Cookies Policy

What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means a small file, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something completely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text, known as 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 similarly and are also used to collect data aboutyour browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively 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 our Website works. The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during navigation and on future visits. The information collected in the cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, 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.

What are cookies NOT used for on this website?

No sensitive personal identification information, such as your name, address, password, etc., is stored in the cookies we use. Who uses the information stored in the 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 enhance the user experience. For example, the statistics that are collected on the number of visits, the content that is 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 the ones you want to avoid and the ones you allow to be used (in this document we provide you with extended information regarding each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc.).

If you have accepted them, we will not ask you again unless you delete the cookies on your device as indicated in the following section. If you want to revoke your consent, you will have to delete the cookies and reconfigure them.

How do you disable and delete the use of cookies?

To restrict, block, or delete cookies from this Website (and those used by third parties), you can do so at any time by modifying your browser settings. Please note that this configuration is different in each browser.

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 THEM

First-party 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 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 first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (e.g., improving the services it provides or providing advertising services in favor of other entities).

ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE

Technical cookies:

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

Analytical cookies:

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

Preference or customization 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 language, the number of results to display 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 service is accessed, etc.

ACCORDING TO THE DURATION 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 relevant to the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (e.g., a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.

Persistent cookies:

In these, the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it is necessary to specifically assess whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their duration as much as possible according to the purpose of their use. To this end, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 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.
