What are cookies?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user’s or device’s browsing habits and, depending on the information they contain and how you use your device, they can be used to recognise the user.

There are other technologies that function similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as ‘cookies.’

What are cookies used for on this website?

Cookies are an essential part of how the website functions. The main purpose of our cookies is to enhance your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during navigation and on future visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your user interests, speed up any searches you perform, etc.

In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as obtaining information that enables us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits

What cookies are 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 the cookies on our website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified later as ‘third-party cookies,’ which are used and managed by external entities that provide services to enhance the user experience. For example, statistics collected about the number of visits, preferred content, etc., are typically 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 DECLINE their use or you can CONFIGURE which ones you want to avoid and which ones you allow to be used (in this document, we provide detailed information on each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc.).

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

How do I disable and delete the use of cookies?

The Owner provides information about its Cookie Policy in the cookie banner accessible on all pages of the website. The cookie banner displays essential information about data processing and allows the User to take the following actions:

  • ACCEPT or REJECT the installation of cookies or withdraw previously given consent.
  • Change cookie preferences from the Customize Cookies page, accessible from the Cookie Notice or the Customize Cookies page.
  • Obtain additional information on the Cookie Policy page.

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 setting is different in each browser.

Below are links with instructions on how to enable or disable cookies in the most common browsers:

Types of cookies used on this website:

Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:

BY THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT

Own cookies:

These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the requested service 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 editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies. If cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the publisher, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered own cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (e.g., improving the services it provides or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).

BY THEIR PURPOSE

Technical cookies:

Necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of our website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, making a registration or participation request in an event, counting visits for software license billing purposes, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of text or image), or sharing content through social networks.

Analysis cookies:

Allow quantifying the number of users and performing the measurement and statistical analysis of the users’ use of the website.

Marketing cookies:

They are used to provide visitors with relevant ads and marketing campaigns. These cookies track visitors across websites and collect information to deliver personalised ads.

Preference or customization cookies:

Those that allow remembering 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 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.

Others:

Other uncategorised cookies are those that are being analysed and have not yet been classified into a category.

BY THE TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED

Session cookies:

Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. 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 (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.

Persistent cookies:

Those in which the data is still stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, 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, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their temporary duration to the minimum necessary based on the purpose of their use. In this regard, Opinion 4/2012 of the Article 29 Data Protection Working Party indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement for informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent ones.
