COOKIE INFORMATION

Due to the entry into force of the amendment to the Law on Information Society Services (LSSICE) made by Royal Decree 13/2012, it is the obligation of web owners to inform users about the use of cookies, types, duration and purpose of each of them and to obtain the express consent of the user who downloads cookies on his browser when entering these websites.

This is not simple but by law we must explain it as best we can.

As a user, you can reject the processing of data or information by blocking these cookies using the appropriate settings on your browser. However, you should be aware that, if you do so, it is possible that the website may not function properly or that some of its functionalities may not be available.

According to article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce, if you continue browsing, you will be giving your consent for the use of these cookies.

As a user, you expressly accept, through the use of this website, the treatment of the information collected in the manner and for the purposes detailed below. Likewise, it admits to know the possibility of rejecting the treatment of such data or information rejecting the use of Cookies by means of the selection of the appropriate configuration to such end in its navigator, although this option can not allow the full use of all the functionalities of this Web.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your device when you access certain web pages. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their computer and, depending on the information they contain and the way in which the computer uses it, can be used to recognize the user, thus allowing you to remember data concerning the user, such as preferences for viewing the pages of that server, name and password, products that most interest you, etc..

Considering the way the Internet and websites work, it is not always possible to have information about cookies placed by third parties through our website. This applies especially to cases in which our website contains what are called integrated elements: texts, documents, images or short films that are stored elsewhere, but are shown on or through this website and those derived from the analysis plugin used by this website.

Therefore, if you encounter such cookies on this website and they are not listed below, please let us know so that we can review those cookies and add them to this list if necessary. You may also contact the third party directly to ask them for information about the cookies they place, the purpose and duration of the cookie, and how they have ensured your privacy.

If you do not want cookies to be stored on your browser or if you wish to receive information each time a cookie is requested to be installed, you can configure your browser to do so. Most browsers allow the management of cookies in 3 different ways:

• Cookies are always rejected.
• The browser asks if the user wants to install each cookie.
• Cookies are always accepted.

The browser can also include the ability to better specify which cookies have to be accepted and which do not. Specifically, the user can normally accept any of the following options:

• Reject cookies from certain domains.
• Reject third party cookies.
• Accept cookies as non-persistent (they are deleted when the browser is closed).
• Allow the server to create cookies for a different domain.

There are also other similar technologies such as local shared objects, flash cookies or pixels that in the same way are tools used by Web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors and provide a proper functioning of the site.

This document on the use of Cookies has been prepared from an external technical auditee and is therefore subject to periodic updates. Its purpose is to help you understand the use this website makes of cookies, the purpose of the cookies used, as well as the options available to the user to manage them.

COOKIES AFFECTED BY REGULATIONS AND COOKIES EXCEPTED

According to European regulations, the cookies that require informed consent by the user are analytical cookies and advertising and affiliation, except for those of a technical nature and those necessary for the operation of the website or the provision of services expressly requested by the user.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?

The A.E.P.D. classifies cookies into various types according to the different criteria shown below (it should be borne in mind that the same cookie may belong to more than one category simultaneously):

In this classification, the entity that manages the cookies that are sent and administers the data obtained is discriminated against:

Own Cookies: These are those that belong to the entity that manages the domain that provides the service requested by the user.

Third-party Cookies: Cookies owned by a third party, other than the entity that manages the domain that provides the service requested by the user, and who will treat the information collected. Third party cookies are also considered those that, although installed by the entity that manages the domain, are processed by a third party.

In this classification, two types of cookies are differentiated according to the time they remain activated in the terminal equipment:

Session Cookies: Cookies that are generated to collect and store navigation data while the user accesses a website. They remain active until the page is abandoned and the browser is closed, so that when you restart the browser and return to visit the website, it does not recognize the user. An example of this type is when you log in to a bank and when you close the browser or after a period of inactivity you close the session.

Permanent Cookies: They are those cookies that are stored in the terminal equipment and can be accessed during the period of time defined by the entity that manages the cookie. These files will remain on the computer until they are manually deleted or the browser deletes them according to the established duration of the cookie, which can be from a few minutes to several years.

In this classification the types of cookies are differentiated according to the purpose for which the data collected through the cookies are used.

– Technical Cookies: Are those strictly necessary for the proper functioning of a website. They are generated when the user accesses or logs into the site and are used to identify the user while browsing the site and to check whether he is authorized to access services or restricted areas of the website.

There are many examples of technical cookies: Controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the user’s session while browsing a website, accessing restricted access areas of a site, remembering the products of an order and making the purchase process, making the request for registration or participation in an event, using security features while browsing, storing content for the dissemination of videos or sound or sharing content through social networks.

• Personalization Cookies: These are those cookies that allow the user to personalize some functions or contents of the website according to the characteristics defined in their terminal or by themselves when accessing the site.

Examples of interface customization cookies are language, regional settings, the type of browser through which you access the service, and so on.

• Analysis Cookies: Cookies that allow the person responsible for them to track and analyze the user’s behavior when connecting to a website. They make it possible to quantify the number of users and carry out statistical analyses on the use of the site in order to improve the services offered.
• Advertising Cookies: These are those that allow the most efficient management of the offer of advertising spaces that are presented on a website based on criteria such as content or the frequency with which ads appear.

These cookies store information on the behaviour of users as a result of continuous observation of their browsing habits. In this way, a navigation profile is developed and advertising is displayed according to it.
