Cookies Policy

What are cookies?

In English, the term “cookie” means cookie, but in the field of web browsing, a “cookie” is something completely different.

When you access our website, a small amount of text called a “cookie” is stored in the browser of your device. This text contains various information about your navigation, habits, preferences, content customization, etc…

There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will call all of these technologies together “cookies”.

The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during navigation and on future visits. The information collected in the cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up the searches you perform, etc….

In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as to obtain information that allows us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.

Who uses the information stored in cookies?

The information stored in the cookies on our website is used exclusively by us, with the exception of those identified below as ‘third party cookies’, which are used and managed by external entities that provide us with services that enhance the user experience. For example, the statistics collected on the number of visits, the most liked content, etc… is usually managed by GOOGLE ANALYTICS.

Third-party cookies are also often used to secure payment transactions made through the website.

How can I prevent the use of cookies on this website?

If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT their use or you can CONFIGURE the ones you want to avoid and the ones you allow to use (in this document we give you more information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, temporality, etc…).

If you want to revoke consent you will have to delete the cookies and reset 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 the settings of your browser. Note that this configuration is different in each browser, although it is common to find the cookie configuration in the ‘Preferences’ menu ‘Tools’ ‘Options’ and then ‘Privacy and Security’ or ‘delete navigation data’, etc…

For more details on how to configure cookies in each browser, you can consult the ‘Help’ menu of your browser.

What types of cookies are used on this website?

Each website uses its own cookies. We use the following on our website:

ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT

• Own cookies:

are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

• Third-party cookies:

are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

In the event that the cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through these 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, the improvement of the services it provides or the provision of advertising services in favor of other entities).

BY PURPOSE

• Technical cookies:

are those necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our website, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, making the application for registration or participation in an event, count visits for the purpose of billing licenses of the software with which the service works (website, platform or application), use security elements during navigation, store content for the broadcasting of videos or sound, enable dynamic content (for example, text or image loading animation) or share content through social networks.

• Analytics cookies:

allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service offered. For this purpose, your browsing on our website is analyzed in order to improve the products or services we offer you.

• Preference or personalization cookies:

are those that allow remembering information for the user to access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate the user’s experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to be displayed 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 user accesses the service, etc.

• Behavioral advertising:

are those that, processed 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 LENGTH OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE

• Session cookies:

are those designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page.

They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.

• Persistent cookies:

are those in which the data remain stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their temporary duration to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use. To this effect, WG29 Opinion 4/2012 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Because of this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered excepted than persistent cookies.
