COOKIES POLICY

Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (“LSSI-CE”) of July 11 establishes the obligation of blog service providers and websites to warn and inform users (the “Users”) about the existence of cookie technology, what they are, how they work and the permissions required to use them.
