Cookie Policy
This cookie policy aims to provide clear and precise information about the cookies used on our website. We use our own cookies and third-party cookies to improve our services, personalise our website, facilitate user browsing, provide a better user experience, identify problems to improve the website, conduct measurements and usage statistics and display advertising related to the user’s preferences through the analysis of website usage. Please note that we may use cookies on your device provided that the user has given their consent, except in cases where cookies are necessary for browsing our website. If you give your consent, we may use cookies that allow us to gather more information about your preferences and personalise our website according to your individual interests.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies and other similar technologies, such as local shared objects, flash cookies or pixels, are tools used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors, as well as to ensure the proper functioning of the site.
TYPES OF COOKIES
Types of cookies based on the entity that manages them:
• Own cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from an equipment or domain managed by the website owner and from which the requested service is provided.
• Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from an equipment or domain that is not managed by the website owner but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies. Furthermore, if cookies are installed from equipment or a domain managed by the website owner but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they will also be considered third-party cookies.
Types of cookies according to their purpose:
• Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available, including those that the editor uses to enable the management and operation of the website and its functions and services. For example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access sections, remembering the items that make up an order, completing the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud related to the security of the service, making a registration or participation request in an event, counting visits for the purpose of software licence billing for the service (website, platform or application), using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or sound dissemination, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of text or image) or sharing content through social networks. Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are those cookies that allow for the most effective management of advertising spaces that the editor has included on a website, application or platform as part of the design or “layout” of the service offered to the user, based on criteria such as edited content, without collecting user information for different purposes, such as personalising this advertising content or other content.
• Preference or customisation cookies: These allow for the remembering of information so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of search results to display 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.
• Analysis or measurement cookies: These cookies enable the responsible party to track and analyse user behaviour on the linked websites, including measuring the impact of advertisements. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure activity on websites, applications or platforms and make improvements based on the analysis of user data.
• Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies facilitate the effective management of advertising spaces on the website. They store information about user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of specific user profiles for targeted advertising. • Geolocation cookies: These cookies are used to determine the location of a user when they request a service. They are anonymous and can provide relevant information based on the user’s country, for example. Types of cookies based on duration:
• Session cookies: These cookies are designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a website. They are typically used to store information that is only needed for the duration of a single session, such as a list of purchased products. Session cookies are deleted at the end of the session.
• Persistent cookies: These cookies store data that remains on the user’s device and can be accessed and processed for a specified period determined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can vary from a few minutes to several years.
