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 is stored on your device’s browser, which is called a “cookie”. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customizations, 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 collectively as “cookies”.
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.
What are cookies used for on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how the Website functions. The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during your navigation and on future visits. The information collected in the cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, etc.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as to obtain 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?
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal identification information such as your name, address, your password, etc.
Who uses the information stored in the cookies?
The information stored in the cookies on our Website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified later as “third-party cookies”, which are used and managed by external entities that provide us with services that enhance the user experience. For example, statistics collected on the number of visits, the most liked content, etc., are usually managed by Google Analytics.

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 MANAGING ENTITY
- First-party cookies:
These are those that 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 those that 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 THEIR PURPOSE
- Technical cookies:
These are those necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our Website, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, processing a request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing 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 (e.g., animation of loading a text or image), or sharing content through social networks. - Analytical cookies:
They 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 customization cookies:
These are those that 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, for example, the language, the number of results to display 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 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 worth keeping for the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and they 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 party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, the use of persistent cookies should be specifically assessed, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their duration to the minimum necessary according to their purpose. For this purpose, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 stated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Because of this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
