COOKIES POLICY

What are cookies?

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

There are other technologies that function similarly and are also used to collect data on your browsing activity. We will collectively refer to these technologies as “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 enhance your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during browsing and for 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 purposes, such as obtaining information that allows us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.

For example, statistics on the number of visits, the most popular content, etc., are usually managed by Google Analytics.

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

What types of cookies are used on this website?

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

ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT

Own cookies:

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

Third-party cookies:

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

If cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor, 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, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).

ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE

Technical cookies:

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

Analysis cookies:

These allow quantifying the number of users and thus carry out statistical measurement and analysis of the use made by users of the Website.

Preference or customization cookies:

These allow remembering information so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to show 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 TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE

Session cookies:

These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page. They are generally used to store information that is only needed for providing the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.

Persistent cookies:

These are those in which data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed over a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this respect, it should 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 installing persistent cookies, it is recommended to minimize their temporal duration according to the purpose of their use. In this regard, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Therefore, it is much more likely that session cookies will be considered exempt than persistent ones.
