The provider, on its own account or that of a third party contracted to provide measurement services, may use cookies when a user browses the website. Cookies are files sent to the browser by a web server in order to record the user’s activities during their browsing time. The cookies used by the website are only associated with an anonymous user and his or her computer, and do not provide the user’s personal data themselves. Through the use of cookies it is possible for the server where the website is located to recognise the web browser used by the user in order to make browsing easier, allowing, for example, users who have previously registered to access areas, services, promotions or competitions reserved exclusively for them without having to register on each visit. They are also used to measure audience and traffic parameters, monitor progress and number of visits. The user has the possibility of configuring their browser to be notified of the reception of cookies and to prevent their installation on their device. Please refer to your browser’s instructions and manuals for more information. To use the website, it is not necessary for the user to allow the installation of the cookies sent by the website, or the third party acting on its behalf, without prejudice to the fact that it is necessary for the user to log in as such in each of the services whose provision requires prior registration or login. The cookies used on this website are, in any case, of a temporary nature with the sole purpose of making their subsequent transmission more efficient. Under no circumstances will cookies be used to collect personal information.

Data confidentiality

Once you have booked a service, you must specify on our website all the information necessary to identify yourself, as well as your credit card number and expiry date; this information will be essential to process your reservation. This data, with the exception of credit card details, will be stored in a file owned by GRUPO GALDANA in accordance with the Organic Law 15/1999 on the protection of personal data, and the Regulation of Security Measures (R.D 994/1999), and Law 34/02 of 11 July on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce, on a secure server, and we guarantee that we will treat all personal data with absolute confidentiality. In order to offer you the best service, GRUPO GALDANA may use this information to inform you of promotions, special offers and other information that may be of interest to you.

In compliance with the provisions of Organic Law 15/1999 of 13 December 1999 on the Protection of Personal Data, GRUPO GALDANA customers may at any time exercise their rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition by writing to GRUPO GALDANA or via our e-mail address.

Certification Authority (CA).

It is an entity that is responsible for authenticating participants in Internet transactions. The CA is therefore responsible for issuing certificates to users so that they can use them in their secure communications with other network users. The certification authority used is Verisign, Inc. This CA is already a classic provider of public key infrastructure and digital certificates for the establishment of secure communications over the Internet and other private networks. The company has formed strategic alliances with companies such as Visa, EDS, Netscape, Microsoft, AT&T, Oracle, AOL, etc. As you can see, all the sections of this website where we request sensitive information use the SSL communications protocol. This means that the information that travels over the Internet from your computer to our server at GRUPO GALDANA is encrypted, so that only the server is able to understand it. This process requires the server to be authenticated by an electronic certificate issued by a certification authority, which ensures that you are accessing the GRUPO GALDANA server and sending hidden information to the other servers on the network. This process ensures that the data we send to the server cannot be intercepted by any external agent, and that nobody can impersonate us and carry out operations on our behalf.
