What are Cookies?

In English, the term “cookie” means a 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 varied information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content personalization, etc.

There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We’ll use the term “cookies” to refer to all these technologies together.

The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

For example, statistics on the number of visits, the most popular content, etc., are typically managed by Google Analytics.

What Types of Cookies Are Used on This Website?

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

BASED ON THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM

First-party cookies:

These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher and from which the requested service is provided to the User.

Third-party cookies:

These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

If cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the publisher, 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 its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).

BASED ON 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 sections, making registration or participation requests in an event, counting visits for billing the software licenses used by the Website service, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the distribution of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of text or image).

Analytics cookies:

These allow quantifying the number of users and performing statistical measurement and analysis of users’ use of the Website.

Preference or personalization cookies:

These allow remembering information so that the User can access the service with certain features that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of search results displayed, 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.

BASED ON THE LENGTH OF 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 worth preserving 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 data is still stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the owner of the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, the use of persistent cookies should be specifically considered, as risks to privacy could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their duration as much as necessary based on their intended use. For this purpose, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 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 ones.
