What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means cookie, but in the realm of web browsing, a “cookie” is something else entirely. When you access our Website, a small amount of text is stored in your device’s browser which is called a “cookie”. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customizations, etc…
There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will call all of these technologies “cookies” together.
Our specific uses of these technologies are described in this document.

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
First-party cookies:
These are those that 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:
They are those 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 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 as first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, the improvement of the services it provides or the provision of advertising services in favor of other entities).
According to its purpose
Technical cookies:
These are those necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing parts of restricted access, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purposes of billing for the licenses of the software with which the Website service works, use security elements while browsing, store content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enable dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image) or share content through social networks.
Analysis cookies:
They allow the number of users to be quantified and thus measure and statistically analyse the use made by users of the Website.
Preference or personalisation cookies:
They are those that allow information to be remembered so that the User can access 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 the service is accessed, etc.
Depending on the length of time they remain activated
Session cookies:
They are those designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a website.
They are usually used to store information that is only interested in keeping for the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
These are those in which the data is still stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, a specific assessment should be made of whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as the risks to privacy could be reduced by the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their temporal duration to the minimum necessary, taking into account the purpose of their use. To this end, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that in order for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Because of this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
