What are cookies?

In English, the term «cookie» means a small baked good, but in web browsing, a «cookie» is something entirely different.

When you access our website, a small amount of text is stored in your device’s browser, referred to as a «cookie.» This text contains various information about your browsing habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.

There are other technologies that function 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 types of cookies are used on this website?

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

BY ENTITY MANAGING THEM

• First-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s device from a system or domain managed by the website’s owner and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
• Third-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s device from a system or domain not managed by the website’s owner, but by another entity that processes data collected through the cookies.

In the event that cookies are served from a system or domain managed by the website’s owner, but the information collected is managed by a third party, these cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for their own purposes (e.g., improving services or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).

BY PURPOSE

• Technical cookies: these are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in a shopping cart, completing the purchase process, managing payments, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, registering or participating in an event, counting visits for software licensing purposes, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio distribution, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of text or images), or sharing content via social networks.
• Analytical cookies: these allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of how users use the services provided. This analysis is performed to improve the products or services we offer.
• Preference or customization cookies: these remember information so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of search results displayed, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser or region from which the user accesses the service, etc.
• Behavioral advertising cookies: these allow us, or third parties, to analyze your Internet browsing habits to show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
