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: These are 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.

According to purpose

Technical cookies: They are those necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our Web Site, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, making the application for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of billing software licenses with which the Web Site service works, using security features during navigation, storing content for broadcasting videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, animation of loading text or image).

Analytics 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 Web Site.

Preference or personalization cookies: They are those that allow remembering information for the User to 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 he accesses the service, etc.

According to the period of time they remain active

Session cookies: They 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: These are cookies in which the data remain stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, 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.
