The use of Cookies

Our website uses a technology called "cookies" in order to obtain information about the use of the website, improve users’ experience of the website and ensure its correct functioning.

Definition of “Cookies”

Cookies are small text files that websites send to browsers and that are stored on the user's terminal (computer or mobile device). The purpose of these files is to store data that can be updated and retrieved by the entity responsible for their installation. Accordingly, each time the user revisits a website, the browser retrieves the file and sends it to the website's server. Cookies have several functions, including collecting information about the user's preferences and remembering it, and, in general, facilitating the use of the website by the user, making it more useful by personalising its content.

Cookies can be classified on the basis of different parameters:

1. - Ownership: first-party cookies and third-party cookies: depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and that processes the obtained data.

2. - Duration: session cookies and persistent cookies: according to the length of time they remain stored on the user's terminal.

3. - Purpose: technical cookies, personalisation cookies, analysis cookies, advertising cookies, behavioural advertising cookies: according to the purpose for which the obtained data is processed.

  • Technical Cookies: These cookies allow users to browse the website or application and to use the various options or services that exist therein, such as traffic control and data communication, identification of the session, or access to the restricted-access elements of the website.

  • Personalisation cookies: These cookies allow users to access the service with a set of general characteristics predefined in their terminals or defined by the users themselves, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service or the selected content design.

  • Analysis cookies: These cookies are processed either by us or by third parties. They allow us to quantify the number of users of the website and thus carry out a statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service provided. Accordingly, the user’s browsing activity on our website is analysed in order to improve the range of products or services that we offer.

  • Advertising Cookies: These cookies optimise the management of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided, on the basis of criteria such as the edited content or the frequency at which the advertisements are shown.

  • Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies optimise the management of the advertising spaces that, where appropriate, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which the requested service is provided. They store information on users’ behaviour obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, enabling a specific profile to be created for the purpose of displaying advertising tailored to the said profile.

Cookies used on our website

Our website uses both first-party cookies, which are those sent to your computer and managed exclusively by us for the proper functioning of the website, and third-party cookies, which serve as a tool for analysing the interaction of users with our website. Through this analysis, we obtain information that can help us to improve the browsing experience and to provide users and customers with a better service.

Our website uses both temporary session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies store data only while the user accesses the website, while persistent cookies store data in the terminal to be accessed and used in more than one session.

Specifically, the cookies used on our website other than technical or personalisation cookies, and which therefore require the user’s consent, are listed below:
