The use of the services offered by the WEBSITES implies full and unreserved acceptance of this policy on the use of cookies.

1.- What is a Cookie?

Cookies are files containing tiny amounts of information that are downloaded to the user’s device used when visiting a website.

Cookies are a tool used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their users. It is nothing more than a text file that some servers ask the browser to write to your hard drive, with information about what you have done on the website. They have an expiry date, which can range from the duration of the session to a specified future date, after which they are no longer operational.

Cookies are essential for the functioning of the Internet; they cannot damage your computer/device and, if enabled in your browser settings, they help us to identify and resolve possible malfunctions of the WEBSITES.

2.- Types of Cookies.

Cookies are divided into several types of classifications: by who uses them, by the purpose of their use and by the length of time they remain active.

1. By whom owns them, they are classified into:

• Own cookies: Those that we send to your computer or terminal from our website.
• Third-party cookies: Those that are sent to your computer or terminal from a domain or web page that is not managed by us, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

1. By purpose, they are classified as follows:

• Functional Cookies: These are those that allow the user to browse through a website and use the different options or services that exist on it.
• Personalisation cookies: These cookies allow the user to access the service with certain predefined general characteristics depending on a series of criteria in the user’s terminal, such as, for example, the language, the type of browser used to access the service, the regional configuration from where the service is accessed, etc.
• Analysis cookies: These are cookies that are either processed by us or by third parties and allow us to quantify the number of users and carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of our website. To do this, we analyse browsing on our website in order to improve the range of products or services we offer.
• Behavioural advertising cookies: These are cookies that store information on the behaviour of users obtained through the continuous observation of their browsing habits, which allows a specific profile to be developed in order to display advertising based on the same.

1. For permanence, they are classified into

• Session Cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They disappear at the end of the user’s session.
• Persistent Cookies: These are cookies in which the data remain stored in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a defined period of time by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
