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. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customisations, 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 our website works. The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during browsing and on future visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt 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, password, etc.

Who uses the information stored in cookies?

The information stored in cookies on our website is used exclusively by us, with the exception of 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, statistics collected on the number of visits, the most popular content, etc. are usually managed by GOOGLE ANALYTICS.

Third-party cookies are also often used to guarantee payment transactions made through the website.

How can I avoid the use of cookies on this website?

If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REFUSE their use or you can CONFIGURE which ones you want to avoid and which ones you allow to be used (in this document we provide you with further information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, 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 wish to revoke your consent, you will have to delete the cookies and reconfigure them.

How do I disable and delete cookies?

To restrict, block or delete cookies from this website (and those used by third parties), you can do so at any time by modifying your browser settings. Please note that these settings are different for each browser, although it is common to find cookie settings in the “Preferences”, “Tools” or “Options” menu and then in “Privacy and Security” or “Delete browsing data”, etc.

For more details on cookie settings in each browser, please consult the “Help” menu.

What types of cookies are used on this website?

Each website uses its own cookies.

CLASSIFICATION OF COOKIES 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 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 publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through 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 own cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, to improve the services it provides or to provide advertising services on behalf of other entities).

ACCORDING TO THEIR 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 areas, remembering the items in an order, completing the purchase process for an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to service security, requesting registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing licences for the software with which the service operates (website, platform or application), using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (e.g. animation of text or image loading) or sharing content through social networks.

Analysis cookies:

These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out statistical measurement and analysis of the use made by users of the service offered. To do this, we analyse your browsing on our website in order to improve the products or services we offer you.

Preference or personalisation cookies:

These cookies allow information to be remembered so that the user can access 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 be displayed 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.

Behavioural advertising cookies:

These are cookies that, whether processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyse your Internet browsing habits so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.

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 relevant for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.

Persistent cookies

These are cookies in which the data remains stored on 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, specific consideration should be given to whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended that their duration be reduced to the minimum necessary for the purpose of their use. To this end, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiry must be related to its purpose. As a result, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
