This Cookie policy explains which cookies the website biomecanics.com uses, what each one is for and how you can accept or reject them or change your decision at any time. We manage consent with Cookiebot, which also keeps the list of cookies shown further down this page up to date. The controller responsible for first-party cookies is GARVALIN CALZADOS, S.L., tax ID (CIF) B-03406931, with its registered office at Partida Pla de Sant Josep, Polígono 1, Nº 150 · 03293 Elche (Alicante), Spain.
1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file that a website stores on your device when you visit it and that allows that information to be retrieved later. Alongside cookies there are other technologies that do the same job, such as pixels, tags and the browser's local storage; when we refer to cookies here, we include them too.
A cookie is first-party if it is set by this website, and third-party if it is set by another entity, such as an analytics tool or an advertising platform. Depending on how long they last, cookies are session cookies, if they are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, if they remain on your device for a set period.
2. Which cookies this website uses
Technical or necessary. These allow the website to work: they keep you logged in, store what you add to your cart, make it possible to complete your purchase and payment securely, spread the load across servers, detect fraudulent use and remember the choice you have made about cookies. They are essential to provide the service you request, so they do not require your consent and cannot be disabled from the settings panel. You can block them in your browser, but the website will then no longer work properly.
Preference or personalisation. These remember the choices you make so that you do not have to repeat them on every visit: the language, the country or market you are buying from, the currency or the last size guide you looked at. Where they simply remember a choice you have expressly made, they are necessary to provide that service; in all other cases, they are only activated if you accept them.
Analytics or measurement. These tell us how the website is used: which pages are visited most, how long people stay on them, which devices people browse from, where visits come from and at which step a purchase is abandoned. This helps us detect errors and improve the shop. The information is analysed in aggregate, to understand the behaviour of users as a whole rather than that of a particular person. They are only activated if you accept them.
Marketing or advertising. These are used to measure the results of our campaigns, to avoid showing you the same advert over and over again, and to show you Biomecanics advertising on other websites and on social media, tailored to what you have viewed here. They are set by advertising platforms and social networks acting as third parties, which process the data in accordance with their own privacy policies. They are only activated if you accept them.
3. Cookie declaration
Below you will find the detailed and always up-to-date list of the cookies used by this website (name, provider, purpose and duration), grouped by category, together with your consent ID, the date on which you gave your consent and its current status. It is generated automatically by Cookiebot, so it reflects the cookies set at any given time and is updated automatically.
4. How to accept, reject or configure cookies
The first time you visit the website you will see the Cookiebot banner, with three equally visible and accessible options: accept all, reject all and configure by category. Until you choose, no cookies are set other than technical or necessary ones.
Continuing to browse, scrolling down the page or closing the banner does not count as acceptance. Rejecting takes the same steps as accepting: a single click, in the same banner, with no intermediate steps. Rejecting non-essential cookies does not restrict your purchase: you will be able to browse, select a size, pay and receive your order as normal.
If you choose to configure them, you can accept some categories and reject others, and save that decision.
5. How to change your mind later
You can check or change your decision whenever you like from the “Cookie settings” link in the footer, which opens the Cookiebot panel, without having to register or write to us. Your choice is recorded with a consent ID, and you can withdraw it at any time in the same way.
The change applies immediately to cookies set from that moment on. You can delete those already on your device from your browser, as explained in the next section. We will ask you again after 24 months, and sooner if the cookies we use change.
Please bear in mind that your decision is stored per browser and per device: if you visit from another phone or computer, you will need to set it again.
6. How to view and delete cookies in your browser
All browsers let you view the cookies stored, delete them and block those from particular sites. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Opera, the option is in the settings or preferences menu, under privacy and security; if you use another browser, you will find it in its help section. Most browsers also let you open a private browsing window, which deletes cookies when you close it, and set exceptions site by site.
If you block all cookies, including technical ones, you will probably not be able to log in, keep items in your cart or complete a purchase.
7. Third-party cookies and international transfers
Some of the providers of analytics and advertising cookies are entities located outside the European Economic Area or belong to groups whose parent company is located outside it. When you accept those categories, the transfer is carried out with the safeguards required by data protection law: an adequacy decision of the European Commission or, failing that, the standard contractual clauses approved by the Commission. Each third party identifies its cookies and links to its own privacy policy from the cookie declaration and from the settings panel.
8. Cookies and personal data
Some cookies may process information that can identify you indirectly, such as an identifier assigned to your browser. To find out how we process your personal data, who receives it and how to exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability, see the Privacy policy. You can also write to us at info@biomecanics.com.
If you believe that the use of cookies on this website does not comply with the law, you can lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD): C/ Jorge Juan 6, 28001 Madrid · www.aepd.es.
9. Updates to this policy
This Cookie policy may be updated when the applicable legislation changes or when the cookies used by the website change. The version in force is always the one published on this page.
