- WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies and other similar technologies, such as local shared objects, flash cookies, or pixels, are tools used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors, as well as to ensure the proper functioning of the site.
The use of cookies is widespread as it contributes to the more efficient operation of websites and, therefore, the services they provide.
These text files, known as cookies, primarily collect usage and browsing data, which can later be retrieved and used by the responsible party for various purposes. These may include, but are not limited to, observing user behaviour, personalising specific browsing features, determining the characteristics of the user’s browser or devices, creating custom audiences, and other purposes.
In no case does this website use cookies that can collect sensitive information about our users. Additionally, we will never know the identity of users exclusively through the cookies used by our website.

CLASSIFICATION OF COOKIES
There are various types of cookies:
Based on ownership:
- First-party cookies: Generated by a device or domain managed by the web editor themselves.
- Third-party cookies: Generated and sent to the user’s terminal by a third-party service that the editor is using on their website.
In this regard, we use both first-party and third-party cookies.
Based on their duration or the time they remain active:
- Session cookies: Collect and store data while the user accesses a webpage. They are typically used to store information that is only necessary for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion.
- Persistent cookies: A type of cookie in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s owner, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
In this regard, we use both session and persistent cookies.
Based on their purpose:
- Technical or strictly necessary cookies: These are the ones that allow the user to browse a webpage, platform, or application and to use the different options or services available on it.
- Personalisation cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as language, the type of browser through which they access the service, regional settings, etc.
- Analytics cookies: These enable the responsible party to track and analyse the behaviour of users on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications, or platforms and to create browsing profiles of users on these sites, applications, and platforms, with the aim of introducing improvements based on the analysis of the data regarding how users use the service.
- Advertising cookies: These are used to manage, in the most effective way possible, the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the editor has included on a webpage, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided, based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency with which the adverts are displayed.
- Social cookies: These are necessary for the operation of widgets that allow the webpage to interact with social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.).
- Behavioural advertising cookies: These enable the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the editor has included on a webpage, application, or platform from which the requested service is provided. These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing a specific profile to be developed to show advertising based on this profile.
In this regard, we use the following types of cookies: strictly technical cookies, personalisation cookies, analytics cookies, and behavioural advertising cookies.
Before installing any non-essential cookies, we will request the user’s consent, informing them in advance through the appropriate cookie notice.
