Cookie Policy

 

What are cookies?
In English, the term "cookie" means biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a "cookie" is something entirely different. When you visit 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 work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies."

The specific uses of these technologies are described in this document.

​

The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up searches, etc.

In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as obtaining information to show you advertisements based on an analysis of your browsing habits.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the ones listed below:

​

ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM

First-party cookies:
These are the ones sent to the User's terminal from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the requested service is provided.

​

Third-party cookies:
These are sent to the User's terminal from a computer or domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

​

If the cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the publisher, but the information collected by these is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for their own purposes (e.g., improving the services they provide or offering advertising services to other entities).

​

ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE

Technical cookies:
These are necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling data traffic and communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, making a request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for software license billing purposes, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or audio streaming, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of text or images).

​

Analysis cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and perform statistical measurement and analysis of the use made by users of the Website.

​

Preference or personalization cookies:
These allow remembering information so the User can access the service with certain features that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, number of results to display when performing a search, appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used to access the service or the region from which the service is accessed, etc.

​

ACCORDING TO THE TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE

Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User is accessing a webpage. They are usually used to store information that is only needed during a single session (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear once the session ends.

​

Persistent cookies:
These store data on the terminal and can be accessed and processed over a defined period by the cookie's responsible party, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically assessed whether persistent cookies are necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their duration based on their purpose. The Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement of informed consent, its expiration must relate to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are more likely to be exempt than persistent ones.
