Cookie Policy

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through web pages. They are tools that play an essential role in providing numerous services in the information society. Among other things, they allow a web page to store and retrieve information about a user’s or device’s browsing habits and, depending on the information obtained, can be used to recognise the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on who manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

• First-party cookies:
  Those sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain managed by the editor and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

• Third-party cookies:
  Those sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. If cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the editor but the information collected is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification according to the length of time they remain stored in the client’s browser, which may be:

• Session cookies:
  Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information only needed to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products).

• Persistent cookies:
  The data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s responsible party, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Lastly, there is another classification with six types of cookies based on the purpose for which the obtained data is processed:

• Technical cookies:
  Allow the user to navigate through a web page, platform, or application and use the different options or services that exist in it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, making a request for registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for broadcasting videos or sound, or sharing content through social networks.

• Personalisation cookies:
  Allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as language, browser type, and regional settings.

• Analytics cookies:
  Allow those responsible for them to monitor and analyse user behaviour on the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application, or platform and to create browsing profiles of the users of said sites, applications, and platforms, with the aim of making improvements based on the analysis of usage data.

• Advertising cookies:
  Allow for the most effective management of advertising spaces.

• Behavioural advertising cookies:
  Store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing for the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.

• External social network cookies:
  Are used so that visitors can interact with the content of different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for users of these social networks. The usage conditions of these cookies and the information collected are governed by the privacy policy of the corresponding social platform.
