What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website we use the ones indicated below:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT
Own cookies:
These are those that are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher 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 publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
In the event that cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them 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 in favor of other entities).
ACCORDING TO ITS 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 access parts, remembering the elements that make up an order, carrying out the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to the security of the service, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing licenses for the software with which the service of the Website operates, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation of a text or image load).
Analysis cookies:
They allow quantifying the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use that users make of the Website. For this, your navigation on our Website is analyzed in order to improve the offer of products or services that we offer you.
Preference or customization cookies:
These are those that allow remembering information so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics 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 the region from which the User accesses the service, etc.
ACCORDING TO THE TIME 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 purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
These are those in which the data is still stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, and that can go 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 reduce their temporary duration to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use. For these purposes, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Because of this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered as excepted than persistent ones.
