Cookies Policy

By means of this section, the owner of this website informs you of its cookie policy, thus complying with the provisions of article 22.2 of Law 34/2002, of July 11, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce.

What cookies are and what they are used for.

Cookies are files that are downloaded to your device when you access websites that have them implemented and allow, among other functions, to store and retrieve information about a user’s or their device’s browsing habits and, depending on the information they contain and the way the device is used, they can be used to recognize the user.

Types of cookies used by this website.

Generally speaking, we can say that there are the following types of cookies. It should be noted that a cookie belongs to several of the following types since they, in turn, can be grouped by categories:

  • Own cookies: These are those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: These are those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
  • Session cookies: These are a type of cookies designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page.
  • Persistent cookies: These are a type of cookies in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
  • Technical cookies: These are those that allow the user to navigate through a web page, platform, or application and use the different options or services that exist on it such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the order purchase process, requesting registration or participation in an event, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound dissemination, or sharing content through social networks.
  • Personalization cookies: These are those that allow the user to access the service with some predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria on the user’s terminal, such as the language, the type of browser through which the service is accessed, the regional configuration from where the service is accessed, etc.
  • Analysis cookies: These are those that, either processed by the website itself or by third parties, allow the number of users to be quantified and thus perform the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the offered service. To do this, your browsing on the website in question is analyzed to improve the offer of products or services offered.
  • Advertising cookies: These are those that allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, if applicable, the editor has included on a web page, application, or platform from which it provides the requested service based on criteria such as the edited content or the frequency with which the ads are shown.
  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These are those that allow the management, in the most effective way possible, of the advertising spaces that, if applicable, the editor has included on a web page, application, or platform from which it provides the requested service. These cookies store information on users’ behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific profile to display advertising based on it.

It is also possible that when visiting a web page or opening an email where an advertisement or promotion about the products or services of the website in question is published, a cookie is installed in your browser to later show you advertising related to the search you have made, develop control of our ads in relation, for example, to the number of times they are viewed, where they appear, when they are seen, etc.
