COOKIE INFORMATION

Due to the entry into force of the relevant amendment to the “Information Society Services Law” (LSSICE), established by Royal Decree 13/2012, it is mandatory to obtain the express consent of users on all websites that use non-essential cookies before they browse them.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies and other similar technologies such as local shared objects, flash cookies or pixels are tools used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors, as well as to ensure the proper functioning of the website.

By using these devices, the web server is able to remember certain data concerning the user, such as their preferences for displaying pages on that server, username and password, products they are most interested in, etc.

COOKIES AFFECTED BY THE REGULATIONS AND EXEMPT COOKIES

According to the EU directive, the cookies that require the user’s informed consent are analytics cookies, advertising cookies and affiliate cookies, while technical cookies and those necessary for the operation of the website or for the provision of services expressly requested by the user are exempt.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES EXIST?

There are five main groups of cookies:

• Analytics cookies: collect information about how the website is used.
• Social cookies: these are necessary for external social networks.
• Affiliate cookies: allow tracking of visits from other websites with which the website has an affiliate agreement.
• Advertising and behavioural cookies: collect information about the user’s personal preferences and choices (retargeting).
• Technical and functional cookies: these are strictly necessary for the use of the website and for the provision of the contracted service.

What types of cookies do we use?

This website uses the following types of cookies:

By owner:

First-party cookies: these are cookies sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies: these are cookies sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

By purpose:

Technical cookies: these allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services available on it, including those used by the publisher to manage and operate the website and enable its functions and services.

Analytics cookies: these allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked, including the measurement of advertising impacts. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of how users use the service.

By the length of time they remain active:

Session cookies: these are designed to collect 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 on a single occasion, for example, a list of purchased products, and disappear when the session ends.

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