WHAT ARE THE COOKIES?
In English, the term “cookie” might mean a biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different.

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 THEM
Own cookies:
These 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 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 the cookies.
If the cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself but the information collected by them is managed by a third party for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it offers or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities), they cannot be considered as own cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes.
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of invoicing licenses for the software with which the service (of the Website) operates, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image).
Analysis cookies:
They allow quantifying the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
Preference or customization cookies:
These 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 the region from which the User accesses the service, etc.
ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD OF 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 products purchased) 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 for a period defined by the cookie’s manager, and that can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, the use of persistent cookies should be specifically assessed since privacy risks could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their temporal duration as much as necessary according to their use. To this end, the Dictamen 4/2012 del 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 exempt than persistent cookies.
