What are cookies?
In English, the term "cookie" means a type of biscuit, but in the field of website browsing, a "cookie" is something completely different.
When you access our website, a small amount of text called a "cookie" is stored in the browser of your device. This text contains various types of information about your browsing, habits, preferences, customisation of content, etc.
There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We shall call all of these technologies collectively "cookies".
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.
What are cookies used for on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how our website works. The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during browsing and on future visits. The information collected in cookies allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up the searches you perform, etc...
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other uses, such as to obtain information that allows us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.
What are cookies NOT used for on this website?
No sensitive personal identification information such as your name, address, password, etc. is stored in the cookies we use.
Who uses the information stored in cookies?
The information stored in the cookies on our website is used exclusively by us, with the exception of those identified below as 'third party cookies', which are used and managed by external entities that provide us with services that enhance the user experience. For example, the statistics collected on the number of visits, the most liked content, etc. is usually managed by GOOGLE ANALYTICS.
Third-party cookies are also often used to secure payment transactions made through the website.
How can I prevent the use of cookies on this website?
If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT their use or you can CONFIGURE the ones you want to avoid and the ones you allow to be used (in this document we provide you with further information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, temporary nature, etc...).
If you have accepted them, we shall not ask you again unless you delete the cookies on your device as indicated in the following section.
If you want to revoke consent you shall have to delete the cookies and reset them.
How do I disable and delete the use of cookies?
You can restrict, block or delete cookies from this website (and those used by third parties), at any time, by amending the settings of your browser. Note that these settings are different for each browser, although it is common to find the cookie settings in the “Preferences” menu in “Tools” “Options” and then in “Privacy and Privacy and Security” or in "delete browsing data", etc.
For more details on the cookies settings in each browser, you can consult the “Help" menu of your browser.
What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website we use those indicated below:
DEPENDING ON THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT
• Own Cookies:
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 parties ookies:
are those that are sent to the user's terminal from a computer or domain which is not managed by the editor, 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 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, improving the services it provides or the provision of advertising services for other entities).
DEPENDING ON THEIR PURPOSE
• Technical cookies:
are those necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, providing access to parts of the site with restricted access, 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, applying for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing software licences with which the service works (website, platform or application), using security features during browsing, storing content for broadcasting videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation for loading a text or image) or sharing content through social media.
• Analysis cookies:
allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service offered. They analyse your browsing on our website with the aim of improving the supply of products or services that we offer you.
• Preference or customization cookies:
are those that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate the user's experience from that of other users, such as, for example, language, number of results to display when the user performs a search, 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.
• Behavioural advertising:
are those that, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyse your browsing habits on the Internet so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
DEPENDING ON THE PERIOD OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED
• Sesion cookies:
are those designed to gather and store data while the user accesses a website.
They are usually used to store information that only needs to be kept for the provision of the service requested by the user just once (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.
• Persistent cookies:
are those in which the data remain stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, 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 privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their time duration to the minimum necessary according to the purpose of their use. For these purposes, Ruling 4/2012 of GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiry must be related to its purpose. Because of this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered accepted than persistent cookies.
