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:
These are cookies 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:
These are cookies 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 these 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 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 controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, making the registration or participation request in an event, counting visits for the billing of licenses of the software with which the Website service works, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound dissemination, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of text or image), or sharing content through social networks.
Analytical cookies:
Allow quantifying the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
Preference or customization cookies:
These are those that 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, for example, the language, the number of results to show 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 cookies:
These 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 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 keep for the provision of the service requested by the User on one occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These are those in which the data is still stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it must be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since 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 minimize their temporal duration to the minimum necessary depending on the purpose of their use.
