What types of cookies are used on this website?

Every website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:

According to the entity that manages it
  • First-party cookies: these are cookies sent to the user’s device from a server or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: these are cookies sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

Where cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be regarded as first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, to improve the services it provides or to provide advertising services on behalf of other organisations).

According to its purpose
  • Technical cookies: These are the cookies necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our website, such as managing traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items included in an order, completing the order purchase process, managing payment, monitoring fraud relating to the security of the service, processing registration or participation requests for an event, counting visits for the purposes of invoicing licenses for the software on which the service operates (website, platform or application), using security features whilst browsing, storing content for the streaming of videos or audio, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animations for text or images) or sharing content via social media.
  • Analytics cookies: these enable us to count the number of users and thus carry out statistical measurement and analysis of how users utilize the service provided. To this end, we analyze your browsing activity on our website with a view to improving the range of products and services we offer you.
  • Preference or personalization cookies: these are cookies that enable information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain features that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to be displayed when the user carries out 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 they access the service, etc.
  • Behavioral advertising: this refers to advertising which, whether processed by us or by third parties, enables us to analyze your online browsing habits so that we can show you adverts relevant to your browsing profile.
Depending on the length of time they remain activated
  • Session cookies: these are designed to collect and store data whilst the user is accessing a website. They are usually used to store information that needs to be retained solely for the purpose of providing the service requested by the user on a one-off basis (for example, a list of purchased products) and are deleted at the end of the session.
  • Persistent cookies: these are cookies in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the controller of the cookie, which may range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, specific consideration must be given to whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any event, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended that their duration be reduced to the minimum necessary, taking into account the purpose for which they are used. To this end, Opinion 4/2012 of the Article 29 Working Party stated that, for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement for informed consent, its expiry must be related to its purpose. Consequently, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
