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 personalization, etc…
There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies as “cookies”.
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during browsing and in future visits. The information collected in the cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up the searches you make, 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 the analysis of your browsing habits.
What are cookies NOT used for on this website?

Who uses the information stored in cookies?
The information stored in the cookies of our Website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified below as “third-party cookies”, which are used and managed by external entities that provide us with services that improve the user experience. For example, the statistics that are collected on the number of visits, the content that is most liked, etc.
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 the ones you want to avoid and the ones you allow to use (in this document we give you extended information regarding each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, temporality, etc.).
If you have accepted them, we will not ask you again unless you delete the cookies on your device as indicated in the following section. If you want to revoke consent, you will have to delete the cookies and reconfigure them.
How do I disable and delete the use of cookies?
To restrict, block or delete the cookies on this Website (and those used by third parties) you can do so at any time by modifying the settings of your browser. Please note that this setting is different in each 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?
Every website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party cookies:
These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher themselves 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 the cookies.
If the cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the publisher themselves, 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 their own purposes (such as improving the services provided 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 parts, making a request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for billing the software licenses with which the Website service operates, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (such as loading animation of a text or image).
Analytical cookies:
These allow quantifying the number of users and thus carrying out the 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 can access 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 they access the service, etc.
ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD OF 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 a single occasion (such as a list of purchased products) 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 for a period defined by the responsible party 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 privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their temporal duration to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use. In this regard, 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. Due to this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent ones.
