Definition and general function of cookies

What are cookies?

This website uses cookies and/or similar technologies that store and retrieve information from users who browse our website. A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your browser and whose main purpose is to remember users who have previously visited the site, facilitate navigation, save preferences, analyse user interactions or measure how the services provided through the website are used in order to improve them. In some cases, they may also be used to display advertising based on your browsing habits and profile.

In general, cookies can serve various purposes, such as recognising users, obtaining information about their browsing habits or customising the way content is displayed.

What are cookies NOT used for on this website?

We do not store sensitive information that could personally identify you directly, such as your address, password, or credit/debit card details, in the cookies we use.

The specific uses we make of these technologies are described below.

Information about the types of cookies used and their purpose

In accordance with the provisions of the Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce, and following the guidelines set by the Spanish Data Protection Agency, we inform you below about the cookies used on our website.

Identification of who uses cookies

Depending on who uses them, cookies can be either first-party or third-party:

• First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the website editor and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
• Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the website editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.

Types of cookies

To ensure you can provide fully informed consent, the following describes each type of cookie and its purpose:

• Technical cookies: Allow users to browse a website, platform or application and use its different options or services, including managing and operating the website, and enabling its functions and services, such as session identification, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a shopping cart, and managing payments. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and therefore, they are considered necessary and do not require consent.
• Preference or customisation cookies: Allow a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, such as the user’s preferred language or region. If the user chooses these characteristics (for example, by selecting a language flag), it is considered an expressly requested service, provided these cookies are used solely for that purpose and not for other aims such as advertising personalisation.
• Analytics or measurement cookies: Enable an understanding of how visitors interact with web pages and allow statistical analysis of how users use the website’s services. The information collected is used to measure website activity and improve the products and services offered by the controller. These cookies do not require consent if used exclusively for audience measurement and to produce anonymous statistical data, avoiding tracking across websites.
• Marketing or behavioural advertising cookies: Store information about users’ browsing behaviour obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing a specific profile to be developed to display relevant and attractive adverts for the individual user, thus more valuable for third-party advertisers.

Types of cookies according to the duration of activity

• Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are used to store information only for the duration of the requested service (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.
• Persistent cookies: Those in which data remain stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie controller, which may range from a few minutes to several years.

Cookies used on this website

This website uses cookies that enable its operation and the provision of the services offered. We use first-party and third-party cookies of the following types: technical, customisation, analytics and advertising, for the purposes outlined below.

Consent and use of cookies

For certain analytics and advertising cookies, we require your consent, which can be provided by clicking the “Accept” button in the information banner displayed when you access our website.

We also use analytics cookies that do not require consent because they are strictly necessary for the following measurements:

• Audience measurement, page by page.
• List of pages from which a link was followed to request the current page.
• Determination of visitors’ device type, browser and screen size.
• Page load time statistics.
• Time spent on each page, bounce rate and scroll depth.
• User actions (clicks, selections), aggregated by page.
• Geographical area of origin of requests.

The lifespan of these cookies will be limited to the period necessary to make a meaningful comparison of audience data over time, with a maximum duration of thirteen months. The information collected through these cookies will be kept for a maximum of twenty-five months. These periods are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain limited to what is strictly necessary.
