What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means a biscuit, 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 work similarly and are also used to collect data about your 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 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 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 by the User.
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 as first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services on behalf of 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 access parts, making registration or participation requests in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing licenses for the software used by the Website service, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of text or image).
Analytical cookies:
Allow quantifying the number of users and thus carry out measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These 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.
ACCORDING TO THE TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
Session cookies:
These are 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 one occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These are 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, since the risks to privacy 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, taking into account the purpose of their use. For these purposes, 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, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
