This website uses technology known as “cookies” and other similar technologies in order to facilitate user navigation and provide the service. In addition, the use of cookies allows us to improve our website by obtaining statistics on its use and for other purposes. Browsing this website necessarily implies the use of cookies and similar technologies whenever required for its operation. Likewise, for certain purposes, cookies and local storage will be subject to your prior consent. You may accept or reject cookies through the established configuration system, and it is also possible to configure your browser to prevent their use. This policy forms part of our privacy policy and includes the following:

What are cookies?

“Cookies” are small temporary files that are created on the user’s device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) when visiting a website, and which allow the website to store or retrieve information while you browse, for example, to save your usage preferences or to recognize you on subsequent visits, as well as to obtain information about your browsing habits. When a website creates a cookie on the user’s device, the address/domain of the website that created the cookie is stored, the duration of the cookie—which may range from a few minutes to several years—as well as the content of the cookie. The user may disable cookies at any time through the configuration system of this website, as well as configure their browser to prevent (block) the use of cookies by certain websites, and delete cookies previously stored.

What are cookies used for?

The most common uses or purposes are:

• Essential technical cookies. These are used to manage the flow of navigation within the website or to keep the user logged in. Disabling them may cause some sections of the website to not function properly.
• Personalization cookies. Necessary to remember certain user preferences.
• Analytical cookies. These help us and third parties collect information about the origin of users and their navigation within the website, for the purpose of performing statistical analysis in order to improve the structure and content.
• Advertising cookies. Used to manage the ads displayed on the website, determine the content or frequency of advertisements.
• Behavioral advertising cookies. These help collect the user’s browsing habits in order to create a profile of their interests and display ads tailored to them.
• Social sharing cookies. These are necessary to identify the user on their social networks and thus allow them to share content.

What do we mean by technologies similar to cookies?

Technologies similar to cookies are understood to be any type of data storage and retrieval mechanism used on the user’s device to obtain information. The most common include:

• Browser local storage. Some websites use local storage known as “sessionStorage” and “localStorage”, as well as the browser’s indexed database, to store information;
• Local storage of browser add-ons, such as Flash local storage (“Flash Local Shared Objects”) or Silverlight local storage (“Isolated Objects”).
• Web beacons are a tracking technique that consists of inserting an image hosted on an Internet server into a web page (or email) so that when the browser or email program connects to that server to download and display the image, the connection is recorded. This makes it possible to know that the user has viewed the web page or email. Sometimes this image is very small or transparent so that the user does not notice its existence.
• Fingerprinting techniques that combine information obtained from the browser or browsing device to distinguish a user on successive visits to different websites.

What types of cookies do we use?

The cookies on this website can be classified, depending on who creates them, into two categories:

• First-party cookies: created and managed from our websites and domains, with the information obtained being managed directly or indirectly by us for our own purposes.
• Third-party cookies: cookies that are created and managed from other websites which, although not fully under our control, provide functions and features that we have chosen to include on our website, such as interactive maps, videos and multimedia elements, social media sharing buttons, advertisements, etc. These cookies are under the control of the third party that provides the corresponding function.

The vast majority of third-party functions involve access to or collection of information (and the use of cookies) by the third party providing the function, based on their own criteria and purposes, including the collection of browsing habits to display personalized advertising. The functions and features of third parties used on this website are indicated in the following section.

HOW LONG DO COOKIES OR SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES REMAIN ACTIVE?

Depending on their duration or period of activity, we can distinguish between:

• Temporary session cookies: remain stored on the browsing device until the user leaves the website; the browser deletes them at the end of the browsing session.
• Persistent cookies: remain on the browsing device and the website reads them each time the user makes a new visit. These cookies are automatically deleted after a certain period of time, which may be short or very long.

This policy includes information on the duration of cookies; for more information, please consult our privacy policy, as well as the information provided in the privacy policies of third-party web function providers.
