USE OF COOKIES

Through this notice, the website [website address], owned by [company name], with [company NIF], informs you of its cookie policy, thus complying with the provisions of Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002, of July 11, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce.

What is a cookie? Cookies are files that are downloaded to the user’s terminal (computer/smartphone/tablet) when accessing certain web pages and are stored in its memory. Cookies allow, among other things, the storage and retrieval of information about a user’s or device’s browsing habits, viewing which pages are visited, the connection time, analyzing the functioning of a page, detecting technical problems, etc. Depending on the information contained and the way the terminal is used, they may be used to recognize the user.

What types of cookies exist? There are several types of cookies based on different criteria:

• Based on ownership:

  • First-party cookies: These belong to the owner of the website.
  • Third-party cookies: These belong to a third party, different from the website owner, who will process the collected information.

• Based on their purpose:

  • Technical cookies: These allow the user to browse a website, platform, or application and use different options or services available, including those used by the editor to manage and operate the website, such as controlling data traffic and communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, remembering order items, managing payments, controlling fraud related to service security, requesting event participation, counting visits for software licensing billing, using security elements, storing multimedia content, enabling dynamic content, or sharing content via social networks.

    • Technical cookies are exempt from compliance with Article 22.2 of the LSSI when they enable the provision of a service requested by the user. However, if these cookies are also used for non-exempt purposes (e.g., behavioral advertising), they will be subject to those obligations.

  • Preference or personalization cookies: These remember information so that the user accesses the service with certain characteristics that differentiate their experience, such as language, search result preferences, website appearance based on browser type, or the region from which they access the service. If the user selects these features (e.g., choosing a website language), these cookies are exempt from Article 22.2 of the LSSI.

  • Analysis or measurement cookies: These allow tracking and analyzing user behavior on linked websites, including ad impact quantification. The collected information is used to measure website, application, or platform activity and improve service functionality. Although these cookies require informed consent, they pose minimal privacy risk when they process aggregated data strictly for statistical purposes.

  • Behavioral advertising cookies: These store information on user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing the development of a specific profile to display ads accordingly.

• Based on duration:

  • Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website. They are usually employed for a single service session (e.g., a shopping cart) and disappear when the session ends.
  • Persistent cookies: These store data in the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the cookie owner, ranging from minutes to years.

What is the purpose of cookies? Cookies enable personalized services and advertisements, analyze system performance, recognize users, identify and resolve issues promptly, and assess and measure website usage and activity.

Is my consent required to install a cookie? Consent is not required for the installation of technical cookies or those strictly necessary to provide an information society service expressly requested by the recipient. For all other cookies, user consent is required, which may be obtained in different ways. On this website, consent is understood to be granted if you continue browsing the website. However, you may revoke and disable cookies at any time.

What cookies are currently used on this website? Who uses them?

• TECHNICAL SESSION OR PERSISTENT COOKIES: These are first-party cookies used for session identification, configuration, and user registration, strictly necessary for user identification and service provision. The collected information is processed solely by the website owner.
• ANALYTICAL COOKIES: These cookies, processed either by us or third parties, allow us to quantify users and conduct statistical analysis of how users utilize our offered services. Navigation analysis enables us to improve our product or service offerings. Third parties that provide such services include:
  • Google Analytics
    • Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service developed by Google that allows website navigation measurement and analysis. You may notice cookies from this service in your browser.
    • Web analytics provides information on website access numbers, page views, visit frequency, session duration, browser used, service provider, language, device type, and IP address location. This data helps improve service quality.
    • To ensure anonymity, Google anonymizes your information by truncating the IP address before storing it, meaning Google Analytics does not use the data to identify individual users. Google may share collected data only when legally required. Google will not associate your IP address with other stored data.
    • You can review Google Analytics data storage policies and cookie usage at Google Analytics Support.

NOTE: This list will be updated as quickly as possible. However, it may exceptionally occur that some cookies are temporarily omitted during updates. In any case, all cookies used will have the same purposes as those registered in this list.

These tools do not collect users’ personal data or postal addresses. The obtained information relates to visited pages, language, IP address location, number of users, visit frequency, visit duration, browser type, and the type of device used.
