What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each web page uses its own cookies. On our website we use the following:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES IT
Own cookies:
They are those that are sent to the User's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.
Third-party cookies:
They are those that are sent to the User's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
In the event that cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies if the third party uses them for their own purposes. (for example, the improvement of the services it provides or the provision of advertising services in favor of other entities).
DEPENDING ON ITS PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
They are those necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of our Website, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing parts of restricted access, making the application for registration or participation in an event, Count visits for the purpose of billing software licenses with which the Website service works, use security elements during browsing, store content for the broadcast of videos or sound, enable dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image).
Analysis cookies:
It allows to quantify the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
Cookies for preferences or personalization:
They are those that allow information to be remembered for the User to access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their 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.
DEPENDING ON THE PERIOD OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED
Session cookies:
They are those designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page.
They are 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 they disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
They are those in which the stored data remains in 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 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. For these purposes, Opinion 4/2012 of GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Because of this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered excepted than persistent ones.
