What are cookies?

In English, the term “cookie” means biscuit, but in the context 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 your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content personalisation, etc.

There are other technologies that work in a similar way 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 are used to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during navigation and on future visits. The information collected through cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, and more.

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.

The information stored in cookies on 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 us with services to improve the user experience. For example, statistics on the number of visits, the most popular content, etc., are usually managed by GOOGLE ANALYTICS.

Third-party cookies are also often used to ensure payment operations carried out through the website.

If you wish to withdraw your consent, you will need to delete the cookies and reconfigure them.

What types of cookies are used on this website?

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

ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM

  • First-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the website 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 computer or domain not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

In cases where cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the website owner but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or offering advertising services on behalf of other entities).

ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE

  • Technical cookies: these are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, remembering the elements of an order, completing the purchase process, managing payments, controlling fraud related to service security, registering for events, counting visits for software licensing billing purposes (website, platform or application), using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio distribution, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animations for text or images) or sharing content on social networks.
  • Analytics cookies: these allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out statistical measurement and analysis of how users use the service offered. For this purpose, browsing on our website is analysed in order to improve the range of products or services we offer.
  • Preference or personalisation cookies: these allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, number of search results displayed, appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser or region from which the user accesses the service, etc.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: these, whether processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyse your browsing habits on the Internet in order to show you advertising related to your browsing profile.

ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE

  • Session cookies: these are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website.
  • Persistent cookies: these are cookies in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller.
