What are cookies?

This website uses cookies and/or similar technologies that store and retrieve information about its visitors. A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your browser and whose main purpose is to remember who has already visited the page, facilitate navigation, store information about your preferences, analyze your interaction, or measure how you use the website’s services in order to improve them. Sometimes, they are also used to show you advertising based on your browsing habits and profile.
In general, cookies can be used for a wide variety of purposes, such as recognizing the user, obtaining information about their browsing habits, or personalizing the way content is displayed.

What are cookies NOT used for on this website?

We do not store sensitive information that directly identifies you personally, such as your address, password, credit or debit card details, etc., in the Cookies we use.
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described below.

Identifying who uses cookies

Depending on who uses the cookies, they may be first-party or third-party cookies.
  • Own: These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party: These are those that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

Types of cookies

To enable you to give your fully informed consent, the following describes what each type of cookie is and its purpose.
  • Technical cookies: these allow the user to browse through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist on it, including the management and operation of the website and enabling its functions and services, such as, for example, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, so they are considered necessary and do not require your consent. However, if these cookies are used for purposes that do not require consent (for example, for behavioural advertising purposes), consent must be given by the user.
  • Preference or personalisation cookies: these allow the website to remember information that changes the way the page behaves or the way it looks so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their choices of use of the website from those of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to show when the user performs a search or the region in which the user is located. If the user chooses these features themselves, for example by marking the language flag, this is considered an expressly requested service as long as the cookies are exclusively for the selected purpose of personalisation. These cookies do not require consent. Provided that they cannot be used for other purposes (such as, for example, the personalisation of advertising content) or to create a profile of the user.
  • Analysis or measurement cookies: these are cookies that allow us to understand how visitors interact with the web pages and thus carry out a statistical analysis of the use made by users of the website of the services provided. The information collected is used to measure the activity of the website or application in order to introduce improvements in the products and services offered by the party responsible. They allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service offered. To do this, your browsing on the website is analysed in order to improve the range of products or services that we offer.
  • Marketing or behavioural advertising cookies: these store information on user behaviour obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to show relevant and attractive advertisements for the individual user, and therefore more valuable for third-party advertisers.

Types of cookies according to the length of time they remain active

  • Session cookies: they are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They typically store information that is only necessary for providing the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
  • Persistent cookies: these are cookies in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie owner, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
This website uses cookies to enable the operation and provision of the services offered on this website.
