QUIMELIA C.A. · COOKIES AND PREFERENCES
Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which technologies are necessary for quimelia.com to operate, and how you can decide whether optional technologies may be used.
Last updated: October 7, 20261. What cookies are
Cookies are small files or identifiers that a website may store in your browser or device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, may also be used to remember information or preferences related to browsing.
2. Privacy framework
Where a cookie or similar technology involves processing personal data, Quimelia applies Ecuador's Organic Law on Personal Data Protection, its General Regulations and applicable criteria issued by the Ecuadorian data protection authority. Where consent is required, it must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and may be withdrawn.
3. Quimelia consent manager
On the first visit, the site displays a preferences window with two choices:
- Accept: authorizes optional categories that may be implemented and properly disclosed on the site.
- Necessary only: keeps optional categories disabled and permits only technologies that are essential.
Your choice is remembered for up to 180 days, unless you delete cookies/browser storage earlier or Quimelia materially changes the consent manager and asks for a new choice.
4. Technologies currently used
| Name / category | Purpose | Duration | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| quimelia_cookie_consent Necessary · first party | Remembers whether you chose “Accept” or “Necessary only” and the consent version. | Up to 180 days. | Always active because it is necessary to respect your choice. |
| Equivalent local storage Necessary | Technical backup of the privacy preference where supported by the browser. | Until the preference changes or the user deletes it. | Necessary. |
| Analytics cookies | Aggregated measurement of usage and performance, if introduced in the future. | According to the provider disclosed in this policy. | Must not be activated without consent where consent is required. |
| Marketing or advertising cookies | Advertising measurement, personalization or cross-service tracking, if introduced. | According to the provider disclosed in this policy. | Must not be activated without consent. |
Current status: this version of the consent manager does not itself load optional analytics or advertising tools. If Quimelia later introduces third-party services using optional cookies, this policy should be updated and those services should respect the visitor's choice.
5. Strictly necessary cookies
These technologies support essential functions such as security, website operation and storing your privacy choice. Because they are necessary to provide the requested service or respect your preference, they cannot be disabled through the cookie manager without affecting that function.
6. Optional cookies
Optional categories — such as analytics, personalization or marketing — should remain disabled until there is a valid legal basis and, where necessary, you have provided consent.
7. Changing or withdrawing your choice
You can change your preference at any time using the floating “Cookies” button available on the site. You can also use the button below:
You may also delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect functions needed to remember your preference.
8. Third-party content or services
If a page later embeds third-party content — such as videos, maps, analytics tools or social media — those services may use their own technologies. Where they are optional and require consent, they should remain blocked until accepted and their providers should be identified in this policy.
9. Relationship with the Privacy Policy
For general processing purposes, data subject rights, recipients, transfers and controller contact details, see our Privacy Policy.
10. Updates
This policy may be changed when the technologies used, service providers or legal requirements change. The current version will remain available at this URL with the date of its latest update.
