What types of cookies are used on this website?

Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use those indicated below:

ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT

• First-party cookies: These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor 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 editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. If the cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected by 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, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services for other entities).

ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE

• Technical cookies: These are necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, making a request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for billing purposes for the software licenses that the Website service runs on, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, or enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation for a text or image).

• Analysis cookies: These allow for the quantification of the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.

• Preference or customization cookies: These allow information to be remembered so that the User can access 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 display 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.

• Behavioral advertising cookies: These, whether processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your Internet Browse habits so that we can show you advertising related to your Browse profile.

ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE

• Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to keep 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 cookies in which the data remains 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, it must be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since the risks to privacy could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their duration to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use. 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. Because of this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
