What types of cookies are used on this website?

Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use those indicated below:

ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM

Own cookies:
These are those that are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a device 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 device or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

If cookies are served from a device 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 for other entities).

ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE

Technical cookies:
These are necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our Website, for example, to control traffic and data communication, identify the session, access restricted areas, make a registration or participation request for an event, count visits for the purpose of software license billing for the operation of the Website service, use security elements during browsing, store content for video or sound broadcasting, enable dynamic content (for example, loading animation of text or image), or share content through social networks.

Analytics cookies:
They allow us to quantify the number of users and thus measure and statistically analyze the way users use the Website.

Preference or customization cookies:
These allow information to be remembered 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 used by the User to access the service or the region from which the service is accessed, etc.

ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF 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 is only needed to provide the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.

Persistent cookies:
These are those in which the data remain stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which may range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically assessed whether it is necessary to use persistent cookies, 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 as much as necessary according to their purpose. To this effect, Opinion 4/2012 of the Article 29 Working Party indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. For this reason, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
