Cookies

Accessing this website may involve the use of cookies. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored in the browser used by each user (on the different devices they may use to browse) so that the server remembers certain information that only the server that implemented it will subsequently read. Cookies facilitate browsing, make it more user-friendly, and do not harm the browsing device.

Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information relating to the preferences determined by the User during their visit to the Website in order to recognize them as a User, and personalize their experience and use of the Website, and can also, for example, help to identify and resolve errors.

The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the Website, and the sites visited immediately before and after. However, no cookie can access the User's telephone number or any other personal contact information. No cookie can extract information from the User's hard drive or steal personal information. The only way for the User's private information to be included in the Cookie file is for the User to personally provide that information to the server.

Cookies that allow for the identification of an individual are considered personal data. Therefore, the Privacy Policy described above will apply to them. In this regard, the User's consent will be required for their use. This consent will be obtained through a genuine choice, offered by means of an affirmative and positive decision, prior to the initial processing, and will be revocable and documented.

Types of Cookies

Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

  • First-party cookies: Those that are 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: Those that are 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.

If cookies are installed 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.

There is also a second classification based on the length of time they remain stored in the client's browser, which can be:

  • Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while a user accesses a website. They are typically used to store information that is only needed to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion.
  • Persistent cookies: The data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie owner, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with six types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:

  • Technical cookies: Those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist on it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in an order, completing the purchase process, registering for or participating in an event, using security features while browsing, storing content for video or audio playback, or sharing content through social networks.
  • Personalization cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria on the user's terminal, such as language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional settings from which the service is accessed, etc.
  • Analytics cookies: These cookies allow the website owner to track and analyze user behavior on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through these cookies is used to measure website, application, or platform activity and to create user browsing profiles in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of user data.
  • Advertising cookies: These allow for the most efficient management of advertising spaces.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on that profile.
  • Third-party social media cookies: These are used to allow visitors to interact with content from different social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are only generated for users of those social networks. The terms of use for these cookies and the information collected are governed by the privacy policy of the corresponding social media platform.

Disable, reject and delete cookies

Users can disable, reject, and delete cookies—in whole or in part—installed on their device by configuring their browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Explorer). The procedures for rejecting and deleting cookies may differ from one internet browser to another. Therefore, users should consult the instructions provided by their specific internet browser. If a user rejects the use of cookies—in whole or in part—they may continue to use the Website, although their access to some of its features may be limited.

Changes to the Cookie Policy

The Website's Cookie Policy may change or be updated, so it is recommended that the User review this policy each time they access the Website in order to be properly informed about how and why we use cookies.
