What are cookies?

Cookies are widely used small files or devices installed on the user's browser to store, retrieve or update data. They allow the website manager to know what users’ preferences are when browsing their website and to personalise the services offered based on those preferences.

At www.iberdrola.com we use our own and third-party cookies to analyse and measure use, to ensure that our website is working properly and to improve our services.

The third-party cookies that we use at Iberdrola, S.A. (hereinafter "Iberdrola") to obtain information on visits, measure and analyse web browsing and personalise certain services are owned by Google, Microsoft Clarity, Bing and Youtube. 

You can consult all the information about the processing of personal data during your browsing of the website “www.iberdrola.com”, as well as during the use of the functionalities made available to you on it, in our Privacy Policy.

Types of cookies

Depending on their purpose, cookies can be:

Technical cookies: Technical or necessary cookies are essential for a website to work correctly and include basic functionalities such as identifying the session or giving registered users access to restricted access areas. That’s why technical cookies cannot be disabled.

Statistical cookies: These allow us to see how the user interacts with the website, gathering anonymous information during the time spent browsing it. The purpose of collecting this information is to make improvements to the website based on an analysis of aggregate data.

Preference cookies: These allow the website to remember information during your browsing time associated with the way the site behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or the region you are in.

Third-party cookies: These are cookies that are sent to your computer or device by an entity other than the owner of the website that processes the information obtained through the cookies.

For example, if you watch videos on the website through YouTube (an entity other than Iberdrola), this provider will deploy certain cookies so that the video can work. These cookies are sent directly by YouTube, not Iberdrola, to your computer or device.
