Frequently asked questions about Cookies
1. Why are there now so many notices about the use of ‘cookies’?
In 2012, an amendment was introduced to Article 22.2 of the Spanish Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce Law (LSSICE) of 2002. Until then, it was assumed that websites gave notice of the use of cookies in texts included under headings such as "Legal Notice", "Terms of Use", "Terms and Conditions", "Data Protection Policy", etc. However, this was considered insufficient.
Following the 2012 amendment, it was established that users must consent to the use of cookies, after being duly informed of the purposes for which they are used.
2. What are the fines for failing to comply with cookie regulations?
Minor infringements carry fines of up to 30,000 euros, and serious infringements can reach up to 150,000 euros, although case law has never reached these extremes, typically setting amounts between 500 and 25,000 euros.
3. Can I delete the cookies on my computer?
Yes, you can control or delete cookies whenever you wish, although this may result in different behaviour on the website; you can also configure most browsers to stop accepting them. If you reject or delete them, some website features may not work correctly.
