What are cookies?
In English, the term "cookie" means a sweet treat, but in the context of web browsing, a "cookie" is something entirely different. When you visit 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 personalizations, etc.
There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as "cookies."
The specific ways we use these technologies are described in this document.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Every website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
BY THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the User’s device from a server or domain managed by the website operator itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the User’s device from a server or domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
In the event that cookies are served from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, to improve the services it provides or to provide advertising services on behalf of other entities).
BY PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in an order, completing the purchase process, managing payment, detecting fraud related to service security, processing registration or participation requests for an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing for software licenses used to operate the Website service, using security features during browsing, storing content for the streaming of videos or audio, and enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animations for text or images).
Analytics cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus measure and statistically analyze how users use the Website. To do this, we analyze your browsing on our Website in order to improve the products or services we offer you.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These are cookies that allow us to remember information so that the User can access the service with certain features that may 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 depending on the type of browser through which the User accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.
Behavioral advertising cookies:
These are cookies that, whether 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.
BASED ON HOW LONG THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User is accessing a website.
They are typically used to store information that is only relevant for providing the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These are cookies in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it must be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their duration to the minimum necessary, taking into account the purpose of their use. To this end, Opinion 4/2012 of the Article 29 Working Party indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement for 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 cookies.
