What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something completely different.
When you access our website, a small amount of text called a “cookie” is stored in the browser of your device. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.
There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will call all of these technologies “cookies” together.
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

The information collected in the cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up the searches you perform, etc.

For more details on the cookie settings in each browser, you can consult the ‘Help’ menu of the browser.
What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website we use the ones listed below:
SEGÚN LA ENTIDAD QUE LO GESTIONA
- 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 the 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 first-party 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 on behalf of other entities).
ACCORDING TO ITS PURPOSE
- Technical cookies: These are necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of our website, such as, for example, 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, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purposes of billing licenses for the software with which the service works (website, platform or application), using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation for loading a text or image) or sharing content through social networks.
- Analysis cookies: These cookies allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform statistical measurements and analyses of how users use the service offered. To do this, we analyse your browsing on our website in order to improve the range of products or services we offer you.
- Preference or personalization cookies: These are cookies that allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the 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 the user accesses the service, etc.
- Behavioral advertising: These are cookies that, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your Internet browsing habits so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
DEPENDING ON THE TIME PERIOD THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED
- Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a website. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to the user for the provision of the service requested on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and they disappear at the end of the session.
- Persistent cookies: These are cookies in which the data remains stored on the device 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, since the risks to privacy could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their duration to the minimum necessary, taking into account the purpose of their use. For these purposes, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the obligation of informed consent, its expiry must be related to its purpose. Due to this, it is much more likely that session cookies will be considered as exempt than persistent cookies.
