Cookie Policy
GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this Cookies Policy is to comply with the provisions of Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 (LSSI) by clearly and accessibly informing the User about the use of data storage and retrieval devices (cookies and similar technologies) on the PROSEGUR GOLD Website. When visiting and browsing this Website, Prosegur Crypto (as the party responsible for it) may use cookies or other files with similar functionality on the User’s equipment or device, always for the purpose of enabling and improving the browsing experience. In any case, non-essential cookies will only be used if the User has previously given their consent, in accordance with the provisions of this policy.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text or data files that are stored in the User’s browser or device (computer, mobile phone, tablet) when visiting a website. These files make it possible to remember information about the User’s visit, such as their preferred language, login options, or browsing habits, so that on subsequent visits the website can recognize the User and, where appropriate, personalize the experience.
Cookies serve various purposes: facilitating navigation on the website, making it faster, or remembering preferences, but they can also be used for analytical or advertising purposes. In short, cookies help improve the quality of the web service by allowing an understanding of how users interact with the site. Each cookie has a specific duration (the time it remains active on the device) and may be either first-party (set by the domain of the website being visited) or third-party (set by domains other than that of the website, generally to provide external services such as analytics, advertising, or social media integration).
TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
On the PROSEGUR GOLD Website, we use the following types of cookies, both our own and those of authorized third parties, for the purposes described below:
Technical Cookies (Necessary)
These are cookies that are essential for the proper functioning of the Website and for providing the service requested by the User. They allow, for example, navigation through the pages, access to secure areas, remembering the elements of a request (such as a shopping cart in the case of e-commerce), completing the registration or login process, using basic functionalities, or ensuring that page content loads efficiently. Without these cookies, many services would not be available or would not function properly.
Technical cookies are automatically installed on the User’s device when accessing the Website, as they do not require prior consent (as they are exempt under the LSSI). Their duration is usually temporary, being deleted when the browser is closed (session cookies), although some may remain for a longer period in order to remember the User’s preferences (for example, to avoid having to accept the cookie notice again on each visit by storing the User’s choice).
Personalization Cookies
These cookies allow certain choices made by the User to be remembered in order to provide enhanced and personalized features. For example, they may store the User’s preferred language, the region from which they access the Website, the type of browser or regional settings, the preferred visual style or theme, or even the configuration of specific features within their account. Thanks to these cookies, the Website can be presented according to the User’s preferences on subsequent visits without having to reconfigure everything again.
Although in some cases these cookies may be considered strictly necessary for the service (for example, remembering the selected language), they are generally cookies that, while improving the experience, are not essential. Therefore, consent will be requested for their installation if they store information beyond the current session.
Analytics or Statistics Cookies
These are cookies that collect anonymous information in an aggregated manner for the purpose of analyzing users’ browsing behavior on the Website. They allow us to quantify the number of visitors and analyze usage statistics of the different pages or sections (for example, which pages are most visited, how long users remain on the site, or whether navigation errors have occurred).
Thanks to this information, Prosegur Crypto can study the Website’s audience and improve the service based on the data obtained—for example, by ensuring that users can easily find what they are looking for or by improving the structure and content of the most visited areas. The information collected by these cookies is statistical in nature and is never used to personally identify the User.
We may use both first-party and third-party analytics cookies (for example, external web analytics services). If third-party cookies are used (such as Google Analytics or similar tools), the information may be managed by those third parties in accordance with their own policies, but always in an aggregated manner and for statistical purposes.
Advertising Cookies
These cookies are intended to manage advertising spaces on websites, making it possible for the ads displayed to be more relevant and better tailored. On the PROSEGUR GOLD Website, these cookies allow us to remember the User’s actions on the Website (visits, pages viewed, interactions) in order to try to offer ads related to their interests, both on the Website itself and, where applicable, on other websites with which we share advertising providers.
There are two main subtypes:
- Generic advertising cookies: These manage advertising spaces on the Website as efficiently as possible, generally based on technical or content-based criteria (for example, how often ads are shown, avoiding repeatedly showing the same ad to the same user, or contextual ads based on the page being visited).
- Behavioral advertising cookies: These allow personalized ads to be offered to the User by building an anonymous profile of their interests based on their browsing. Thanks to these cookies, the ads seen by the User will be more aligned with their preferences, avoiding irrelevant content. These cookies anonymously observe the User’s preferences (for example, which products or sections have been viewed) and, based on these patterns, display similar or related ads, even when the User visits other websites that use the same advertising network. In other words, they help deploy targeted or behavior-based advertising. On our Website, we may use third-party advertising cookies (for example, from Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or other platforms) for this purpose, provided that the User has given their consent.
Social Media Cookies (Social Plugins)
The Website may integrate social media functionalities (such as “Share” or “Like” buttons) that are accompanied by scripts or plugins that allow cookies to be stored on the User’s device. These cookies allow both members of a social network (e.g., users logged into Facebook) and non-members (visitors not registered with that network) to be tracked for purposes such as displaying behavioral advertising, performing traffic analysis, or saving their preferences on social networks.
For example, if content from the PROSEGUR GOLD Website is shared via Twitter or LinkedIn using a plugin, those platforms may place cookies on the User’s browser. These cookies belong to third parties (the social networks themselves) and are beyond the direct control of Prosegur Crypto, so we recommend reviewing the cookie policies of each platform. They will only be installed if the User interacts with these plugins or gives consent to third-party cookies.
Other Similar Technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, Prosegur Crypto informs that it may use local storage technologies or similar techniques for similar purposes. Likewise, email communications may include tracking pixels or web beacons (small transparent images embedded in the message) to determine, for example, whether an email has been opened. These technologies operate in a similar way to cookies, and this policy applies to them equally.
A/B Testing Cookies
Our Website uses an A/B testing solution that uses cookies to improve the user experience. By using our Website, you accept such use and its purpose. To withdraw your consent or obtain more information, please visit the AB Tasty Privacy Page.
COOKIES REQUIRING CONSENT AND EXEMPT COOKIES
In accordance with applicable regulations, consent is not required for technical cookies or those strictly necessary for the operation of the service expressly requested by the User. This means that technical cookies (including, for example, login authentication cookies, load-balancing cookies, or interface personalization cookies when requested by the user) will be installed by default when the User accesses the Website, as without them it could not function properly.
However, all other cookies (analytics, advertising, non-essential preference cookies) do require the User’s prior consent. When first accessing the PROSEGUR GOLD Website, the User will see a cookie notice or banner informing them in a basic manner about the existence of these cookies and giving them the option to accept, configure, or reject them.
The User may modify their decision at any time through the cookie settings panel available on the Website (for example, via the “Change cookie preferences” link located in the footer). Continued browsing without rejecting cookies, after the banner has been displayed, will be interpreted as tacit acceptance only to the extent that the browser’s initial settings allow it; however, Prosegur Crypto recommends that Users explicitly indicate their preferences using the options provided in the banner to ensure their choice.
In any case, the User may block or delete cookies at any time using their browser tools, as explained later in this policy.
LIST OF SPECIFIC COOKIES
Below is a detailed list of the specific cookies used on the PROSEGUR GOLD Website, indicating their name, type, purpose, duration, and owner (first-party or third-party):
COOKIE MANAGEMENT
a. How to configure or disable cookies?
The User has the option to allow, block, or delete cookies installed on their device at any time through the settings of the browser they use. If the User blocks or deletes cookies, some services that require them may not function properly, or the User may need to manually adjust certain preferences each time they visit the Website. Below are links or instructions on how to manage cookies in the most common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Click on the Chrome menu (three vertical dots in the top-right corner) and select Settings. Scroll down and click Privacy and security, then Site settings, and finally Cookies and site data.

