This website, like most sites on the Internet, uses Cookies to improve and optimize the user experience.

Below you will find detailed information about what Cookies are, what type of Cookies this website uses, how you can disable them in your browser, and how to specifically block the installation of third-party Cookies.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are files that websites or applications install on the user’s browser or device (smartphone, tablet, or connected TV) during their journey through the site’s pages or the application, and they are used to store information about their visit.

Like most websites on the internet, this website uses Cookies to:

Ensure that web pages can function correctly.

Store preferences, such as the language you have selected or the font size.

Understand the user’s browsing experience.

Collect anonymous statistical information, such as which pages the user has visited or how long they have remained on the website.

The use of Cookies allows for optimal navigation, adapting the information and services offered to the user’s interests, to provide you with a better experience whenever you visit the website.

This website uses Cookies to function, adapt, and make the user’s navigation as easy as possible.

2. Typology, Purpose, and Functioning

Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session cookies or permanent cookies. The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire when the purpose for which they serve is fulfilled (for example, to keep the user identified on the website) or when they are manually deleted.

Additionally, depending on their purpose, Cookies can be classified as follows:

  1. Strictly Necessary (Technical): These are essential for the correct functioning of the page. They are usually generated when the user accesses the website or logs in, and they are used to identify the user on the website with the following objectives:
  2. Keep the user identified so that, if they leave the website, the browser, or the device and later return to that website, they will still be identified, thus facilitating their navigation without having to log in again.
  3. Check if the user is authorized to access certain services or areas of the website.
  4. Performance: They are used to improve the browsing experience and optimize the website’s operation, such as storing service settings, or storing the purchase made in a shopping cart.
  5. Advertising: These collect information about the advertisements shown to users of the website. They can be of two types:
  6. Anonymous: They only collect information about the advertising spaces shown on the website, regardless of the user accessing the website, i.e., without expressly identifying them.
  7. Personalized: They collect personal information from the user of the website by a third party, for the personalization of those advertising spaces.
  8. Geo-location: These Cookies are used to find out in which country or region the user is when accessing a service on the website in order to offer content or services appropriate to their location.
  9. Analytical: They collect information about the user’s browsing experience on the website, normally anonymously, although occasionally they also allow the user to be uniquely and unequivocally identified in order to obtain reports on users’ interests in the services offered by the website.
