Cookie Policy

In compliance with article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services, we inform users of our website about our Cookie Policy.

What is a Cookie?

Cookies are files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to the user’s device when visiting our website.

Their main purpose is to recognise the user (through identifiers that do not allow identification of any individual) each time they access the website, and also allow us to improve the quality and usability of our websites.

Cookies are essential for the functioning of the Internet; they cannot damage the user’s equipment/device and, if enabled in your browser settings, help us identify and resolve potential operational errors on our website.

Types of Cookies

There are different types of cookies. They all work in the same way, but have minor differences:

Session Cookies

Session cookies last only for the duration of the visit and are deleted when the user closes the browser. Their main purpose is to identify the type of device, support website security or its basic functionality. They do not contain personal information that could identify an individual.

Persistent or Permanent Cookies

These are stored on the device’s hard drive and the website reads them each time the user makes a new visit; they have a set expiry or expiration date, after which the cookie stops working. They allow the user’s actions and preferences to be identified; they analyse visits and help understand how users reach the website and improve the services offered.

Functionality Cookies

These allow decisions made by the user to be remembered, such as their login or identifier. The information in these cookies is anonymous (i.e. it does not contain name, address, or other personal data).

Third-party Cookies

Third-party cookies are cookies installed by a website other than the one the user is visiting; for example, those used by social networks (such as Facebook) or external content plugins (such as Google Maps).

Analytical Cookies

These are cookies aimed at the periodic maintenance and ensuring the best performance and service for the user; they collect data on their activity.
