What are cookies?

In English, the term «cookie» means biscuit, but in the realm of web browsing, a «cookie» is something entirely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text called a «cookie» is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customisations, etc.

There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will collectively refer to all these technologies as «cookies». The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

What types of cookies are used on this website?

Each webpage uses its own cookies. On our Website, we use the following:

ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM

First-party cookies:
These are sent to the User’s device from a computer or domain managed by the website owner and from which the service requested by the User is provided.

Third-party cookies:
These are sent to the User’s device from a computer or domain not managed by the website owner but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

If cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the website owner, but the information collected is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (e.g., improving the services it provides or offering advertising services to 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 restricted areas, remembering the items in a shopping cart, carrying out the purchasing process, managing payment, controlling fraud related to service security, applying for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for software licence billing purposes, using security elements while browsing, storing content for video or audio broadcasting, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of text or images), or sharing content via social networks.

Analytics cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of how users interact with the Website. Your browsing on our Website is analysed in order to improve the products or services we offer.

Preference or customisation cookies:
These allow information to be remembered so that the User can access the service with certain characteristics that differentiate their experience from that of other users. Examples include language preferences, the number of results displayed when performing a search, the Website’s appearance or content based on the type of browser used, or the region from which the User accesses the service.

ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED

Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a webpage.

They are typically used to store information that is only needed for the service requested by the User on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.

Persistent cookies:
These store data on the User’s device that can be accessed and processed for a defined period set by the cookie owner, ranging from a few minutes to several years.

In this regard, it should be assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimise their duration to the necessary minimum, considering their purpose. The Article 29 Working Party’s Opinion 4/2012 stated that, for a cookie to be exempt from the informed consent requirement, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
