Cookie Policy
At www.thewiseseeker.com (hereinafter, the Website), we use cookies to facilitate the interaction of visitors with our content and to gather statistics about the visitors we receive.
We hereby inform you that we may use cookies to facilitate your navigation through the Website, distinguish you from other users, provide you with a better user experience, and identify issues to improve our Website. Furthermore, with your consent, we may use cookies that allow us to obtain more information about your preferences and personalize our Website according to your individual interests.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that are stored in the web browser used by each visitor to our website. This allows the server to remember the user’s visit when they return to access our content later. This information does not reveal your identity, personal data, or access the content stored on your computer. However, it does enable our system to identify you as a specific user who has previously visited the website, viewed specific pages, and also allows us to store your personal preferences and technical information, such as the visits made or specific pages you have visited.
In compliance with Directive 2009/136/EC, implemented in our legislation by the second paragraph of Article 22 of the Information Society Services Law, following the guidelines of the Spanish Data Protection Agency, we provide detailed information on the use of cookies on our website.
The purpose of this cookie policy is to inform you clearly and accurately about the cookies used on our Website (the “Cookie Policy”). As for third-party cookies, i.e., those that are not related to our website, we cannot be held responsible for the content and accuracy of their privacy policies. Therefore, the information we provide is always in reference to the source.
Next, a classification of cookies is carried out based on a series of categories. However, it is important to note that a single cookie may be included in more than one category.
Types of cookies according to the entity that manages them
– First-party cookies: These are the ones that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the website’s owner, providing the service requested by the user.
– Third-party cookies: These are the ones sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain that is not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data.
Types of cookies based on the duration of their activity
– Session cookies: These are cookies designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website.
– Persistent cookies: These are cookies in which the data remains stored on the user’s device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
Types of cookies based on their purpose
– Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform, or application and use the different options or services available, such as traffic and data communication control, session identification, access to restricted areas, remembering the items in a shopping cart, the checkout process for an order, registration for an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or audio streaming, or sharing content on social networks.
– Personalization cookies: These enable the user to access the service with certain pre-defined general characteristics based on criteria stored on the user’s device, such as language, the type of browser used to access the service, regional settings, etc.
– Advertising cookies: These allow the efficient management of advertising spaces that the website owner has included, if applicable, in a website, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the content or the frequency of displaying ads.
– Behavioral advertising cookies: These enable the efficient management of advertising spaces included by the website owner, if applicable, in a website, application, or platform providing the requested service. These cookies store information on user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of specific profiles to display ads accordingly.
– Analytics cookies: These enable the controller to track and analyze the behavior of users on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure the activity on the websites, applications, or platforms and to create browsing profiles for the users of these sites, applications, and platforms. This is done to introduce improvements based on the analysis of user data usage patterns.
Regarding the processing of data collected through analytical cookies, although they are not exempt from the requirement to obtain informed consent for their use, they are unlikely to pose a privacy risk to users as long as they are first-party cookies, deal with aggregated data for strictly statistical purposes, provide information about their use, and offer the option for users to express their refusal to use them.
Currently, most browsers come pre-configured to block the installation of advertising or third-party cookies on your device. Users can expand the restrictions from the source, preventing the entry of any type of cookie, or remove these restrictions, allowing the entry of any type of cookies. If you are interested in allowing advertising or third-party cookies, you can configure your browser accordingly.
The user’s acceptance, by clicking the ACCEPT button shown in the initial cookie information, explicitly implies their consent to the responsible party for their use. Users can exercise their rights and revoke their consent at any time by making a request to “The Wise Seeker.”

If you do not want cookies to be stored in your browser or prefer to receive information every time a cookie requests installation, you can configure your browsing options to do so. Most browsers allow the management of cookies in three different ways:
– Cookies are always rejected;
– The browser asks if the user wants to install each cookie;
– Cookies are always accepted;
Your browser may also include the option to select in detail which cookies you want to install on your computer. Specifically, the user can typically accept one of the following options:
– Reject cookies from certain domains;
– Reject third-party cookies;
– Accept non-persistent cookies (deleted when the browser is closed);
– Allow the server to create cookies for a different domain. To allow, know, block, or delete the cookies installed on your computer, you can do so through the settings of the browser installed on your computer.
