What are cookies?
In English, the term "cookie" means cookie, 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 function similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We'll collectively refer to all of these technologies as "cookies."
Our specific uses 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, tailor 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 an analysis of your browsing habits.
Why are cookies NOT used on this website?
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal 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, with the exception of 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 collected on the number of visits, most liked content, etc., are usually managed by Google Analytics.
Third-party cookies are also often used to secure payment transactions made through the Website.
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 (in this document we provide detailed information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc.).
If you have accepted, we will not ask you again unless you delete the cookies on your device as indicated in the following section. If you wish to revoke your consent, you will need to delete the cookies and configure them again.
How do I 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 these settings vary depending on your browser.
In the following links you will find instructions on how to enable or disable cookies in the most common browsers.
What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. We use the following cookies on our website:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT
Own cookies:
These are those 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 cookies that 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 (for example, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services to other entities).
ACCORDING TO ITS 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 areas, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purposes of billing for software licenses with which the Website service works, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the broadcast of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image).
Analysis cookies:
These cookies allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform statistical measurements and analysis of how users use the Website. To do this, we analyze your browsing experience on our Website in order to improve the products and services we offer.
Preference or customization cookies:
These cookies allow information to be remembered 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 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 needed to provide the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
These are cookies in which the data remains stored on 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, a specific assessment must be made of whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended that their duration be reduced to the minimum necessary, taking into account their purpose. For these purposes, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the obligation of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
