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
Own cookies:
These are those that are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are those that are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
In the case that cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through these is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, the improvement of the services it provides or the provision of advertising services on behalf of other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR 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 parts of restricted access, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purposes of billing software licenses with which the service of the Website works, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic contents (for example, animation of loading a text or image).
Analysis cookies:
Allow to quantify the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These are those that allow remembering information so that the User accesses the service with certain features that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to show 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 from the region from which the User accesses the service, etc.
ACCORDING TO THE TIME PERIOD THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page.
They are usually used to store information that only interests to keep for the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
These are those in which the data continues to be stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since the risks to privacy could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their temporary duration as much as necessary according to the purpose of their use. In this regard, Opinion 4/2012 of GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Due to this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered as exempt than persistent cookies.
