Every website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:

BY ENTITY MANAGING THEM

First-party cookies: These are sent to the user's terminal device from a device or domain managed by the editor and from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user's terminal device from a device or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

If cookies are served from a device or domain managed by the editor 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 their own purposes (e.g., improving the services provided or providing advertising services for other entities).

BY PURPOSE

Technical cookies: These are necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, making requests for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for the billing of licenses of the software with which the website service operates, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or sound broadcasting, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading animation for text or images), or sharing content through social networks.

Analysis cookies: These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus measure and analyze the statistical usage of the website by users.

Preference or personalization cookies: These allow remembering information so that the user accesses 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 based on the type of browser through which the user accesses the service, or the region from which the service is accessed, etc.

Behavioral advertising cookies: These, 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.

BY DURATION

Session cookies: These are 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 retain for the provision of the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g., a list of purchased products) and disappear at the end of the session.

Persistent cookies: These are those where the data remains stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the cookie controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, the necessity of using persistent cookies should be specifically evaluated, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their duration as necessary according to their purpose. For this reason, Opinion 4/2012 of the WP29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Therefore, session cookies are more likely to be considered exempt than persistent cookies.
