Cookie Policy

a) First-party cookies:

They are those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

b) Third-party cookies:

Cookies are those that are sent to the user's terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

In the event that cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself, but the information collected through these is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, to improve the services it provides or to provide advertising services for other entities).

a) Technical cookies:

Are those that allow the user to navigate through a website, platform or application and the use of the different options or services that exist in it, including those that the publisher uses to enable the management and operation of the website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, control the processing and communication of data, identify the session, access parts of restricted access, remember the elements that make up an order, make the purchase process of an order, manage the payment, control fraud linked to the security of the service, make the request for registration or participation in an event, count visits for the purpose of billing licenses of the software with which the service works (website, platform or application), use security features during navigation, store content for broadcasting videos or sound, enable dynamic content (for example, animation of loading a text or image) or share content through social networks.

Also belonging to this category, due to their technical nature, are those cookies that allow the management, in the most efficient way possible, of the advertising spaces that, as another element of design or "layout" of the service offered to the user, the editor has included in a web page, application or platform based on criteria such as the edited content, without collecting information from users for other purposes, such as personalizing that advertising content or other content.

Technical cookies will be exempt from compliance with the obligations set forth in Article 22.2 of the LSSI when they allow the service requested by the user to be provided, as in the case of the cookies listed in the preceding paragraphs. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (for example, for behavioral advertising purposes), they will be subject to these obligations.

b) Preference or personalization cookies:

They are those that allow remembering information for the user to access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to display when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.

If it is the user himself who chooses these characteristics (for example, if he selects the language of a website by clicking on the icon of the flag of the corresponding country), the cookies will be exempt from the obligations of article 22.2 of the LSSI because it is considered a service expressly requested by the user, provided that the cookies obey exclusively to the selected purpose.

c) Analysis or measurement cookies:

They are those that allow the responsible for them to monitor and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked, including the quantification of the impacts of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of the websites, application or platform, in order to make improvements based on the analysis of the data on the use made by users of the service.

Regarding the processing of data collected through analytics cookies, WG29 stated that, although they are not exempt from the duty to obtain informed consent for their use, they are unlikely to represent a risk to users' privacy provided that they are first-party cookies, that they process aggregated data for strictly statistical purposes, that information is provided on their uses and that the possibility for users to express their refusal on their use is included.

d) Behavioral advertising cookies:

They are those that store information on user behavior obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows the development of a specific perl to display advertising based on the same.

a) Session Cookies:

They are those designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only of interest to keep for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (for example, a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.

b) Persistent Cookies:

These are those in which the data remain stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period specified by the person responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
