Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

In everyday English, a “cookie” is a type of biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, it means 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 activity, habits, preferences, content customisation, etc.

Other technologies work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies”.

The specific ways in which we use 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, they allow us to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) while you browse and during future visits. The information collected through cookies also allows us to improve the Website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, etc.

In certain cases, provided 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 an analysis of your browsing habits.

What are cookies NOT used for on this Website?

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

Who uses the information stored in cookies?

The information stored in our Website's cookies is used exclusively by us, except for those identified below as “third-party cookies”, which are used and managed by external organisations that provide us with services that improve the user experience. Examples include statistics on the number of visits, the most popular content, etc.

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

If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT them or CONFIGURE which cookies you wish to block and which you allow (this document provides further information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc.).

If you have accepted cookies, we will not ask you again unless you delete the cookies on your device as explained in the following section. If you wish to withdraw your consent, you will need to delete the cookies and configure your preferences again.

What types of cookies are used on this Website?

Each website uses its own cookies. Our Website uses the types listed below:

BY THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM

First-party cookies:

These are cookies sent to the User's device from a computer or domain managed by the website publisher itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.

Third-party cookies:

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

If cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the website publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if that third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, to improve the services it provides or to provide advertising services to other entities).

BY THEIR PURPOSE

Technical cookies:

These are cookies necessary for browsing and for the proper functioning of our Website. For example, they allow us to control traffic and data communications, identify sessions, access restricted areas, process requests to register for or participate in an event, count visits for the purpose of billing licences for the software that operates the Website's service, use security features while browsing, store content for video or audio playback, and enable dynamic content (for example, loading animations for text or images).

Analytics cookies:

These allow us to quantify the number of users and carry out statistical measurement and analysis of how users use the Website.

Preference or customisation cookies:

These are cookies that remember information so that the User can access the service with certain features that may distinguish their experience from that of other users. Examples include the language, the number of results displayed when the User performs a search, and the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used to access it or the region from which it is accessed.

BY HOW LONG THEY REMAIN ACTIVE

Session cookies:

These are cookies designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a website.

They are generally used to store information that only needs to be retained to provide the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products), and they disappear when the session ends.

Persistent cookies:

These are cookies whose data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, ranging from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, the need to use persistent cookies should be specifically assessed, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any event, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended that their duration be limited to the minimum necessary for their intended purpose. In this respect, Opinion 4/2012 of the Article 29 Working Party stated that, for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement to obtain informed consent, its expiry must be related to its purpose. Session cookies are therefore much more likely to qualify for an exemption than persistent cookies.
