Cookie Policy
What are Cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means biscuit, but in the field 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 the browser of your device. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.
There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will call all these technologies “cookies” collectively.
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

What Types of Cookies are Used on this Web Page?
Each web page uses its own cookies. On our website we use those indicated below:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT
First-party cookies:
These are those that are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are those that are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
In the event that cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services in favor of other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are those necessary for browsing and the 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 works, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image) or sharing content through social networks.
Analysis cookies:
They allow quantifying the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These are those that allow remembering information so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the 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 the User accesses the service, etc.
ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED
Session cookies:
These are those 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 disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These are those in which the data remain stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, and which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since the risks to privacy could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their temporary duration to the minimum necessary, taking into account the purpose of their use. To this effect, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that in order for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Due to this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered as excepted than persistent cookies.
