Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

In English, the term “cookie” means a small cake, but in 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 varied information about your navigation, 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 these technologies 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 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 future visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor 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?

In the cookies we use, we 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 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 services to enhance the user experience. For example, the statistics collected about the number of visits, the content that is most liked, etc.

How can you avoid the use of cookies on this Website?

If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT their use or CONFIGURE the ones you want to avoid and those you allow to use (in this document, we provide expanded information regarding 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 next section. If you want to revoke your consent, you will need to delete the cookies and reconfigure them.

What types of cookies are used on this website?

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

BY THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM

• Own cookies: These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a device 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 device or domain that is not managed by the editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

In the case that cookies are served from a device or domain managed by the editor, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies if the third party uses them for their own purposes (for example, improving the services they provide or providing advertising services in favor of other entities).

BY 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 access areas, making a registration request or participation in an event, counting visits for the purposes of software license billing with which the Website service operates, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image).
• Analysis cookies: They allow the quantification of the number of users and thus the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
• Preference or customization cookies: These are those that allow remembering information so that the User can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as 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.

BY THE TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED

• Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page. They are usually employed to store information that is only interested in preserving 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 those 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 should be specifically assessed 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 to minimize their duration, taking into account 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. Due to this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
