What are cookies?

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the ones indicated below:
BY THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
- First-party cookies:
These are sent to the User’s terminal device from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided. - Third-party cookies:
These are sent to the User’s terminal device from a computer or domain not managed by the editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies. In cases where cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (e.g., improving the services it provides or providing advertising services in favor of other entities).
BY 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 access parts, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for software license billing purposes with which the Website service operates, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound broadcasting, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of text or image). - Analysis cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform the measurement and statistical analysis of the usage made by users of the Website. - Preference or customization cookies:
These allow us to remember information so that the User can access 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 based on the type of browser through which the User accesses the service or the region from which the service is accessed, etc. - Behavioral advertising cookies:
These, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your browsing habits on the Internet so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
BY DURATION OF ACTIVATION
- Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page. 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 (e.g., a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session. - Persistent cookies:
These are those in which the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the cookie controller, 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 the risks to privacy could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their temporary duration considering the purpose of their use. For this purpose, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the informed consent requirement, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Due to this, it is much more likely that session cookies are considered as exempted than persistent ones.
