What are cookies?
Cookies and other similar technologies such as local shared objects, flash cookies, tokens or pixels are tools used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors, as well as to ensure the website works properly.
The use of cookies is widespread, as it enables websites — and therefore the online service or services they provide — to operate more efficiently.
These text files, cookies, mainly collect usage and browsing data from users, which can then be retrieved and used by the party responsible for that cookie for various purposes: for example, and without being exhaustive, observing how the user interacts with the website, personalising certain browsing features, determining the characteristics of the user’s browser or the devices they use, creating custom audiences, as well as other purposes.
Under no circumstances does this website use cookies that may collect sensitive information about our users. Likewise, we will never know the identity of users solely from the cookies used by our website.
Classification of cookies
There are several types of cookies:
By ownership:
- First-party cookies: those generated by a computer or domain managed by the website publisher itself.
- Third-party cookies: those generated and sent to the user’s terminal by a third-party service that the publisher is using on its website.
In this regard, we use both first-party and third-party cookies.
By their duration or the time during which they remain active:
- Session cookies: They collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion.
- Persistent cookies: A type of cookie in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
In this regard, we use both session and persistent cookies.
By their purpose
- Technical or strictly necessary cookies: Those that allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and to use the different options or services available on it.
- Personalisation cookies: Those that allow the user to access the service with certain general features predefined according to a series of criteria on the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional settings, etc.
- Analytics cookies: Those that allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of the users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform and to build browsing profiles of the users of those sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data of the service’s users.
- Advertising cookies: Those that allow the most effective possible management of the advertising spaces that, where applicable, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which it provides the requested service, based on criteria such as the content displayed or the frequency with which the ads are shown.
- Social cookies: They are necessary for the operation of the widgets that allow the website to interact with social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.).
- Behavioural advertising cookies: Those that allow the most effective possible management of the advertising spaces that, where applicable, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which it provides the requested service. These cookies store information on user behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, which makes it possible to develop a specific profile in order to display advertising based on it.
In this regard, we use strictly necessary or technical cookies, analytics cookies (from Google Analytics) and behavioural advertising cookies (Facebook pixel).
Before installing any cookies that are not strictly necessary, we will request the user’s consent, informing them beforehand through the corresponding cookie notice or banner and giving them the option to decide on the appropriate cookie configuration/installation through an intuitive and easily accessible cookie settings panel.

Managing, configuring and deleting cookies
When accessing this website, the user will see a cookie notice or banner. This notice contains a hyperlink or link to a panel for configuring or managing cookie preferences, allowing the user to enable or reject them according to their type or category. Once the user has made their choice regarding cookie settings, access to the aforementioned settings panel will remain easily identifiable (via a link or floating icon) and will allow the user to modify their cookie selection and/or configuration, as well as to reject them.
Likewise, the user can also review their browser settings so that they are notified before cookies are downloaded to their terminal or device. Some of the most widely used browsers have advanced privacy options to prevent tracking, which send websites a request not to collect the user’s browsing data.
In any case, the user may also directly delete, through their browser, the cookies already installed.
