What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means a small sweet, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different.
When you access our website, a small amount of text known as 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 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
- First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from equipment or a domain managed by the website owner and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a server or domain that is not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are served from a domain managed by the website owner but the information collected is managed by a third party for their own purposes (e.g., improving their own services or providing advertising services to others), they are not considered first-party cookies.
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
- Technical cookies: These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our website, such as controlling data traffic and communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a shopping cart, processing purchases, managing payments, preventing fraud linked to service security, handling sign-ups or participation in events, counting visits for software license billing purposes, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio playback, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animations), or sharing content via social networks.
- Analytics cookies: These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out statistical analysis of how users use the services. This helps us improve the range of products or services we offer.
- Preference or customization cookies: These allow information to be remembered so the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, number of search results, appearance or content depending on the browser or region of access, etc.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: These, whether processed by us or third parties, allow us to analyze your browsing habits in order to show you advertising based on your browsing profile.
ACCORDING TO THE DURATION THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
- Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website.
- Persistent cookies: The data remains stored in the user’s device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the cookie owner.
