What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the ones listed below:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT
Own cookies:
They are those that are sent to the User's terminal device from a machine or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.
Third-party cookies:
They are those that are sent to the User's terminal equipment from a device or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
In the event that cookies are served from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through these is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).
ACCORDING TO ITS PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
They are necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, making a request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing software licenses with which the Website service operates, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of text or image).
Analysis cookies:
They allow for quantifying the number of users and thus conducting measurement and statistical analysis of how users utilize the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
They are those that allow remembering information so that the User can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to display when the User performs a search, the appearance or content of the service based on the type of browser through which the User accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.
Behavioral advertising:
They are those that, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your browsing habits on the Internet so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
Affiliate cookies:
They are those that allow tracking visits from other websites with which the Owner has an affiliate contract.
The Holder participates in the Amazon EU Affiliate Program. Amazon and other advertisers may install cookies on your device that are used to gather information, provide you with ads, display content based on your interests, or to track your browsing, storing affiliate information in case you make a purchase within the next 24 hours.
You will find more information at: Amazon Affiliate Program. Notice about user interest-based advertising.
ACCORDING TO THE TIME FRAME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
Session cookies:
They are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page.
They are usually used to store information that is only relevant to retain for the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
These are the ones in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie's responsible party, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their duration according to the purpose of their use. For these purposes, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the obligation of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. As a result, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent ones.
