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 as “cookies” as a whole.
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 service requested by the User 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 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, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR 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 sections, making the registration request or participating in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing licenses for the software that the Website service uses, 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), or sharing content through social networks.
Analysis cookies:
These allow quantifying the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use that users make of the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These are cookies 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 based 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 TIMEFRAME 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 a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These are cookies in which the data is still stored on the user’s terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically considered 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 duration to the minimum necessary, considering the purpose of their use. In this regard, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 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 cookies.
