What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means cookie, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something completely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text called a “cookie” is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.
There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.
What are cookies used for on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how the Website works. The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience. For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during browsing and on future visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up the searches you perform, etc.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as obtaining information that allows us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.

Who uses the information stored in cookies?
The information stored in the cookies of our Website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified later as “third-party cookies,” which are used and managed by external entities that provide us services that improve the user experience. For example, the statistics that are collected about the number of visits, the content that is most liked, etc., are usually managed by Google Analytics.
How can you avoid the use of cookies on this Website?
If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT their use or you can CONFIGURE which ones you want to avoid and which ones you allow to be used (in this document we provide you with extended information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, temporality, etc.).
If you have accepted them, we will not ask you again unless you delete the cookies on your device as indicated in the following section. If you want to revoke consent, you will need to delete the cookies and reconfigure them.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
Own cookies:
These 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.
Third-party cookies:
These 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 the cookies.
In the case 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 its own purposes (for example, the improvement of the services it provides or the provision of advertising services on behalf of other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR 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 parts of restricted access, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the purpose of invoicing licenses of the software with which the service of the Website works, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the broadcasting of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of a text or image).
Analysis cookies:
These allow the quantification of the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
Preference or customization cookies:
These allow remembering information so that the User accesses the service with certain features that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as the language, the number of results to show 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.
Behavioral advertising cookies:
These, treated by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your Internet browsing habits so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
Affiliation cookies:
These allow tracking visits from other websites, with which the Owner has an affiliation contract.
The Owner participates in the Amazon EU Affiliates Program. Amazon and other advertisers may install cookies on your equipment that serve to obtain information, offer you ads, display content based on your interests, or to track your navigation, storing affiliate information if you make a purchase within the following 24 hours.
ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD OF TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED
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 interests 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 those in which the data is still 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, the specific use of persistent cookies should be assessed, as privacy risks could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their temporary duration according to the purpose of their use. In this regard, Opinion 4/2012 of the 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 as exempt than persistent cookies.
