What are cookies?

In English, the term “cookie” means a small baked good, but in web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text, called a “cookie,” is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains varied information about your browsing habits, preferences, content customization, 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 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:

BY ENTITY MANAGING THEM

  • First-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the User’s device from a server or domain managed by the website’s publisher, which provides the service requested by the User.
  • Third-party cookies: These cookies are sent to the User’s device from a domain not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes the data collected through cookies.

If cookies are served from a domain managed by the publisher, but the collected information is handled by a third party, they are not considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, to improve its services or provide advertising for other entities).

BY PURPOSE

  • Technical cookies: Necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our Website. For example, they control traffic and data communication, identify the session, access restricted areas, register for events, count visits for software licensing, use security elements during navigation, store content for video or sound distribution, enable dynamic content, or share content on social networks.
  • Analysis cookies: They allow the quantification of users to perform statistical analysis on the use of the Website.
  • Preference or personalization cookies: These remember information so that the User can access the service with specific characteristics, such as language, search result preferences, website appearance, or content based on the User’s browser or region.

BY DURATION

  • Session cookies: These cookies are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a website. They are often used to store information only relevant to the requested service during a single session and disappear when the session ends.
  • Persistent cookies: These cookies store data on the device and can be accessed and processed for a defined period set by the cookie owner, ranging from minutes to several years. It is advisable to minimize the lifespan of persistent cookies to reduce privacy risks. The 4/2012 opinion of WP29 recommended that persistent cookies only be exempt from consent if their expiration is closely related to their purpose.
