4) What cookies are and what they are used for

ELUNIVERSAL.COM may, on its own or through third parties, provide a more customized attention and more effective services thanks to the use of cookies technology and/or Internet protocol. To render these services, ELUNIVERSAL.COM requires certain non-specific data from the users, notably the kind of browser they use, the model of their computers, the operating system they run, the name of their ISP and other details. ELUNIVERSAL.COM also compiles information about the sections of its web site that the users visit and the links that they choose in such sections. Using this information, ELUNINVERSAL.COM may fragment ads, design promotions and show other messages conceived to provide a better service.

The so-called cookies are very small files sent by a web page server to your browser and saved in your hard drive to store and monitor information on one user. The cookies are stored, among other reasons, to:

-remind ELUNIVERSAL.COM who each user is and directly access the user account data kept in the user's computer;

-calculate the number of users that access the web page;

-determine what sections of the web page are most visited by users and how long they visit them;

-provide assistance in case of promotions or e-mail alerts and measure the progress of the user as he or she participates in contests or promotions, and

-measure the traffic patterns of users.

The browser used by the user to access to the ELUNIVERSAL.COM web site may be programmed by default to accept cookies. If so, the user can set his or her browser to reject them. Browser configuration is entirely under the responsibility of the user, and ELUNIVERSAL.COM has no responsibility whatsoever in this regard.

5) Who collects the information and how it is used

When you are required any type of information, it shall be used and shared ONLY by the authorized personnel of ELUNIVERSAL.COM, unless otherwise indicated in the same section or any other section of the web site. However, because of the complexity of the system, other companies might get access to the information without ELUNIVERSAL.COM's knowledge. This policy does not cover this eventuality, as ELUNIVERSAL.COM has no control or monitoring power on the aforementioned. The user must check the privacy conditions under which he or she provides this information to said companies.

As a general principle, ELUNIVERSAL.COM does not share or disclose any information obtained from any of its users, except when the user gives his or her consent, and in the following cases: a) when required by the authorities and after the legal procedures are completed, and b) when ELUNIVERSAL.COM might find it necessary to meet the terms of use and any other terms of this web site or to protect the integrity of the rest of the users or the integrity of the company.

ELUNIVERSAL.COM might eventually share information with partners, providers, advertisers and third parties, but this sharing shall never involve confidential data, nor shall it be shared with other users of the web.

7) What options are offered to users to access, change and destroy their personal information

Users are in the capacity to decide whether ELUNIVERSAL.COM's information processing mechanisms match their tastes. If a user does not want to receive certain information, he or she will be able to advise the webmaster of it, either by the mechanism available or by e-mail. The users may also configure their browsers to receive or reject cookies, understanding that this might restrict some of the services of ELUNIVERSAL.COM, which shall not commercialize the information provided by the users or otherwise shall inform the user through e-mail.
