Cookie policy

What cookies are

Access to this Website may involve the use of cookies. Cookies are small amounts of information stored in the browser used by each User — on the different devices they may use to browse — so that the server remembers certain information that will later be read only by the server that set it. Cookies make browsing easier and more user-friendly, and do not damage the browsing device.

Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information about the preferences set by the User during their visit to the Website in order to recognise them as a User and personalise their experience and use of the Website, and they can also, for example, help to identify and resolve errors.

The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the Website and the sites visited immediately before and after it. However, no cookie allows itself to be connected with the User's telephone number or any other means of personal contact. No cookie can extract information from the User's hard drive or steal personal information. The only way for the User's private information to become part of the Cookie file is for the user to personally give that information to the server.

Cookies that make it possible to identify a person are considered personal data. Therefore, the Privacy Policy described above shall apply to them. In this regard, the User's consent will be required for their use. This consent will be communicated on the basis of a genuine choice, given by means of an affirmative and positive decision, before the initial processing, and will be withdrawable and documented.

First-party cookies

These are cookies sent to the User's computer or device and managed exclusively by CRC CYCLING for the better functioning of the Website. The information collected is used to improve the quality of the Website and its Content and your experience as a User. These cookies make it possible to recognise the User as a returning visitor to the Website and to adapt the content to offer them content that matches their preferences.

Browser local storage

In addition to the cookies listed, this Website uses the browser's local storage (localStorage) to keep a copy of the User's choice regarding cookies under the key crc-consent. This copy makes it possible to synchronise that choice across the different Website tabs opened by the User. This is technical information; it is not transmitted to any server and remains on the device until the User deletes it from their browser options.

Third-party cookies

These are cookies used and managed by external entities that provide CRC CYCLING with services it has requested in order to improve the Website and the user's experience when browsing the Website. The main purposes for which third-party cookies are used are to obtain access statistics and to analyse browsing information, that is, how the User interacts with the Website.

The information obtained relates, for example, to the number of pages visited, the language, the location of the IP address from which the User accesses the site, the number of Users accessing it, the frequency and recurrence of visits, the length of the visit, the browser used, and the operator or type of device from which the visit is made. This information is used to improve the Website and to detect new needs in order to offer Users Content and/or a service of optimal quality. In any case, the information is collected anonymously and trend reports on the Website are produced without identifying individual users.

You can obtain more information about cookies and privacy, or consult the description of the type of cookies used, their main characteristics, expiry period, etc. at the following link:

• Vercel: https://vercel.com/docs/analytics/privacy-policy
• Microsoft Clarity: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement

Microsoft Clarity is only loaded if the User accepts the cookie notice. If they are rejected, no Clarity resources are downloaded and none of its cookies are set. The first-party cookies set by this service are:

• _clck — keeps the Clarity user identifier for this Website.
• _clsk — joins several pages viewed by the same User into a single recording.

Clarity may also set third-party cookies from Microsoft domains. The full, up-to-date list can be consulted in the Clarity documentation (learn.microsoft.com/clarity/setup-and-installation/clarity-cookies).

Google Analytics is only loaded if the User accepts the cookie notice. If they are rejected, no Google resources are downloaded and none of its cookies are set. The cookies set by this service are:

• _ga — distinguishes the Website's Users in order to compile statistics. Duration: 400 days.
• _ga_89BRX6JLT9 — keeps the session state for this Google Analytics property. Duration: 400 days.

The entity responsible for supplying cookies may transfer this information to third parties, provided that this is required by law or that a third party processes this information on behalf of those entities.

Social networks

CRC CYCLING does not incorporate social network plugins or embedded content on the Website. Social profiles are linked by means of conventional links, so browsing the Website does not set social network cookies in the User's browser.

When clicking on those links, the User leaves the Website and accesses the corresponding platform, whose owner has its own data protection and cookie policies and is responsible for its own files and privacy practices. For information purposes only, the links where those policies can be consulted are listed below:

• Instagram: https://help.instagram.com/1896641480634370?ref=ig
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/

Disabling, rejecting and deleting cookies

The User can disable, reject and delete the cookies — in whole or in part — installed on their device through their browser settings (among which are, for example, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Explorer). In this regard, the procedures for rejecting and deleting cookies may differ from one Internet browser to another. Consequently, the User should refer to the instructions provided by the Internet browser they are using. If they reject the use of cookies — in whole or in part — they may continue to use the Website, although the use of some of its features may be limited.
