What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means a biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different.
When you access our website, a small amount of text called a “cookie” is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customization, etc.
There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.
What are cookies used for on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how our website works. The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during navigation and for future visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, etc.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as obtaining information that allows us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.
What are cookies NOT used for on this website?
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal identification information such as your name, address, password, etc.
Who uses the information stored in the cookies?
The information stored in the cookies of our website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified below as ‘third-party cookies,’ which are used and managed by external entities that provide services to improve the user experience. For example, statistics collected on the number of visits, the most liked content, etc., are usually managed by GOOGLE ANALYTICS.
Third-party cookies are also commonly used to ensure payment operations carried out through the website.
How can I avoid the use of cookies on this website?
If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT their use or CONFIGURE which ones you want to avoid and which ones you allow to use (in this document we provide detailed information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc.).
If you have accepted them, we will not ask you again unless you delete the cookies on your device as indicated in the next section.
If you want to revoke consent, you will need to delete the cookies and reconfigure them.
How do I disable and delete the use of cookies?
To restrict, block, or delete cookies from this website (and those used by third parties), you can do so at any time by modifying your browser settings. Note that this configuration is different in each browser, although it is common to find the cookie settings in the ‘Preferences’ ‘Tools’ ‘Options’ menu and then in ‘Privacy and Security’ or ‘clear browsing data,’ etc.
For more details on cookie configuration in each browser, you can consult the ‘Help’ menu of the browser.
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 sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain managed by the editor and from which the requested service is provided.
- Third-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain that is 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 but the information collected 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 to other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
- Technical cookies: these are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website, such as controlling data traffic and communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering elements that make up an order, processing the purchase of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to service security, requesting registration or participation in an event, counting visits for software license billing purposes, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound broadcasting, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of a text or image), or sharing content through social networks.
- Analysis cookies: these allow us to quantify the number of users and thus measure and analyze statistically how users use the offered service. We analyze your browsing on our website to improve the 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, 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, whether 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 employed to store information only needed to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) 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’s responsible party, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it is necessary to specifically assess whether the use of persistent cookies is needed, as privacy risks could be reduced using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their duration considering the purpose of their use. To this effect, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the informed consent obligation, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
