Cookies Policy
What are cookies?
In English, the term «cookie» means biscuit, but in web browsing, a «cookie» is something entirely 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 work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will call all these technologies «cookies» collectively.
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 navigation and future visits. The information collected in 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 uses, such as obtaining information that allows us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.

For example, the statistics collected on the number of visits, the content that is most liked, etc.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the ones 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 cookies.
In the case that cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through these is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as first-party 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).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, requesting registration or participation in an event, counting visits for software license billing purposes with which the Website service operates, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound broadcasting, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of a text or image).
Analysis cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform measurement and statistical analysis of the usage that users make of the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These allow remembering information so that the User accesses the service with certain features that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as 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 THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED
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 only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
These are those in which the data remain stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, the specific need to use persistent cookies should be evaluated, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when installing persistent cookies, it is recommended to minimize their duration to the necessary minimum according to their use. For these purposes, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 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.
