In English, the term “cookie” means biscuit, but in the context 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 customizations, etc.
There are other technologies that function similarly 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.
Cookies are an essential part of how the Website works. The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during navigation and for future visits. The information collected in the cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up the searches you perform, 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.
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal identification information such as your name, address, password, etc…
The information stored in the cookies of our Website is used exclusively by us, except for 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, the 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 operations carried out through the Website.
If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT their use or you can CONFIGURE which ones you want to avoid and which ones you allow to be used (in this document we give you detailed information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, temporality, 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 want to revoke consent, you will have to delete the cookies and configure them again.
The Owner displays information about its Cookie Policy in the cookie banner accessible on all pages of the Website. The cookie banner shows essential information about data processing and allows the User to perform the following actions:
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 this configuration is different in each browser.
In the following links, you will find instructions to enable or disable cookies in the most common browsers.
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website we use those indicated below:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party cookies:
These are those 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 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 the 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, the improvement of the services it provides or the provision of advertising services in favor 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, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to service security, making the registration request or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing licenses for the software 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, animation of loading a text or image) or sharing content through social networks.
Analytical cookies:
They allow quantifying the number of users and thus performing statistical measurement and analysis of the use that users make of the Website. For this, we analyze your navigation on our Website in order to improve the offer of products or services that we offer you.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These are those that allow remembering information 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 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 TIME PERIOD THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a website.
They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent Cookies:
These are those in which the data continues to be 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, the use of persistent cookies should be specifically assessed, since the risks to privacy could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their temporal duration to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use. To this effect, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Due to this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered as exempted than persistent ones.
