What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” literally means a biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something completely different.
When you access our website, a small amount of text called a “cookie” is stored in your browser. This text contains various information about your browsing habits, preferences, content customizations, and more.
There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.
What are cookies used for on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how our website works. The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience—for example, by remembering your preferences (language, country, etc.) during navigation and for future visits. The information collected through cookies also allows us to improve the website, adapt it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, and more.
In certain cases, and only with your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as obtaining information that allows us to display advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.
What are cookies NOT used for on this website?
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal information such as your name, address, password, and so on.
Who uses the information stored in cookies?
The information stored in the cookies on our website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified below as “third-party cookies,” which are used and managed by external entities that provide services to enhance the user experience. For example, statistics on the number of visits or the most popular content are generally handled by GOOGLE ANALYTICS.
Third-party cookies are also commonly used to ensure the security of payment operations carried out through the website.
How can I avoid the use of cookies on this website?
If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT their use, or you can CONFIGURE which cookies you want to block and which you allow (in this document we provide extended information about each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc.).
If you have accepted cookies, we will not ask you again unless you delete them from your device, as indicated in the following section.
If you wish to revoke your consent, you must delete the cookies and reconfigure them.
How do I disable and delete cookies?
To restrict, block, or delete the cookies from this website (and those used by third parties), you can do so at any time by modifying your browser settings. Please note that the configuration process varies in each browser, though it is usually found under the menu “Preferences,” “Tools,” “Options,” and then “Privacy and Security” or “Clear browsing data,” etc.
For more detailed information on cookie configuration in each browser, please consult the browser’s “Help” menu.
What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our site, we use the following:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
- First-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a server or domain managed by the website’s editor and used to provide the service requested by the user.
- Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s device from a server or domain not managed by the editor but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
If cookies are served from a server or domain managed by the editor but the collected information is managed by a third party for its own purposes (e.g., service improvement or advertising for other entities), they are not considered first-party cookies.
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
- Technical cookies: Necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our website—for example, controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering items in a shopping cart, processing purchases, managing payments, preventing fraud, registering for an event, counting visits for software licensing, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio distribution, enabling dynamic content (e.g., text or image animation), or sharing content on social networks.
- Analytics cookies: Allow us to quantify the number of users and perform statistical analysis of how users interact with the website in order to improve our products and services.
- Preference or customization cookies: Allow information to be remembered so that users can access the service with specific features that may differentiate their experience from others—such as language, number of search results displayed, layout, browser type, or region of access.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: Processed by us or by third parties, these allow us to analyze your browsing habits on the Internet to display advertising related to your browsing profile.
ACCORDING TO THE DURATION THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
- Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are typically used to store information needed for the service requested by the user during a single session (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
- Persistent cookies: These keep data stored on the device for a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which may range from a few minutes to several years. Persistent cookies should only be used when necessary, as session cookies are generally safer for privacy. When persistent cookies are used, their duration should be limited to the minimum necessary for their purpose. According to the Article 29 Working Party Opinion 4/2012, for a cookie to be exempt from informed consent, its expiration must relate to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are more likely to be exempt than persistent ones.
