Cookies policy

We hereby inform you that, in compliance with legislation in force on data protection, this website uses first-party and third-party cookies.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to a user’s device when a website is accessed, the purpose of which is to store and recover information about the browsing that is performed on the device.

Types of cookies:

• Depending on the entity that manages them:
  • First-party cookies: these cookies are sent to the terminal equipment of a user from a unit or domain that is managed by the actual editor and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: these cookies are sent to a user's terminal equipment from equipment or a domain that is not managed by the editor, rather by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. Types of third-party cookies:
  • Load-balancing cookies: they are used to collect data that help to regulate, divide and manage the congestion of servers. They are deemed to be necessary for communication through the Internet. They only identify a server, and they therefore do not contain personal data.

Cookies for customising the user interface: they are used, among other reasons, to indicate the preferred language or the content format. They do not require any particular identifier, and they therefore do not constitute personal information.

• Depending on the time that the cookie remains active on the equipment:
  • Session cookies: they are temporary cookies that remain in the cookies file of your browser until you leave the website, wherefore none are recorded on a user’s hard drive. The information obtained through these cookies is used to analyse the traffic trends of the site. In the long term, this lets us provide a better experience by improving content and facilitating use of the site.
  • Permanent cookies: they are stored on the hard drive, and our website reads them every time that a user visits the site again. A permanent cookie can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the manager of the cookie; after that date, it will cease to function.
    
• Depending on their purpose:
  • Technical cookies: They allow users to browse through a website, a platform or an application and to use the various options or services that exist there
• Personalisation cookies: They allow users to access a service with certain general, predefined characteristics according to a series of criteria on the user's terminal, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional configuration where the service is accessed, etc.
• • Analytical cookies: They allow a cookie manager to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the websites to which the cookies are linked. The information gathered using this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms and prepare browsing profiles of the users of those sites, applications and platforms so that improvements can be introduced according to the analysis of the data on use that users make of the service.

Advertising cookies

They allow the most effective possible management of the advertising spaces that, if applicable, an editor has included on a website, application or platform from which a service is requested, based on criteria such as edited content or the frequency at which ads are shown.

Behavioural advertising cookies

These cookies store information about user behaviour, obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows developing a specific profile for showing advertising according to that profile.
