Cookie policy

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

El/la USUARIO/A tiene la posibilidad de configurar su navegador para ser avisado en pantalla de la recepción de cookies y para impedir su instalación en su disco duro.

Please consult your browser’s instructions and manuals for more information. In order to use the WEBSITE, it is not necessary for the USER to allow the installation of the cookies sent by the website, without prejudice to the fact that in this case it will be necessary for the USER to register as a user of each of the services whose provision requires prior registration.

The use of cookies and other tracking technologies is standardized across all Websites and applications that collect information about your online activities through applications, Websites, social networks, or other services.

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

1.- What is a cookie?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a Website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a USER’s browsing habits or their device and, depending on the information they contain and how the device is used, 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 (so-called session cookies).

Most browsers accept cookies as standard and, regardless of them, allow or block temporary or stored cookies in the security settings.

2.- Why does this Website use cookies?

Cookies are used to improve your USER experience; therefore, they are an important part of how our Website works. Among other purposes, they may be used to remember the language you use during browsing and on 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 provide the USER’s name and surname by themselves. Thanks to cookies, it is possible to recognise registered USERS after they have registered for the first time, without them having to register on each visit to access the areas and services reserved exclusively for them. The cookies used cannot read data from your hard drive or read cookie files created by other providers. Las cookies utilizadas no pueden leer datos de su disco duro ni leer los archivos cookie creados por otros proveedores.

Similarly, our web servers automatically detect the IP address and domain name used by the user. All this information is recorded in a server activity file that allows for the subsequent processing of the data in order to obtain statistical measurements that allow us to know the number of page impressions, the number of visits to our web services, etc.

4.- What types of cookies exist?

  • Technical cookies: These allow the USER to navigate through the Website or application and use the different options or services available. For example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access web areas, remembering the items in an order, processing registration or participation requests for an event, using security elements during browsing, and storing content for video or audio dissemination.
  • Analytical cookies: These allow tracking and analysis of USER behavior on Websites. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure Website, application, or platform activity and to create browsing profiles of USERs of those sites, in order to introduce improvements in the service based on usage data.
  • Personalization cookies: These allow the USER to access the service with some general predefined characteristics on their device or defined by the USER. For example, language, browser type used to access the service, selected content design, device geolocation, and regional configuration from which the service is accessed.
  • Social cookies: Necessary to link the Website to your social networks.
  • Advertising and preference cookies: These allow effective management of advertising spaces included on the Website or application from which the service is provided. They enable the content of advertising to be tailored so that it is relevant to the USER and to avoid showing ads that the USER has already seen.
  • Affiliate cookies: Allow us to know where Website visits come from.
  • Third-party cookies: On some web pages, third-party cookies may be installed to manage and improve the services offered. For example, statistical services from Google Analytics and Comscore.

Depending on their duration, they can be:

  • Session cookies: Their validity expires when the browser is closed.
  • Persistent cookies: Their validity may vary; once they have fulfilled the purpose for which they were installed or when the USER deletes them manually.

According to the EU directive, cookies that require the USER’s informed and express consent are analytical, advertising, and affiliate cookies.

Technical cookies necessary for the operation of the Website or the provision of services expressly requested by the USER are exempt.
