COOKIE POLICY

What are cookies?

In English, the term “cookie” means 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 customizations, 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.

For example, they remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during navigation and on future visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up searches you perform, etc. In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as obtaining information to show you advertising based on an analysis of your browsing habits.

What types of cookies are used on this website?

Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:

BY THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT

  • First-party cookies: These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.

  • Third-party cookies: These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a device or domain not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies. If cookies are served from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through these cookies is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (e.g., improving the services it provides or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).

BY 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, submitting registration or participation requests 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 text or image).

  • Analytical cookies: These allow us to quantify the number of users and conduct statistical measurement and analysis of the use made by users of the website.

  • Preference or customization cookies: These allow us to remember information so that the User can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, number of search results displayed when the User performs a search, appearance or content of the service based on the type of browser through which the User accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.

  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your Internet browsing habits so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.

BY THE LENGTH OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE

  • Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to keep for the provision of 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 cookies in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years. It should be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their temporal duration to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use. For these purposes, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement of informed consent, its expiry must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
