Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy forms an integral part of the Conditions of Use and the Privacy Policy. By accessing and browsing the Website or using its services you explicitly agree to abide by the Conditions of Use. Please read them carefully.
Due to entry into force of the amendment to the "Information Society Services Act" (LSSICE) promulgated by Royal Decree 13/2012, the Data Controller must obtain the Data Subjects’ (Users’) express consent to install non-essential cookies on the latter’s terminal device before the session can begin.
- A cookie is a small text file that the websites you visit install on your browser. They enable said websites to remember information about your visit – such as your preferred language and other options – in order to facilitate your next visit and make the site more useful to you. Cookies play a very important role and contribute to a better browsing experience for the user.
- There are several different kinds of cookie depending on who manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and who processes the data thus obtained. Accordingly, we may send the following types of cookie:
- First-party cookies: sent to the user's terminal device from a computer or domain managed by the Data Controller and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: sent to the user's terminal device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the Data Controller but by another entity that processes the data obtained from said cookies.
Cookies can also be classified into the following types pursuant to their purpose:
- Technical cookies: these enable the user to browse through a website, platform or application and use the options or services available thereon including those that the data controller uses to enable management and operation of the website and its functions and services including, for example, monitoring traffic and data transfer, identifying the session, accessing restricted-access pages, remembering the items that comprise an order, performing the order-purchase process, managing payment, detecting and combatting service-related fraud, requests for registration or participation in an event, counting visits in order to invoice the software licenses with which the service operates (website, platform or application), using security functions during browsing, storing content for video or audio broadcasts, enabling dynamic content (e.g., animated text or images) or sharing content via social networks.
- Preferences or customisation cookies: they remember information that can enable the user to access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, including features such as language, the number of search results to display per search window, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser with which the user accesses the service or the region from which the user accesses the service, etc.
