What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” refers to a sweet treat, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text is stored in your browser, known as a “cookie.” This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content personalization, etc.
There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

The information collected through cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests, speed up your searches, and more.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as collecting information to display advertising based on an analysis of your browsing habits.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Every website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
BY ENTITY MANAGING THEM
First-party cookies:
These are sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain managed by the website’s owner and used to provide the service requested by the user.
Third-party cookies:
These are sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain not managed by the website’s owner but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are sent from a device or domain managed by the website’s owner but the information collected is handled by a third party, they are not considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or delivering advertising services for other entities).
BY PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling data traffic and communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, registering for events, counting visits for software licensing purposes, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio dissemination, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading text or images).
Analytics cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and perform statistical analysis on how users interact with the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These cookies store information to allow the user to access the service with specific features, such as language, search results preferences, the look or content of the service based on the user’s browser type or region, etc.
BY DURATION
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are typically used to store information relevant only during the session (e.g., a shopping cart) and disappear after the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These cookies store data in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a set period defined by the cookie owner, ranging from minutes to several years. It is advisable to minimize the duration of persistent cookies, as they pose greater privacy risks compared to session cookies. According to Opinion 4/2012 of WP29, for a cookie to be exempt from informed consent requirements, its expiration should be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are more likely to be exempted than persistent cookies.
