What Are Cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means a biscuit, but in the context of 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 various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customizations, and more…
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” collectively.
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

Who Uses the Information Stored in Cookies?
The information stored in cookies on our website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified later as ‘third-party cookies,’ which are used and managed by external entities that provide services to enhance the user experience. For example, statistics about the number of visits, preferred content, etc., are usually managed by GOOGLE ANALYTICS.
Third-party cookies are also commonly used to ensure payment operations made through the website.
How Can I Avoid the Use of Cookies on This Website?

To restrict, block, or delete cookies from this website (and those used by third parties), you can do so at any time by changing your browser settings. Please note that this setting varies in each browser, although it is common to find the cookie settings in the ‘Preferences,’ ‘Tools,’ ‘Options,’ and then ‘Privacy and Security’ menus, or ‘Clear Browsing Data,’ etc…
For more detailed information on cookie settings in each browser, you can consult the browser’s ‘Help’ menu.
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
- Own cookies: these are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the requested service is provided to the user.
- Third-party cookies: these are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain that is not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies.
In cases where cookies are served from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (e.g., improving the services it provides or providing advertising services for 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, remembering the elements that make up an order, performing the purchase process of an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to service security, requesting registration or participation in an event, counting visits for billing software licenses used for the service (website, platform, or application), using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound broadcasting, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation of text or image), or sharing content through social networks.
- Analysis cookies: these allow quantifying the number of users and thus perform measurement and statistical analysis of the users’ use of the offered service. For this purpose, their navigation on our website is analyzed in order to improve the products or services we offer.
- Preference or customization cookies: these allow remembering information so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results to show 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 the user accesses the service, etc.
- Behavioral advertising cookies: these are cookies that, processed by us or by third parties, allow us to analyze your Internet browsing habits so that we can show you advertising related to your browsing profile.
ACCORDING TO THE TIME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
- Session cookies: these are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are typically used to store information that is only relevant for the provision of the requested service on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.
- Persistent cookies: these are cookies in which the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically considered whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their temporal duration to the extent necessary for their purpose of use. In this regard, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the obligation of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