- Mozilla Firefox:
- Windows: Go to the menu Tools > Options.
- Mac: Firefox > Preferences.

You can also delete specific cookies via Cookies and Site Data > Manage Data.
- Safari (macOS): Go to Preferences (Safari > Preferences from the menu bar). Click the Privacy tab. In the Cookies and website data section, you can choose to block all cookies (“Block all cookies”) or manage the websites storing cookies by clicking Manage Website Data…. To delete specific cookies, select them and click Remove. Note that blocking all cookies may prevent many websites from functioning correctly.

To block cookies, under Privacy, search, and services, you will find the Tracking prevention option, with levels Basic, Balanced, or Strict (higher levels block more tracking cookies).

Here you can enable or disable cookies, block third-party cookies, and view all stored cookies in See all cookies and site data, with the option to delete them individually.
On mobile devices, the procedure may vary: for example, on iOS Safari, it is located at Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security (“Block Cookies”), and on Chrome for Android, at Settings > Site settings > Cookies. It is recommended to consult the help or support section of the specific browser used on each device.
Additionally, the User can manage third-party cookies using specific tools, such as Ghostery, Your Online Choices (www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/), or the opt-out options of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/). These tools allow opting out of cookies from certain networks and providers.
Withdrawal of consent
At any time, the User may withdraw previously granted consent for the installation of non-essential cookies through the described methods (by configuring their browser to reject cookies or using the Website’s cookie preferences panel, if available). Withdrawal of consent does not have retroactive effects: cookies that were already installed on the User’s device prior to withdrawal can be manually deleted as indicated. Note that if consent for functional or personalization cookies is withdrawn or denied, some features of the Website may become unavailable or lose some functionality.
b.Consequences of disabling cookies
If the User decides to block or delete necessary cookies, some functionalities of the Website may be disabled, and the browsing experience may be impaired. For example, the User may need to log in on each visit, some preferences may not be saved, or certain online operations may not be possible. Prosegur Crypto cannot guarantee the proper functioning of the platform if technical cookies are completely disabled.
In contrast, rejecting non-essential cookies (analytics or advertising) will not affect basic use of the Website, beyond the limitation of features associated with those cookies (for example, aggregated analytics data about your visit may not be collected, or ads may be less relevant, but you can navigate normally).
c.Updates to the Cookies Policy
Prosegur Crypto may periodically update this Cookies Policy, for example, to adapt to changes in the cookies used or to new legal requirements. It is recommended that the User review this policy from time to time. In case of significant changes, users will be informed via a visible notice on the Website or by other means if required by law. Continued use of the Website after such modifications implies acceptance of the updated Cookies Policy.
