This digital asset, which is the responsibility of Petróleos del Norte, S.A. (Repsol Group), may use its own and third-party cookies for statistical, analytical and/or advertising purposes, as showed in the first layer that appears on your device the first time you access it.

Below we provide more details about cookies so that you can make an informed decision about your settings.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that are installed on the user’s device to store, retrieve or update information. Through these, the person responsible for a digital asset (website, mobile, application, etc.) can learn about user’s usage and/or preferences when browsing their digital asset, and/or to personalize the offered services based on those preferences in those digital assets, where this functionality is available.
Please note that this cookie policy applies to both the use of cookies and similar technologies. We use the term ‘cookies’, because it is a widely used technology and includes both cookies in the strict sense and any other similar technology that involves the storage and retrieval of data on user’s terminal devices, such as, but not limited to, local storage (allows data to be stored locally on your browser or device and includes HTML5 local storage and browser cache), software development kits (blocks of code that can be installed in mobile applications), pixels (small images on a web page/application or email), or any other.
The information is collected in association with a browser or similar in a specific device. This technology allows us to know information such as what page you have visited before, how long you stay on our digital asset and what sections you consult. In this way, if you access our digital asset again, depending on the cookie options you have accepted, we could recognize you and offer you content and services of more value and more in line with your preferences.
Cookies are used for different purposes. For instance:
- To analyze and measure the number of visits the digital asset receives.
- To allow a user to navigate through a restricted area once they have entered their access code.
- To ease online purchases (cookies allow each product in the shopping ‘basket’ to be remembered).
- To remember the user preferences (language, font, etc.).
- To obtain information about other sites visited and provide advertising based on those visits.
What kind of cookies do we use?
The type of cookie we use may vary depending on the digital asset in which you are browsing, according to its type and purpose; in each case, we will inform you in the cookie configuration panel.
We may distinguish between the following
depending on the entity that manages the device or domain from which the cookies are sent:
- First party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third party cookies: These are those sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain not managed by the publisher, but another entity that processes the obtained data through the cookies.
