What types of cookies are used on this web page?
Each web page uses its own cookies. On our site we use those indicated below:

ACCORDING TO THE ORGANISATION THAT MANAGES THEM

First-party cookies:
those sent to the user’s device from equipment or a domain managed by the actual publisher and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
• Third-party cookies:
those sent to the user’s device from equipment or a domain that is not manged by the publisher, but by another organisation that processes the data obtained via the cookies.
If the cookies are set by equipment or a domain managed by the actual publisher, but the information they collect is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, the improvement of the services it provides or the provision of advertising services in favour of other organisations).


ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
• Technical cookies:
those that are strictly necessary for the browsing and correct functioning of our web page, such as, for example, to control traffic and data communication, identify the session, enable access to parts with restricted access, remember the elements that make up an order, complete the purchase process of an order, handle the payment, control fraud linked to the security of the service, handle the application for registration or participation in an event, count visits for the purpose of invoicing or licensing of the software used to make the service work (website, platform or application), use security elements during browsing, store contents for the broadcasting of videos or sound, enable dynamic contents (for example, animation when loading a text or image) or share contents via social media.


• Analytical cookies:
these allow quantification of the number of users and thus enable a measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service provided. For this purpose, browsing on our web page is analysed for the purpose of improving the offer of products or services that we supply.


• Preference or personalisation cookies:
those that make it possible to remember information so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to be shown when the user makes a search, the appearance or contents of the service according to the type of browser with which the user accesses the service or the region from which the service is accessed, etc.

Behavioural advertising cookies:
those that, processed by us or by third parties, enable us to analyse your internet browsing habits so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.


ACCORDING TO HOW LONG THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
• Session cookies:
these are designed to collect and store data whilst the user accesses a web page.

They are usually used to store information that is only of interest for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products acquired) and they disappear when the session is closed.


• Persistent cookies:
These are a type of cookie in which the data remain stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the owner of the cookie, and it may vary from a few minutes to several years. In this respect a specific evaluation should be made as to whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since the risks for privacy could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended that their duration should be reduced to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use. For this purpose, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiry must be related to its purpose. Therefore, it is much more likely for session cookies to be considered exempt than persistent cookies. Details of the cookies used on this website:
