Retention and processing of data
Data obtained through cookies is kept for the periods indicated in the table in section 3. Once the period has expired, the data is deleted or anonymised.
The processing of data obtained through cookies is governed by our Privacy policy.
International transfers
Some third-party cookies may involve international transfers of data outside the European Economic Area (in particular cookies from Google, Meta and other platforms based in the United States). In these cases, the relevant providers apply the safeguards required by the GDPR: Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), an adequacy decision from the European Commission, or self-certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) where applicable.
After the Court of Justice's Schrems II ruling (case C-311/18), PAPIK Group performs a transfer impact assessment for each non-EEA processor and applies additional technical and organisational measures where appropriate.
Users have the right to ask which third countries their cookie data is transferred to and which safeguard applies in each case. Requests can be sent to info@papik.cat.
Modifications
PAPIK Group reserves the right to modify this cookie policy to adapt it to legislative, technological or operational changes. The version in force is always the one published on the website with the last update date indicated at the top of the document.
