Cookie Policy

 

The Website uses cookies when a USER browses through the sites and web pages of the Website.

The USER has the option to configure their browser to receive on-screen notifications of incoming cookies and to prevent their installation on the hard drive.

Please refer to your browser’s instructions and manuals for further information. The use of the WEBSITE does not require the USER to allow the installation of cookies sent by the Website, without prejudice to the fact that, in such a case, the USER may need to register as a user for each service requiring prior registration.

The use of cookies and other tracking technologies is standardized across all websites and applications, allowing for the collection of information about your online activities through applications, websites, social networks, or other services.

Below, we provide more information on how we use cookies and similar technologies and how you can control and manage them.

1. WHAT IS A COOKIE?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded onto your computer when accessing certain web pages. Cookies enable a website to, among other things, store and retrieve information about a user's browsing habits or their device and, depending on the information contained and how the device is used, they may be used to recognize the user. The user's browser stores cookies on the hard drive only during the current session, occupying minimal memory space and not harming the computer. Cookies do not contain any specific personal information, and most are deleted from the hard drive at the end of the browser session (session cookies).

Most browsers accept cookies as standard and, independently, allow or block temporary or stored cookies through security settings.


2. WHY DOES THIS WEBSITE USE COOKIES?

Cookies are used to enhance your user experience and are therefore an important part of how our Website functions. Among other purposes, they may be used to remember the language you use while browsing and for future visits.


3. WHAT INFORMATION DOES A COOKIE STORE?

The cookies used by the Website are associated only with an anonymous USER and their computer and do not, by themselves, provide the USER’s name and surname. Thanks to cookies, it is possible to recognize registered USERS after their first registration, without requiring them to log in at each visit to access areas and services exclusively for them. The cookies used cannot read data from your hard drive or read cookies created by other providers. The USER’s identifying data is encrypted for security purposes.

Similarly, our web servers automatically detect the USER’s IP address and domain name. All this information is recorded in a server activity log that allows subsequent data processing to obtain statistical measurements regarding page impressions, visits to our web services, etc.


4. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES EXIST?

  • Technical Cookies: These allow the user to navigate the website or application and utilize the different options or services available. For example, they enable traffic control and data communication, session identification, access to restricted areas, remembering elements of an order, registering for events, using security elements during browsing, and storing content for video or audio dissemination.

  • Analytical Cookies: These enable monitoring and analyzing user behavior on websites. The information collected through such cookies is used to measure website, application, or platform activity and to create user browsing profiles to introduce improvements based on user data.

  • Personalization Cookies: These allow the user to access services with predefined general characteristics in their terminal or those defined by the user. For example, language selection, browser type, selected content design, geolocation, and regional settings.

  • Social Cookies: Necessary to link the website with social networks.

  • Advertising and Preference Cookies: These allow for the effective management of advertising spaces included on the website or application providing the service. They enable ad content to be tailored to the user’s interests and prevent repeated advertisements.

  • Affiliate Cookies: Used to track the origin of visits to the Website.

  • Third-Party Cookies: Some web pages may install third-party cookies to manage and improve services, such as Google Analytics and Comscore statistical services.

Based on their duration, cookies may be classified as:

  • Session Cookies: These expire when the browser is closed.

  • Persistent Cookies: These remain valid for a variable period, either until they fulfill their intended purpose or are manually deleted by the user.


5. CAN I REJECT OR BLOCK COOKIES?

Users can choose at any time which cookies they want to function on this Website by configuring their browser settings. For more information, search for “manage cookies” in your browser, as the following instructions are provided as examples and may vary:

There are third-party tools available online that allow users to detect cookies on each website they visit and manage their deactivation.

According to the EU directive, cookies requiring the user’s informed and explicit consent are analytical, advertising, and affiliate cookies.

Technical cookies necessary for the operation of the website or for the provision of services explicitly requested by the user are exempt from this requirement.


6. UPDATES AND CHANGES TO THE COOKIE POLICY

The Website administrator may modify this Cookie Policy based on changes in cookie usage on its website, new legislative or regulatory requirements, or to adapt the policy to instructions issued by regulatory authorities, specifically the Spanish Data Protection Agency.
