Cookies Policy
What are cookies?

CLASSIFICATION OF COOKIES
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT
Own cookies: These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
THIRD PARTY COOKIES
These 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.
If the cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through them 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 on behalf of other entities).
ACCORDING TO ITS 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, remembering the items 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 a registration or participation request in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing licenses for the software with which the service works (website, platform, or application), using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of a text or image) or sharing content through social networks.
Analytical Cookies: They allow quantifying the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service offered. For this, their navigation on our website is analyzed in order to improve the offer of products or services that we offer them.
Preference or Personalization Cookies: These are those that 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, for example, the language, the number of results to show 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 Cookies: These 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 TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED
Session Cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. 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 one occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent Cookies: These are those where data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s controller, ranging from minutes to several years. In this regard, 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 duration to the extent necessary for their purpose. For this purpose, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
