What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website we use the following:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT
- Own cookies: are those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third party cookies: are those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
In the event that the cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as its own cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes. (for example, the improvement of the services provided or the provision of advertising services in favor of other entities).
ACCORDING TO ITS PURPOSE
- Technical cookies: are those necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of our website, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, placing the process of purchasing an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, making a request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purposes of billing licenses for the software with which the service works ( website, platform or application), use security elements during navigation, store content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enable dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image) or share content through social networks .
- Analysis cookies: they allow the number of users to be quantified and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service offered. To do this, your navigation on our website is analyzed in order to improve the offer of products or services that we offer.
- Preference or personalization cookies: are those that allow the user to remember information so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the 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 the user accesses the service, etc.
- Behavioral advertising: are those that, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your browsing habits on the Internet so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED
- Session cookies: are those designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only interesting to keep for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear when the session ends.
- Persistent cookies: are those in which the data is still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it must be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since the risks to privacy could be reduced by the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their temporary duration to the minimum necessary taking into account the purpose of their use. For these purposes, Opinion 4/2012 of the WG29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Because of this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered excepted than persistent cookies.
