4. WHY DO WE NEED YOUR EXPLICIT CONSENT TO USE THEM?

Judgment of the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union, October 1, 2019

The ruling of the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union, dated October 1, 2019, must be interpreted as meaning that consent is not validly given when the storage of information, or access to information already stored in the user's terminal equipment of an Internet website, through cookies is authorized by means of a box marked by default from which the user must remove the mark if he wants to refuse its use. In this sense, the authorization must be based on an explicit acceptance or equal rejection by the user.

This interpretation cannot vary depending on whether or not the information stored or consulted on the user's terminal of an Internet site consists of personal data.

The Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union also provides in this ruling that the information that the service provider must provide to the user of an Internet website must include the time that the cookies will remain active and the possibility that third parties may access the information that they store. This requirement is established by the version amended by Directive 2009/136, which amends Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EU.  

With regard to the possibility that the user can reject the use of cookies, it must be taken into account that if you reject or delete the cookies for web browsing, we will not be able to maintain your preferences, some features of the pages will not be operational, we will not be able to offer you personalized services and every time you go to browse our website we will have to ask you again for your authorization for the use of cookies.
