• What are cookies?

Cookies are files that store and retrieve information when browsing the website. They can serve very different purposes, such as, for example, recognising the user, obtaining information about their browsing habits, or customising the way the content is displayed.

The specific uses of these technologies are described in this Cookie Policy.

There are different types of cookies depending on who they belong to, what these cookies are used for and for how long they remain on the user's device and which are summarised below:

The types of cookies classified according to who they belong to are as follows:

1. First-party cookies: those sent to the user's device or browser by the owner of the website.

2. Third-party cookies: those that are sent to the user's device by third parties and are managed by said third parties.

In the table provided in the following section, third-party cookies are those whose provider is not the owner of the website but the entities indicated in the table.

The types of cookies classified according to their purpose are as follows:

1. Technical cookies: those that allow the user to browse the website correctly and correctly access all of its sections. And they guarantee, for example, the security of the website, among other things.

These cookies do not require the user to consent to their installation, because we do not use them for advertising purposes but in order for the website to function properly.

2. Preference or personalisation cookies: those that allow user preferences to be remembered on the website, such as the language, depending on the region from which the service is accessed. Or the number of results to show when the user performs a search. These cookies do not require the user's consent if it is the user who chooses these characteristics (for example, if they select the language of a website by clicking on the icon of the corresponding country flag), as it is considered a service expressly requested by the user, and provided the cookies exclusively adhere to the selected purpose.

3. Analytical or measurement cookies: those that allow user behaviour on the website to be analysed, thus providing insight as to which content is most interesting to them and to make it easier for the user to find what they are looking for. They also analyse the level of recurrence of visitors, that is, if they return to the website in order to improve the most visited areas.

Although it is unlikely that these cookies involve any risks to the user's privacy, because they are usually used on aggregate data (which does not identify the user) and for statistical purposes, current regulations do require the user's consent to be requested in order to install them on their device and/or browser.

4. Behavioural advertising cookies: those that store user information based on the monitoring of their browsing habits, which allows them to be shown advertising about their interests both by the owner of the website and by third parties.

The installation of these cookies on the user's device or browser requires their consent.

And among the types of cookies classified according to their duration or time that they remain on the user's device or browser, there are:

1. Session cookies: those that disappear from the user's browser or device when the session ends, or the website is closed.

2. Persistent cookies: those that do not disappear when the session is closed and their duration can be anywhere from minutes to several years, depending on how they are configured.
