavior are stored as they help to form a profile of advertising interest. In this way, they allow offering advertising related to the interests of the user.
Third-Party Advertising Cookies
In addition to advertising managed by ClendingStudio’s websites within their services, ClendingStudio’s websites offer advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties (“Ad-Servers”). Thus, these third parties can store cookies sent from ClendingStudio’s 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, ClendingStudio’s websites use the Doubleclick (Google) platform to manage these services. For more information, please visit:
