What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means a biscuit, but in 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 function 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 cookies:
BY 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 editor 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 editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through these is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as first-party cookies if the third party uses them for their own purposes (for example, improving the services provided or providing advertising services in favor of other entities).
BY PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, registering for events, counting visits for software license billing that the Website service runs on, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or sound dissemination, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of a text or image).
Analysis cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These allow information to be remembered so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the 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.
BY DURATION
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page.
They are usually employed to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
These are those in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it is specifically necessary to evaluate whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary since privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, their temporary duration should be minimized according to the purpose of their use. To this end, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the informed consent requirement, its expiration must be related to its purpose. As a result, it is much more likely that session cookies will be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
