We inform you that we can use cookies on your device, provided that the user has given their consent, except in cases where cookies are necessary for browsing on our website.

TYPES OF COOKIES

Types of cookies based on the entity that manages them:

Own cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the owner of the website providing the requested service.

Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the owner of the website providing the requested service but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies. Similarly, if cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the website owner but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they will also be considered third-party cookies.

Types of cookies based on their purpose:

Technical cookies: These allow users to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available, including those used by the publisher to manage and operate the website and enable its functions and services, such as control traffic and data communication, identify the session, access restricted areas, remember items in an order, complete the purchasing process of an order, manage payments, control fraud linked to the service’s security, make registration or participation requests for an event, count visits for the billing of licences of the software used (website, platform or application), use security elements during browsing, store content for video or sound broadcasting, enable dynamic content (e.g., text or image loading animation) or share content through social networks.

Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are cookies that allow for the most effective management of advertising spaces that the publisher has included on a website, application or platform as part of the design or “layout” of the service offered to users, based on criteria such as the published content. These cookies do not collect information from users for different purposes, such as customising advertising content or other materials.

Preferences or customisation cookies: These allow users to access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of search results displayed 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 the user accesses the service, etc.

Analysis or measurement cookies: These allow the entity responsible for them to track and analyse the behaviour of users of the linked websites, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms to make improvements based on the analysis of users’ usage data.

Behavioural advertising cookies: These allow for the most effective management of advertising spaces on the website. These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, enabling the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.

Geolocation cookies: These are used to know the location of a user when requesting a service. This cookie is anonymous and is used, for example, to offer the appropriate information depending on the country in which the user is located.

Types of cookies based on the time they remain active:

Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest 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 cookies have data stored on the user’s terminal and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
