What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website we use those listed below:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT
- Own cookies: 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.
- Cookies de terceros: son aquellas que se envían al equipo terminal del usuario desde un equipo o dominio que no es gestionado por el editor, sino por otra entidad que trata los datos obtenidos través de las cookies. En el caso de que las cookies sean servidas desde un equipo o dominio gestionado por el propio editor, pero la información que se recoja mediante estas sea gestionada por un tercero, no pueden ser consideradas como cookies propias si el tercero las utiliza para sus propias finalidades (por ejemplo, la mejora de los servicios que presta o la prestación de servicios de carácter publicitario a favor de otras entidades).
BY PURPOSE
- Technical Cookies: are those necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our website, such as, for example, control traffic and data communication, identify the session, access restricted access parts, remember the elements that make up an order, make the purchase process of an order, manage the payment, control fraud linked to the security of the service, make the application for registration or participation in an event, count visits for the purpose of billing licenses for the software that runs the service (website, platform or application), use security features while browsing, store content for broadcasting videos or sound, enable dynamic content (for example, animation of loading text or images) or share content through social networks.
- Analysis cookies: they allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the service offered. To do this, your browsing on our website is analyzed in order to improve the supply of products or services we offer.
- Preference or personalization cookiesThese are those that allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate his experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to be displayed 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 the user accesses the service, etc.
- Publicitarias comportamentales: son aquellas que, tratadas por nosotros o por terceros, nos permiten analizar sus hábitos de navegación en Internet para que podamos mostrarle publicidad relacionada con su perfil de navegación.
ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
- Session Cookies: are those designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page.
They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to keep for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (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 person responsible for the cookie, 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 the risks to privacy could be reduced by using session cookies.
In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to reduce their temporary duration to the minimum necessary, taking into account the purpose of their use.
To this effect, WG29 Opinion 4/2012 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose.
As a result, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
