What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the ones listed below:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
Own cookies:
These are those that are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are those that are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
In the case that cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor 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, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services in favor of other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, 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 billing of software licenses with which the Website service operates, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of text or image).
Analysis cookies:
They allow quantifying the number of users and thus perform the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website. For this purpose, your browsing on our Website is analyzed to improve the offer of products or services we offer you.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These allow remembering information so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as 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 service is accessed, etc.
Behavioral advertising cookies:
These, treated 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 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 interests to keep 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:
These are those in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, 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, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their duration to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use. To this effect, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 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.
