What are cookies and why do we use them?
A cookie or computer cookie is a small information file that is saved on your computer, smartphone, or tablet each time you visit our website.
In principle, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, trojans, worms, etc. that can damage your device, but it does have a certain impact on your right to the protection of your personal data, as it collects certain information about you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).
Therefore, based on the provisions of the applicable regulations (LSSI and current personal data protection regulations), the activation of certain types of cookies will require your prior authorization.
By a simple and quick step, such as checking a box in our Cookie Settings section, you can give your authorization for the activation of the cookies you want: take control and enjoy personalized browsing on our website.
Before that, we will provide you with some additional information that will help you make better decisions in this regard:
Cookies can be of various types depending on their purpose:
Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function; they do not require your authorization and are the only ones activated by default.
The rest of the cookies may be used to improve our website, personalize it based on your preferences, or show you advertising tailored to your searches, tastes, and personal interests. All of them are deactivated by default, and your prior authorization is required for their activation, which you can grant by a simple and quick step, such as checking a box in our Cookie Settings section.
Some cookies are ours (we will call them proprietary cookies), and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will call them third-party cookies, for example, cookies from external providers such as Google). In this regard, it is important to know that some of these external providers may be located outside of Spain.
Globally, not all countries have the same level of data protection, with some countries being safer than others (for example, the European Union is a safe environment for your data). Our policy is to use reliable providers who, regardless of whether they are located in the European Union or not, have taken appropriate guarantees for the protection of your personal information. However, in the section called “What type of cookies are currently used on our website?” you can consult the different Privacy and Data Protection Policies of each of the mentioned external providers to make an informed decision about whether to activate third-party cookies used on our website.
Finally, we inform you that, depending on the period of time they remain active, cookies can be of two types:
Session cookies: expire automatically when you end the session on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. They are usually used to retain the necessary information while providing you with a service on a single occasion.
Persistent cookies: remain stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet for a certain period, which can vary from a few minutes to several years.
What types of cookies can we use on our website?
Technical Cookies:
Technical cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function, and you can navigate through them. This type of cookies, for example, allows us to identify you, give you access to certain restricted parts of the page if necessary, or remember different options or services already selected by you, such as your privacy preferences. Therefore, they are activated by default, and your authorization is not required in this regard.
Through your browser settings, you can block or alert the presence of this type of cookies, although such blocking will affect the proper functioning of the different features of our website.
Analysis Cookies:
Analysis cookies allow us to study the navigation of users on our website in general (for example, which sections of the page are the most visited, which services are used the most and if they work correctly, etc.).
Based on statistical information about navigation on our website, we can improve both the operation of the page itself and the different services it offers. Therefore, these cookies do not have an advertising purpose but only serve to make our website work better, adapting to our users in general. By activating them, you will contribute to this continuous improvement.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by checking the corresponding box, being deactivated by default.
Functionality and Personalization Cookies:
Functionality cookies allow us to remember your preferences to customize certain features and general options on our website every time you access it (for example, the language in which the information is presented, the sections marked as favorites, your type of browser, etc.).
Therefore, this type of cookies does not have an advertising purpose, but by activating them, you will improve the functionality of the website (for example, adapting it to your type of browser) and its customization based on your preferences (for example, presenting information in the language you have chosen on previous occasions). This will contribute to the ease, usability, and comfort of our page during your browsing.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by checking the corresponding box, being deactivated by default.
Advertising Cookies:
Advertising cookies allow us to manage the advertising spaces included on our website based on criteria such as the content shown or the frequency with which ads are displayed.
For example, if you have been shown the same ad several times on our website and have not shown personal interest by clicking on it, it will not appear again. In summary, by activating this type of cookies, the advertising shown on our website will be more useful, diverse and less repetitive.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by checking the corresponding box, being deactivated by default.
Behavioral Advertising Cookies:
Behavioral advertising cookies allow us to obtain information based on the observation of your browsing habits and behaviors on the web, in order to show you advertising content that better suits your tastes and personal interests.
To understand this very simply, we will give you a fictitious example: if your recent web searches were related to suspense literature, we would show you advertising for suspense books.
Therefore, by activating this type of cookies, the advertising we show you on our website will not be generic, but will be oriented to your searches, tastes, and interests, adjusting exclusively to you.
You can activate or deactivate these cookies by checking the corresponding box, being deactivated by default.
What can you do with cookies?
When you access our website for the first time, a window is displayed informing you that cookies can be of various types:
Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function; they do not require your authorization and are the only ones activated by default. Therefore, they are the only cookies that will be active if you only press the ACCEPT button.
The rest of the cookies serve to improve our website, personalize it based on your preferences, or show you advertising tailored to your searches, tastes, and personal interests. All of them are deactivated by default, but you can activate them in our COOKIE SETTINGS section: take control and enjoy personalized browsing on our website, with a simple and quick step, such as checking the boxes you want.
Also, once you have activated any type of cookies, you have the possibility to deactivate them whenever you want, with the simple step of unchecking the corresponding box in the COOKIE SETTINGS section of our website. It will always be as easy for you to activate our proprietary cookies as it is to deactivate them.
Also, through your browser settings, you can block or alert the presence of cookies, although such blocking may affect the proper functioning of the different features of our website in the case of necessary technical cookies.
Finally, we inform you that, if you activate third-party cookies (external companies that provide services for our website) and later want to deactivate them, you can do so in two ways: using the cookie deactivation tools of your browser or through the systems enabled by these external providers.
To make it much easier for you, we provide you with a series of links to the cookie deactivation guidelines for commonly used browsers:
