Cookie policy

A cookie is a text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a web server, and only that server will be able to retrieve or read the cookie’s contents. They enable the website to remember your browsing preferences and to navigate efficiently, thereby making interaction between the user and the website quicker and easier.

General information

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files generated by the web pages you visit, which contain session data that may be useful later on the website. In this way, this website remembers information relating to your visit, which can make your next visit easier and the website more useful.

How do cookies work?

Cookies can only store text, which is usually anonymous and encrypted. No personal information is stored in a cookie, and they cannot be linked to an identified or identifiable individual.

The data enables this website to retain your information from one page to the next and to analyse how you interact with the website. Cookies are secure because they can only store information that has been placed there by the browser, i.e. information that the user has entered into the browser or that is included in the page request. They cannot execute code and cannot be used to access your computer. If a web page encrypts the information contained in the cookie, only that web page can read that information.

What types of cookies do we use?

1. Types of cookies according to the entity that manages them:

Depending on the entity that manages the device or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, we can distinguish between:

1. Types of cookies based on their duration:

Depending on how long they remain active on the user’s device, we can distinguish between:

They are generally used to store information that needs to be retained solely for the purpose of providing the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products).

– Persistent cookies: these are cookies in which data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the data controller, which may range from a few minutes to several years.

1. Types of cookies according to their purpose:

Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed, we can distinguish between:

– Technical cookies: these are cookies that enable the user to browse a website, platform or application and to use the various options or services available there, such as, for example, managing traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted-access areas, remembering the items in a shopping basket, completing the purchase process for an order, registering for or participating in an event, using security features whilst browsing, storing content for the streaming of videos or audio, or sharing content via social media.

– Personalisation cookies: these are cookies that enable the user to access the service with certain predefined general characteristics based on a series of criteria relating to the user’s device, such as the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional settings from which the user accesses the service, etc.

– Analytics cookies: these enable the party responsible for these cookies to track and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected by this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms and to create browsing profiles for users of these sites, applications and platforms, with a view to making improvements based on the analysis of users’ usage data.

If you do not accept the use of cookies – which you can do via your browser’s preferences or settings menus – this website will continue to function correctly without them.

You can allow, block or delete cookies stored on your computer by configuring the settings of the browser installed on your computer:

You can also use your browser to view the cookies stored on your computer and delete them if you wish. Cookies are text files that you can open and read. The data they contain is almost always encrypted using a digital key corresponding to an internet session, so it often makes no sense outside the website that created it.
