WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHAT DO WE USE THEM FOR?
A cookie is a small information file that is stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet each time you visit our website.
In principle, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, trojans, worms, etc. that could damage your device. However, it does have a certain impact on your right to the protection of your personal data, as it collects certain information relating to you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
Therefore, under the applicable regulations (the LSSI and the current personal data protection regulations), enabling certain types of cookies will require your prior authorisation.
Before that, we will provide you with additional information to help you make an informed decision:
Cookies may be of various types depending on their purpose:
Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function; they do not require your authorisation and are the only cookies enabled by default.
All other cookies are used to improve our website, personalise it based on your preferences, or show you advertising tailored to your searches, tastes and personal interests. You can accept all of these cookies by clicking ACCEPT ALL, or configure or reject them by clicking COOKIE SETTINGS.
Some cookies are ours (we will refer to them as first-party cookies) and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will refer to them as third-party cookies; an example could be cookies from external providers such as Google). In this regard, it is important for you to know that some of these external providers may be located outside Spain.
Worldwide, not all countries have the same level of data protection; some countries are safer than others (for example, the European Union is a safe environment for your data). Our policy is to use reliable providers who, whether or not they are located in the European Union, have adopted appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information. However, in the section entitled “WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?” you can consult the privacy and data protection policies of each of these external providers, so that you can make an informed decision on whether or not to enable the third-party cookies used by our website.
Finally, depending on how long they remain active, cookies can be of two types:
Session cookies: they expire automatically when you end the session on your computer, smartphone or tablet. They are usually used to keep the information necessary while a service is provided to you on a single occasion.
Persistent cookies: they remain stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet for a certain period of time, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES CAN WE USE ON OUR WEBSITE?
Technical Cookies
Technical cookies are strictly necessary for our website to work and for you to browse it. These cookies allow us, for example, to identify you, give you access to certain restricted areas of the website if necessary, or remember different options or services you have already selected, such as your privacy preferences. For this reason, they are enabled by default and your authorisation is not required.
Through your browser settings, you can block or be alerted about the presence of this type of cookie; however, such blocking will affect the proper functioning of the different features of our website.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to study users’ navigation of our website in general (for example, which sections of the website are visited most, which services are used most and whether they work correctly, etc.).
Based on statistical information about browsing on our website, we can improve both the functioning of the website itself and the different services it offers. Therefore, these cookies are not for advertising purposes; they are only used to make our website work better and adapt to our users in general. By enabling them, you will contribute to this continuous improvement.
You can enable or disable these cookies by ticking the corresponding box; they are disabled by default.
Functionality and Personalisation Cookies
Functionality cookies allow us to remember your preferences in order to personalise certain general features and options of our website each time you access it (for example, the language in which information is displayed, sections marked as favourites, your browser type, etc.).
Therefore, these cookies are not for advertising purposes. By enabling them, you will improve the functionality of the website (for example, adapting it to your browser type) and the personalisation of the website based on your preferences (for example, displaying information in the language you chose on previous occasions), which will contribute to the ease, usability and convenience of our website while you browse.
You can enable or disable these cookies by ticking the corresponding box; they are disabled by default.
Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies allow us to manage the advertising spaces included on our website based on criteria such as the content displayed or the frequency with which ads are shown.
For example, if the same ad has been shown to you several times on our website and you have not shown personal interest by clicking on it, it will not appear again. In short, by enabling these cookies, the advertising shown on our website will be more useful and diverse, and less repetitive.
You can enable or disable these cookies by ticking the corresponding box; they are disabled by default.
Behavioural Advertising Cookies
Behavioural advertising cookies allow us to obtain information based on observing your browsing habits and behaviour on the web, in order to show you advertising content that better matches your tastes and personal interests.
To make it very easy to understand, here is a fictional example: if your latest web searches were related to thriller literature, we would show you advertising about thriller books.
Therefore, by enabling these cookies, the advertising we show you on our website will not be generic; it will be oriented to your searches, tastes and interests, and will therefore be tailored exclusively to you.
You can enable or disable these cookies by ticking the corresponding box; they are disabled by default.
