What are cookies?
In English, the term «cookie» means a type of baked good, but in the context of web browsing, a «cookie» is something completely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text called a «cookie» is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.

The information collected by the cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, and more.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party cookies:
These are cookies that are sent to the User’s device from equipment or a domain managed by the editor and from which the service requested by the User is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are cookies that are sent to the User’s device from equipment or a domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are served from equipment or a domain managed by the editor, but the information collected is managed by a third party, these cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services provided or providing advertising services for other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, processing registration requests or participation in an event, counting visits for software license billing purposes, using security features during browsing, storing content for video or audio dissemination, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of a text or image).
Analytics cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform the measurement and statistical analysis of how users use the Website.
Preference or customization cookies:
These cookies allow information to be remembered so that the User can access the service with specific characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to display when the User performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used to access the service, or the region from which the service is accessed.
ACCORDING TO THE DURATION OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
Session cookies:
These cookies are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a webpage.
They are typically used to store information that only needs to be retained for the duration of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products), and they disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
These cookies allow data to remain stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the party responsible for the cookie, which may range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, the necessity of persistent cookies should be specifically assessed, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies instead. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, their duration should be kept to the minimum necessary, considering the purpose of their use. To this effect, the Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are more likely to be considered exempt than persistent ones.
