All websites that use cookie technology must have a cookie policy in order to clearly inform users about what cookies are, their purpose, the data they collect according to the types of cookies, how they collect and use this data, how long it is stored, etc.

It is important to obtain users’ consent before they start browsing. To do this, the COOKIE NOTICE must include a direct link to the COOKIE POLICY. Consent must be informed, so this Cookie Policy constitutes the complete information that the website must provide to all users.

Please note that in the section ‘What types of cookies are used on the website?’ and in the detailed tables at the end, you should only indicate the cookies used on the website: own, third-party, technical, analytical, session, etc. To do this, request the information from your web provider.

Below is a suggested text that you can adapt according to the cookies used by your website.

What are cookies?

In English, the term “cookie” literally means biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different.

When you access our website, a small amount of text known as a “cookie” is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various pieces of information about your browsing activity, habits, preferences, content personalisation, and so on.

There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies”.

The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

What are cookies used for on this website?

Cookies are an essential part of how our website functions. The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience — for example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during your visit and on future visits. The information collected by cookies also helps us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, and more.

In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as obtaining information that enables us to display advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.

What are cookies on this website NOT used for?

The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal identification information such as your name, address, password, and so on.

Who uses the information stored in the cookies?

The information stored in the cookies on our website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified below as ‘third-party cookies’, which are used and managed by external entities that provide services to improve the user experience. For example, statistics about the number of visits, the most popular content, and so on, are typically managed by GOOGLE ANALYTICS.

Third-party cookies are also commonly used to ensure secure payment transactions made through the website.

How can I avoid the use of cookies on this website?

If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REFUSE their use or CONFIGURE which ones you wish to block and which ones you allow (in this document we provide more detailed information about each type of cookie, their purpose, recipient, duration, etc.).

If you have accepted cookies, we will not ask you again unless you delete the cookies from your device as explained in the following section.

If you wish to withdraw your consent, you will need to delete the cookies and reconfigure your preferences.

How can I disable and delete the use of cookies?

To restrict, block, or delete the cookies from this website (or those used by third parties), you can do so at any time by modifying your browser settings. Please note that the configuration process varies between browsers, although it is usually found in the menu under ‘Preferences’, ‘Tools’, or ‘Options’, and then under ‘Privacy and Security’ or ‘Clear browsing data’, etc.

For more details on cookie settings in each browser, please consult the browser’s ‘Help’ menu.

What types of cookies are used on this website?

Each website uses its own specific cookies.

First-party cookies:

These are cookies that are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the website publisher itself, and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies:

These are cookies that are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the website publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

In cases where cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the website publisher, but the information collected through them is processed by a third party, such cookies cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses the data for its own purposes (for example, to improve the services it provides or to deliver advertising services on behalf of other entities).

Technical cookies:

These are cookies that are necessary for browsing and for the proper functioning of our website. They are used, for example, to control data traffic and communication, identify sessions, access restricted areas, remember the items that make up an order, carry out the purchasing process, manage payments, control fraud linked to service security, submit a registration or participation request for an event, count visits for the purposes of software licence billing (for the website, platform, or application), use security elements during browsing, store content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enable dynamic content (for example, text or image loading animation), or share content via social networks.

Analytics cookies:

These cookies make it possible to quantify the number of users and thus perform the measurement and statistical analysis of how users interact with the services offered. The data collected from browsing our website is used to improve the range of products or services we offer.

Preference or personalisation cookies:

These cookies allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with specific characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users — for example, language, the number of results to display when performing a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used to access it, or the region from which the service is accessed.

Behavioural advertising cookies:

These are cookies which, whether processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyse your browsing habits on the Internet in order to display advertising that is relevant to your browsing profile.

Session cookies:

These are cookies designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a website. They are typically used to store information that only needs to be kept for the duration of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and are deleted once the session ends.

Persistent cookies:

These are cookies in which the data remains stored on the user’s device 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. In this regard, the necessity of using persistent cookies should be carefully assessed, as privacy risks can often be reduced by using session cookies instead. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, their duration should be kept to the minimum necessary according to their purpose. For this reason, Opinion 4/2012 of the Article 29 Working Party stated that, in order for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Consequently, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
