What are cookies?
“Cookies” are small temporary files that are created on the user’s device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) when visiting a website, and which allow the website to store or retrieve information when browsing, for example, to save your usage preferences or to recognize you on subsequent visits, as well as to obtain information about your browsing habits.
When a website creates a cookie on the user’s device, the address/domain of the website that created the cookie is stored, the duration of the cookie which can range from a few minutes to several years, as well as the content of the cookie. The user can disable cookies at any time using the configuration system of this website, as well as configure their browser program to prevent (block) the use of cookies by certain websites, and also delete previously stored cookies.
What are cookies used for?
The most common uses or purposes are:
- Essential technical cookies. They are used to manage the navigation flow within the website or to keep the user connected to it. By disabling them, some parts of the website may not work correctly.
- Personalization cookies. Necessary to remember certain user preferences.
- Analytical cookies. They help us and third parties collect information about the origin of users and their navigation within the website, for the purposes of statistical analysis to improve the structure and content.
- Advertising cookies. Used to manage the advertisements that appear on the website, deciding the content or frequency of the ads.
- Behavioral advertising cookies. They help collect the user’s browsing habits to create a profile of their interests and to show them advertisements adapted to those interests.
- Social sharing cookies. They are necessary to identify the user on their social networks and thus allow them to share content.
What do we understand by technologies similar to cookies?
Similar technologies are understood as any type of data storage and retrieval mechanism used on the user’s device to obtain information. The most common ones include:
- Browser local storage. Some websites use local storage called “sessionStorage” and “localStorage”, as well as the browser’s indexed database, to save information;
- Local storage of browser plug-ins, such as Flash local storage (“Flash Local Shared Objects”) or Silverlight local storage (“Isolated Objects”).
- The “web beacon” is a tracking technique that consists of inserting an image hosted on an Internet server into a web page (or an email) so that, when the browser or email program connects to said server to download and display the image, the connection is recorded. This allows knowing that the user has viewed the web page or email. Sometimes this image is very small or transparent so that the user does not notice its existence.
- “Fingerprinting” techniques that combine information obtained from the browser or the browsing equipment to distinguish a user on their successive visits to different websites.
What are third-party cookies? Who are the recipients of the information?
The cookies on this website can be classified, depending on who creates them, into two categories:
- First-party cookies: they are created and managed from our websites and domains, with the information obtained managed directly or indirectly by us for our own purposes.
- Third-party cookies: these are cookies that are created and managed from other websites that, although not completely under our control, provide functions and features that we have decided to include on our website, such as, for example: interactive maps, videos and multimedia elements, social network sharing buttons, advertisements, etc. These cookies are under the control of the third party that provides the corresponding function.
The vast majority of third-party functions involve access or collection of information (and the use of cookies) by the third party providing the function, based on their own criteria and purposes, including collection of browsing habits to show you personalized advertising. The following section indicates the third-party functions and features used on this website.

How long are cookies or similar technologies kept active?
Depending on their permanence or period of activity, we can differentiate between:
- Temporary session cookies; they remain stored on the browsing equipment until the user leaves the web page; the browser deletes them at the end of the browsing session.
- Persistent cookies; they remain on the browsing equipment and the website reads them every time the user makes a new visit. These cookies are automatically deleted after a certain period of time, which can be short or very long.
This policy includes information on the duration of cookies; for more information, consult our privacy policy, as well as the information provided in the privacy policies of third-party web function providers.
