3. What types of cookies might the EDVAL website use?
The EDVAL website may use the following categories of cookies, depending on the features actually implemented:
a) Technical or necessary cookies
These are cookies that are necessary to enable navigation of the website and the use of its basic features, such as session management, security, traffic control, error identification, user authentication or access to restricted areas.
These cookies do not require the user’s consent when they are strictly necessary to provide the requested service or to enable the basic functioning of the website.
b) Preference or personalisation cookies
These are cookies that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the website with certain settings, such as language, regional settings, browsing type or display preferences.
Where these cookies result from an express decision by the user or are necessary to provide the requested service, they may be considered exempt from consent. In all other cases, consent will be sought where required.
c) Analytical or measurement cookies
These are cookies that enable us to quantify the number of users, analyse how the website is used, identify which pages are visited, measure the website’s performance, detect browsing issues, and improve its content and services.
These cookies will only be installed once the user has given their prior consent via the cookie banner or settings panel, unless, in accordance with applicable regulations and the criteria of the supervisory authority, they may be considered exempt as they strictly comply with conditions of aggregated measurement, purpose limitation, absence of individual tracking and absence of use for third-party purposes.
d) Advertising or behavioural advertising cookies
These are cookies that enable the management of advertising spaces, the measurement of campaign effectiveness, the recording of conversions, or the creation of profiles based on browsing habits, with the aim of displaying personalised advertising or content tailored to the user’s interests.
To the extent that the EDVAL portal uses advertising, conversion, campaign measurement or profiling cookies, these will only be installed once the user has given their prior consent via the cookie banner or settings panel.
e) Third-party cookies
These are cookies managed by entities other than the Fundación para la Transformación de La Rioja, such as providers of measurement services, external content display, maps, videos, social media, security, authentication or integrated services.
These cookies will be subject to the terms and policies of the relevant third parties, without prejudice to the information and consent management mechanisms provided via the EDVAL portal where required.
Where third-party cookies are not strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user, they will only be installed once the user has given their prior consent.

- Configure cookies by category or purpose.
- Save the selected settings.
- Modify or withdraw consent at a later date.
The options to accept and reject cookies must be displayed clearly, in a prominent position and with the same level of visibility, without it being more difficult to reject them than to accept them.

Withdrawing consent should be as simple as giving it. For this reason, the website will provide permanent access to the cookie settings panel, from which the user can change their preferences, withdraw previously given consent or reject non-essential cookies.
The user may also delete or block cookies via their browser settings. However, disabling certain technical or essential cookies may affect the proper functioning of the website or some of its features
7. How can you configure cookies in your browser?

The settings for each browser may vary depending on the version used, so it is recommended that you consult the relevant help or official support section.
8. Cookies in third-party content or services
The EDVAL portal may incorporate third-party content, resources or services, such as videos, maps, social media, analytics tools, authentication services, security components or external services linked to the portal’s operation.
In particular, the portal may incorporate third-party services such as Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, X/Twitter or LinkedIn, whose cookies are also governed by the privacy and cookie policies of those providers.
Where such third parties use cookies or similar technologies, the user will be informed and, where applicable, their consent will be sought prior to their installation, unless they are technical cookies or exempt from consent under applicable regulations.
The Foundation for the Transformation of La Rioja does not necessarily control the cookies used by third parties once the user accesses their external websites, platforms or services; therefore, it is recommended that you consult the cookie and privacy policies of those third parties.

In particular, users may find information regarding the data controller, the purposes of processing, the legal bases, recipients, retention periods, the exercise of rights and complaints in the relevant Privacy Policy.
10. Update to the Cookie Policy
The Foundation for the Transformation of La Rioja may amend this Cookie Policy whenever necessary due to regulatory, technical, organisational or operational changes, or due to developments on the EDVAL website.
Furthermore, this policy must be updated whenever new cookies, similar technologies, third-party services or tools are introduced that alter the purposes, data controllers, retention periods or consent management mechanisms.
The current version of the Cookie Policy shall be the one published on the website at any given time.
