Cookie Policy

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or their device, and, depending on the information they contain and how the device is used, they can be used to recognize the user.

TYPES OF COOKIES:

Different types of cookies that may be used/that this website uses:
– Based on expiration:
Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in the browser’s cookie file until you leave the website. They are typically used to analyze website traffic patterns. Ultimately, this allows us to provide a better user experience by improving content and making it easier to use.

Persistent cookies: These are stored on your device and are read by the website each time you visit. Despite their name, persistent cookies have a specific expiration date. The cookie will stop working after that date, which can range from a few minutes to several years. They are generally used to facilitate the various services offered by websites.

– Based on who manages them:
First-party cookies: These are sent and managed by a computer or domain belonging to the publisher of the website you are visiting.
Third-party cookies: These are sent and managed by a third party other than the website publisher, when they originate from a different server.

– Based on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, we can distinguish between:

Technical cookies: These cookies allow users to navigate a website and use its various options and services, such as traffic control, user session identification, access to restricted areas, remembering items in an order, registering for or participating in an event, using security features while browsing, storing content for video or audio playback, or sharing content through social networks.
Analytical cookies: These cookies allow the website owner to track and statistically analyze user behavior on the websites to which they are linked. They are used to measure website activity and to create user browsing profiles in order to improve the service based on user data analysis. These cookies are processed by us and/or third parties. They collect anonymous/de-identified user information, such as the number of users and time spent, how many times the site is visited, the user’s origin, and keywords. Thanks to this, we can improve the range of products and services we offer.

The application we use to obtain browsing information, measure, and analyze our audience is Google Analytics (www.google.com/analytics). Through this analytics tool, we obtain information related to the number of pages you have visited, the duration of your visit, the number of new users, the frequency and recurrence of visits, site speed, and the browser and device used to access the site, etc. We do not use cookies to store visitors’ private information. We use these statistics to improve our content and provide better service to our visitors. For more information about the third-party tool Google Analytics, please see: http://www.google.es/intl/es/analytics/privacyoverview.html

 

 

Some services may use social media connectors (social plugins) such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. In this case, the user should consult the cookie policy of these social networks, since by using social login they are authorizing the social network to store a persistent cookie.
