What are cookies?
In English, the term "cookie" means a cookie, but in the context of web browsing, a "cookie" is something completely different. When you visit our Website, a small amount of text called a "cookie" is stored in your device's browser. This text contains various types of information about your browsing activity, habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.
There are other technologies that work in a similar way and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies."
The specific ways in which we use these technologies are described in this document.

The information collected through cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, and more.
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as to collect information that allows us to show you advertisements based on an analysis of your browsing habits.

For example, statistics are collected on the number of visits, the most popular content, etc.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following cookies:
DEPENDING ON THE ORGANIZATION THAT MANAGES IT
First-party cookies:
These are cookies that are sent to the User's device from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested by the User is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are cookies that are sent to the user's device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher, but rather by another entity that processes the data collected 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 (for example, to improve the services it provides or to provide advertising services on behalf of other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are the cookies necessary for navigation and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, submitting a registration or event participation request, counting visits for the purpose of billing for software licenses used to operate the Website’s service, using security features during navigation, storing content for the streaming of videos or audio, and enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animations for text or images).
Analytics cookies:
They allow us to determine the number of users and, thus, to measure and statistically analyze how users interact with the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These are cookies that allow us to remember information so that the User can access the service with certain features that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to be displayed when the User performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser the User uses to access the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.
BASED ON HOW LONG THEY REMAIN ACTIVATED
Session cookies:
These are cookies designed to collect and store data while the user is browsing a website.
They are typically used to store information that is needed solely to provide the service requested by the user on a one-time basis (for example, a list of purchased products) and are deleted when the session ends.
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 controller, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, a specific assessment must be made as to whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, since privacy risks could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to limit their duration to the minimum necessary, taking into account the purpose for which they are used. To this end, Opinion 4/2012 of the Article 29 Working Party (GT29) indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement for 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.
