Cookie policy

The purpose of this cookie policy is to provide clear and precise information about the cookies used on our website.

We use first-party and third-party cookies to improve our services, personalise our website, make browsing easier for our users, provide you with a better experience when using the website, identify problems in order to improve it, take measurements and compile usage statistics, and show you advertising related to your preferences by analysing your use of the website.

Please note that we may use cookies on your device provided that the user has given their consent, except where cookies are necessary for browsing our website. If you give your consent, we may use cookies that allow us to obtain more information about your preferences and to personalise our website in line with your individual interests.

What are cookies?

Cookies and other similar technologies such as local shared objects, flash cookies or pixels are tools used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors, as well as to ensure the site works correctly.

Types of cookies

Depending on the entity that manages them:

First-party cookies: these are cookies sent to the user's terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the owner of the website, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
Third-party cookies: these are cookies sent to the user's terminal equipment from a device or domain that is not managed by the owner of the website from which the service requested by the user is provided, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. Likewise, where cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the website owner itself but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they will also be considered third-party cookies.

Depending on their purpose:

Technical cookies: these are cookies that allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and to use the different options or services available on it, including those used by the publisher to enable the management and operation of the website and its functions and services, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in an order, completing the purchase process for an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, submitting an application to register for or take part in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing licences for the software that runs the service (website, platform or application), using security features while browsing, storing content for broadcasting video or audio, enabling dynamic content (for example, a loading animation for text or an image) or sharing content via social networks. Also included in this category, owing to their technical nature, are cookies that allow the most efficient possible management of the advertising spaces that the publisher has included on a website, application or platform as one more element of the design or "layout" of the service offered to the user, based on criteria such as the content published, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as personalising that advertising content or other content.
Preference or personalisation cookies: these are cookies that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the language, the number of results to be displayed when the user performs a search, or 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 it, etc.
Analytics or measurement cookies: these are cookies that allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked, including measuring the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform in order to make improvements based on analysis of the usage data of the service's users.
Behavioural advertising cookies: these are cookies that allow the most efficient possible management of the advertising spaces on the website. These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which makes it possible to build a specific profile in order to display advertising based on it.
Geolocation cookies: these are used to find out where a user is located when they request a service. This cookie is anonymous and is used, for example, to offer you the appropriate information depending on the country you are in.

Depending on how long they remain active:

Session cookies: these are cookies designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a website. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept to provide the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and they disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies: these are cookies whose data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which may range from a few minutes to several years.
