MINDEPENDENCE S.L.’s email marketing tools use small images that are invisible to users and are included in emails. This technology allows us to determine whether an email has been read, the date on which it was viewed, the IP address from which it was viewed, etc. With this information, we conduct statistical and analytical studies on the sending and receiving of emails to improve the services to which users are subscribed and offer information that may be of interest.

  • They establish levels of protection and security that prevent or hinder cyberattacks against the Website or its users.
  • They allow media managers to access statistical data collected through cookies to improve the quality and experience of their services.

  1. Analytical cookies: For periodic maintenance purposes and to ensure the best possible service to users, this website uses analytical cookies to collect activity statistics. The information collected will always be anonymous, and no link can be established between browsing patterns and individuals.

This website may use several of these systems, and you can consult the complete list in the list of cookies at the end of this document.
  1. Other internal cookies: In addition, this website may use various cookies to maintain user sessions between logins to the private or self-management areas provided.

  1. Third-party cookies for advertising personalization: This website may use ad servers and, therefore, cookies linked to them to create profiles based on preferences and behavior. If this occurs, these cookies will be detailed in the list at the end of this document.
