Cookies policy

What are cookies?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user's browsing habits or their computer and, depending on the information they contain and the way your computer is used, can be used to recognise the anonymous user.

Cookies are associated only with an anonymous user and their computer, and do not provide references that allow the user's personal data to be deduced.

Registered Users who register or log in may benefit from more personalised services tailored to their profile, thanks to the combination of the data stored in cookies with the personal data collected at the time of registration. Such Users expressly authorise the use of this information for the stated purpose, without prejudice to their right to refuse or disable the use of cookies.

Types, purpose and functioning of cookies in general.

1. Types of cookies according to the length of time they remain active.

Depending on the length of time they remain active on the terminal equipment, we can distinguish between:

  • Session cookies: These are cookies designed to collect and store data while a user accesses a website. They are usually used to store information relevant only to the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of products purchased).
  • Persistent cookies: These are a type of cookie in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person responsible for the cookie, ranging from a few minutes to several years.

2. Types of cookies according to the entity that manages them.

Depending on the entity that manages the equipment or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, we can distinguish between:

  • Own cookies: These are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.
  • Third-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that the publisher does not manage, but from another entity that processes the data obtained through these cookies.

3. Types of cookies according to their purpose.

Depending on the purpose for which the data obtained through cookies is processed

We can distinguish between:

  • Technical cookies: These allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and use the different options or services that exist therein, such as, for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items included in an order, carrying out the purchase process for an order, requesting registration or participation in an event, using security elements during browsing, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, or sharing content through social networks.
  • Personalisation cookies: These allow the user to access the service with some general characteristics predefined according to a series of criteria in the user's terminal, such as the language, the type of browser through which the service is accessed, the regional configuration from which the service is accessed, etc.
  • Analytical cookies: These allow the person responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform and to create navigation profiles of the users of these sites, applications and platforms, in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data made by the users of the service.
  • Advertising cookies: These cookies enable the most effective management of the advertising spaces that, where applicable, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which it provides the requested service, based on criteria such as the content edited or the frequency with which the advertisements appear.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies enable the most effective management of the advertising spaces that, where applicable, the publisher has included on a website, application or platform from which it provides the requested service. These cookies store information on user behaviour, obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, enabling a specific profile to be developed to display advertising based on it.
