Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

In English, the term “cookie” means biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something completely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text called a “cookie” is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.

There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will call all of these technologies together “cookies.”

The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

What are cookies used for on this website?

Cookies are an essential part of how the Website works. The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during browsing and on future visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up the searches you perform, etc.

In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other uses, such as to obtain information that allows us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.

What are cookies NOT used for on this website?

The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal identification information such as your name, address, password, etc.

Who uses the information stored in cookies?

The information stored in the cookies on our Website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified below as “third-party cookies”, which are used and managed by external entities that provide us with services that improve the user experience. For example, the statistics collected on the number of visits, the content most liked, etc. are usually managed by Google Analytics.

How can you avoid the use of cookies on this Website?

If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT their use or you can CONFIGURE which ones you want to avoid and which ones you allow to be used (in this document we give you detailed information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc.).

What types of cookies are used on this website?


Each website uses its own cookies. On our website we use the following:

DEPENDING ON THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT

Own cookies:

These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.

Third party cookies:

These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

In the event that the cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, the improvement of the services it provides or the provision of advertising services for other entities).

ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE

Technical cookies:

These are necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purposes of billing licenses for the software with which the Website service operates, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation for loading a text or image) or sharing content through social networks.

Analysis cookies:

These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform statistical measurements and analyses of the use made by users of the Website.

Preference or personalisation cookies:

These allow us to remember information so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to be displayed when the User performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the User accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.

ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED

Session cookies:

These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page.

They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to keep for the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and they disappear at the end of the session.

Persistent cookies:

These are cookies in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it must be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since the risks to privacy could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their duration to the minimum necessary, taking into account the purpose of their use. For these purposes, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the obligation of informed consent, its expiry must be related to its purpose. Due to this, it is much more likely that session cookies will be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
