What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party cookies:
These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the requested service is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are sent to the User’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (e.g., improving the services it provides or providing advertising services on behalf of other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for the navigation and proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access areas, submitting a registration or participation request in an event, counting visits for billing the software licenses used by the Website’s service, using security elements during navigation, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of text or image).
Analytics cookies:
Allow the quantification of the number of users and perform statistical measurement and analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
Preference or customization cookies:
These allow remembering information so that the User can access the service with certain features that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to be displayed when the User performs a search, the appearance or content of the service based on the type of browser through which the User accesses the service or the region from which the User accesses the service, etc.
ACCORDING TO THEIR DURATION
Session cookies:
Designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page. They are usually used to store information that is only required to provide the requested service to the User on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These are cookies in which data is stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the cookie’s owner, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary since privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their duration to the minimum necessary based on their intended use. For this purpose, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 stated that for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement of informed consent, its expiration date must be related to its purpose. As a result, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
