Cookie Policy
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 in your device’s browser, known as a “cookie”. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content personalization, 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, they help us remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during browsing and on future visits. The information collected through 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 obtaining 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, except for those identified as “third-party cookies”, which are used and managed by external entities that provide services to improve the user experience. For example, statistics on the number of visits, most-liked content, etc., are usually managed by Google Analytics.
How can you avoid the use of cookies on this Website?
If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT them or CONFIGURE which ones you want to avoid and which ones you allow (this document provides detailed information on each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc.).

What types of cookies are used on this Website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our Website, we use the following:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the User’s device from a device or domain managed by the website owner and from which the requested service is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the User’s device from a device or domain not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are served from a device or domain managed by the website owner, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving its services or providing advertising services to other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for navigation and proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, processing event registration requests, counting visits for software license billing purposes, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio distribution, and enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animations of text or images).
Analytics cookies:
These allow quantification of the number of users and thus enable statistical measurement and analysis of how users use the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These allow information to be remembered 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 search results displayed, appearance or content depending on the browser used, or the region from which the service is accessed.
Behavioral advertising cookies:
These cookies, processed by us or by third parties, allow analysis of your browsing habits on the Internet so we can display advertising related to your browsing profile.
ACCORDING TO THE TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a webpage. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for providing the requested service on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These are cookies where data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period set by the cookie owner, which may range from minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to keep their duration to the minimum necessary according to their purpose. For these purposes, 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. Therefore, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
