We use our own cookies and those of third parties in order to improve our services, personalise our website, facilitate user navigation, provide a better user experience when using the website, identify issues so as to improve it, carry out usage measurements and statistics, and display advertising related to your preferences through analysis of your use of the website.

We hereby inform you that we may use cookies on your device provided that the user has given their consent, except in cases where cookies are strictly necessary for browsing our website.

Cookies and other similar technologies, such as local shared objects, flash cookies or pixels, are tools used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors, as well as to ensure the proper functioning of the website.

TYPES OF COOKIES

Types of cookies according to the entity managing them

• First-party cookies: these are cookies sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the owner of the website, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
• Third-party cookies: these are cookies sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain that is not managed by the owner of the website from which the requested service is provided, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. Likewise, where cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the website owner themselves, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they shall also be considered third-party cookies.

Types of cookies according to their purpose

• Technical cookies: these are cookies that enable the user to browse through a website, platform or application and to use the different options or services available therein, including those used by the publisher to allow the management and operation of the website and to enable its functions and services, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted-access areas, remembering the items that make up an order, carrying out the purchasing process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, processing registration or participation requests in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing software licences used by the service (website, platform or application), using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio distribution, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animations of text or images) or sharing content through social networks.

Also included in this category, due to their technical nature, are those cookies that enable the most efficient possible management of advertising spaces which, as an additional design or layout element of the service offered to the user, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform based on criteria such as the edited content, without collecting user information for other purposes, such as personalising such advertising content or other content.

• Preference or personalisation cookies: these are cookies that 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, the number of results 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 they access it, and similar circumstances.
• Analytics or measurement cookies: these are cookies that allow their controller to track and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of advertising impacts. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms, with the purpose of introducing improvements based on the analysis of usage data made by users of the service.
• Behavioural advertising cookies: these are cookies that allow the most efficient possible management of the advertising spaces on the website. These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous monitoring of browsing habits, which enables the development of a specific profile in order to display advertising based on that profile.
• Geolocation cookies: these are used to determine the location of a user when they request a service. This cookie is anonymous and is used, for example, to offer appropriate information depending on the country in which the user is located.

Types of cookies according to the length of time they remain active

• Session cookies: these are cookies designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information that is only relevant for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and they disappear once the session ends.
• Persistent cookies: these are cookies in which data remains stored on the device and may be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which may range from a few minutes to several years.
