Cookie Policy
On this website we collect and use information as indicated in the privacy policy. One of the ways in which we collect data is through the use of the technology called “Cookies”.
At https://fitizens.io we use our own and third-party cookies in order to give you a better user experience, to obtain statistics and browsing habits, and to enable social network features (sharing content, directing you to them, etc.), among other things.
As a user, you can reject the processing of data or information by blocking these cookies through your browser’s configuration. In this way they will not be downloaded and stored on your hard drive. You should be aware that, if you block certain cookies, certain functionalities of the website may not work correctly.
In the cookie policy we explain how you need to configure the most popular browsers so that they notify you of the receipt of cookies on your hard drive or to disable the ability to store such cookies on it.
In accordance with article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 (LSSI) and the AEPD Cookie Guide, cookies that are not strictly necessary require the user’s consent. When you access the website, we will display a cookie notice so that you can accept their use and access this Policy to expand the information.
What is a cookie
A cookie is a text file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Its usefulness is that the browser is able to remember your visit when you return to browse that website. Cookies allow the page, among other things, to store and retrieve information about your browsing habits or your equipment and, depending on the information they contain and the way you use your equipment, they can be used to recognize you.
The purpose of the cookie is to adapt the content of the website to your profile and needs so that you have a better browsing experience. Without cookies, the services offered by any page would be significantly reduced.
A cookie is NOT a virus, nor a Trojan, nor a worm, nor spam, nor spyware, nor does it open pop-up windows.
Information stored by a cookie
Cookies store data of a technical nature, personal preferences, personalization of content, usage statistics, links to social networks, access to user accounts, etc. They do not usually store sensitive information about you such as credit cards or banking data, photographs, or personal information, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person but rather your browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Google Chrome and try to browse the same website with Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Apple Safari you will see that the website does not understand that you are the same person because it is actually associating the information with the browser and not with the person.
First-party and third-party cookies
- First-party cookies: These are the ones generated by the page you are visiting (in this case, https://fitizens.io).
- Third-party cookies: These are those generated by external services or providers such as Google Analytics, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Cookies according to their retention period

Types of cookies according to their purpose

They allow, among other things, knowing when a human or an automated application is browsing and when an anonymous user and a registered user are browsing — basic tasks for the functioning of any dynamic website.
- Personalization cookies: These allow you to access a service with certain characteristics preconfigured based on a series of criteria such as the type of browser you use, the language defined in it, the access zone, etc.
- Preference cookies: These allow information to be remembered so that you access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate your experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to display when you perform a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used or the region from which it is accessed, etc.
- Analytics cookies: These collect information about the type of browsing you are carrying out, the sections you use the most, products you consult, time slot of use, language, etc. They allow measuring the activity of the website and making improvements to it based on the monitoring and analysis of your behavior.

Important warning about cookies
Given the way the Internet and websites work, it is not always possible to have information about the cookies placed by third parties through our website. This applies especially to cases in which our website contains what are called embedded elements: texts, documents, images, or short films that are stored elsewhere but that are displayed on this website. In addition to those derived from analytics plugins that this website uses.

You can also contact the third party directly to request information about those cookies it places, their purpose and duration, as well as how it has guaranteed your privacy.
How to manage, disable, and delete cookies
If you do not want a website or a blog to store cookies on your computer, you can adapt your browser settings so that you are notified each time a cookie requests to be downloaded or installed or to reject all cookies or only those from third parties. In addition, you can delete any of the cookies that are already on your computer.
Most browsers allow the management of cookies in 3 different ways:
- Cookies are always rejected.
- The browser asks whether the user wants to install each cookie.
- Cookies are always accepted.
The browser may also include the possibility of specifying more precisely which cookies must be accepted and which not.
You normally have these options:
- Reject cookies from certain domains.
- Reject third-party cookies.
- Accept cookies as non-persistent (deleted when the browser is closed).
- Allow the server to create cookies for a different domain.
You will have to adapt the configuration of each browser and device that you use separately. Here we provide some guides so that you know how to configure the installation of cookies in the most popular browsers:
If you wish, you can disable Google Analytics tracking by means of this browser add-on offered by Google.
Web browsers are the tools in charge of storing cookies and from there you must exercise your right of deletion or deactivation of them.
In some cases it is necessary to install cookies so that the browser does not forget your decision not to accept them.
