What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means biscuit, but in the field 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 various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customisation, etc.
There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies”.
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website we use the following types:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
- First-party cookies: these are cookies that are sent to the user’s device from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: these are cookies that are sent to the user’s device from a device or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
In the event that cookies are served from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered 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).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
- Technical cookies: these are cookies that are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted-access areas, remembering the items that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to service security, making an application for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for billing purposes of the software licences used by the service (website, platform or application), using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or sound broadcasting, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animations of text or images), or sharing content via social networks.
- Analytics cookies: allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of how users use the service offered. To do this, their browsing on our website is analysed in order to improve the range of products or services we offer.
- 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 to be 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 the service, etc.
- Behavioural advertising cookies: these are cookies that, whether processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyse your browsing habits on the Internet so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
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 webpage.
- Persistent cookies: these are cookies in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie.
