Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

In English, the term “cookie” means biscuit, but in the field 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.

What types of cookies are used on this website?

Each website uses its own cookies. On our website we use those indicated below:

ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT

Own cookies:

These are those that 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 those that 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.

In the event that the cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own 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 those necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, carrying out the registration request or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing for software licences with which the Website service operates, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of a text or image).

Analytical cookies:

These allow the number of users to be quantified and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.

Preference or personalisation cookies:

These are those that allow information to be remembered so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, 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.

ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED

Session cookies:

These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page.

They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to retain 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 those in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it must be specifically assessed 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, it is recommended to reduce their temporary duration to the minimum necessary according to 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 expiry must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are much more likely to be considered as excepted than persistent ones.
