What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
BY THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT
First-party cookies:
These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a machine or domain managed by the editor themselves and from which the requested service is provided by the User.
Third-party cookies:
These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a machine or domain that is not managed by the editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
In the event that cookies are served from a machine or domain managed by the editor themselves, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as first-party cookies if the third party uses them for their own purposes (for example, improving the services they provide or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).
BY THEIR 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, making a registration or participation request in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing licenses for the software used by the Website service, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of text or image), or sharing content through social networks.
Analysis cookies:
These allow the quantification of the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These are those that allow remembering information so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics that may 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.
BY THE TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a website.
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 a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These are those in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, 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, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize
