In English, the term "cookie" means a biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a "cookie" is something completely different. When you access our website, a small amount of text called a "cookie" is stored in your device's browser. This text could cointain information about your navigation, habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.
There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We'll refer to all these technologies as "cookies" collectively.
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.
Cookies are an essential part of how the website functions. The main purpose of our cookies is to enhance your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during navigation and on future visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, etc.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as obtaining information that allows us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.
The web server doesn't identify you as an individual but associates information with your web browser. In fact, if you regularly browse a website using Internet Explorer and then try the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you'll notice that the website doesn't recognize you as the same person. This is because it associates information with the browser, not the individual.
Cookies typically do not store sensitive information about you, such as credit card details, banking information, photos, your ID, or personal information, etc. The data they store is of a technical nature, related to personal preferences, content customization, etc.
The information stored in cookies on our website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified later as "third-party cookies," which are used and managed by external entities that provide services that enhance the user experience. For example, statistics on the number of visits, preferred content, etc., are usually managed by Google Analytics.
Third-party cookies are also commonly used to ensure payment operations carried out through the website.
As we limit the use of cookies to only those that are strictly necessary and a few more related to your browsing preferences, you have the option to either ACCEPT or REJECT the use of cookies.
This document provides detailed information on each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, temporality, etc.
If you have accepted them, we will not ask again unless you delete the cookies on your device as indicated in the following section. If you want to revoke consent, you will need to delete the cookies and reconfigure them.
To restrict, block, or delete cookies from this website (and those used by third parties), you can do so at any time by modifying your browser settings. Please note that this setting is different in each browser.

These are sent to the User's terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the requested service is provided to the User.
These are sent to the User's terminal equipment from a device or domain not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies. If cookies are served from a device or domain managed by the publisher, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).
These are necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of our website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, 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, making a registration or participation request in an event, counting visits for the billing of licenses for the software with which the website service operates, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of text or image), or sharing content through social networks.
Allow quantifying the number of users and thus perform the measurement and statistical analysis of the users' use of the website. For this purpose, their navigation on our website is analyzed to improve the offer of products or services we provide.
These allow remembering information so that the User accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as 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 they access the service, etc.
These, processed by us or third parties, allow us to analyze your internet browsing habits so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page.
They are usually used to store information that is only interesting to keep 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.
These are those in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it must be specifically 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 minimize their temporal duration to the minimum necessary based on the purpose of their use. In this regard, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
