What types of cookies are used on this website?

Each website uses its own cookies. On our website we use the following:

 

ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT

• Own cookies:

are 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:

are 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 cookies.

In the event that cookies are served 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 own cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, the improvement of the services it provides or the provision of advertising services in favor of other entities).

ACCORDING TO ITS PURPOSE

• Technical cookies:

are those necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of our website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service,  make the request for registration or participation in an event, count visits for the purpose of billing licenses of the software with which the service works (website, platform or application), use security elements during navigation, store content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enable dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image) or share content through social networks.

• Analysis cookies:

allow quantifying the number of users and thus perform the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service offered. To do this, your browsing on our website is analyzed in order to improve the offer of products or services we offer.

• Preference or personalization cookies:

are those that allow to remember information so that the user accesses 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 be shown 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 he accesses the service,  etc.

• Behavioral advertising:

are those that, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your browsing habits on the Internet so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.

 

ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED

• Session cookies:

are those designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page.

They are usually used to store information that is only interested in keeping 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:

are those in which the data is still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, and that can range from a few minutes to several years. In this respect, it should be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as the risks to privacy could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their temporary duration to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use. To this end, Opinion 4/2012 of the WG29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. As a result, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
