WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A “cookie” is a small file that is stored on the user’s computer, tablet, smartphone, or any other device containing information about browsing activity. The collection of “cookies” helps us improve the quality of our website and allows us to determine which pages our users find useful and which they do not.

This website uses cookies and/or similar technologies to store and retrieve information while you browse. In general, these technologies can be used for a variety of purposes, such as recognising you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits, or customising the way content is displayed.

TYPES OF COOKIES

The information below will help you understand the different types of cookies:

  • First-party cookies: These are sent to your device from our own servers or domains and are used to provide the service you have requested.
  • Third-party cookies: These are sent to your device from a server or domain that is not managed by us but by another collaborating entity, such as those used by social networks or external content providers like Google Maps.
  • Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser’s cookie file until you leave the website. They are not stored on your device’s hard drive. The information gathered by these cookies helps us analyse website traffic patterns, allowing us to enhance your browsing experience and improve the site’s content and usability.
  • Persistent cookies: These are stored on your device’s hard drive and are read by our website each time you visit. Persistent cookies have a specific expiration date, after which they will stop functioning. We generally use these cookies to facilitate registration services.
  • Technical cookies: These are essential for browsing and ensuring the proper functioning of our website. For example, they enable traffic and data communication control, restricted area access, security features, content storage for video playback, or sharing content on social networks.
  • Customisation cookies: These allow you to access the service with certain predefined characteristics based on criteria such as language, the type of browser used to access the service, or regional settings from where the service is accessed.
  • Analytics cookies: These, whether processed by us or third parties, enable us to quantify the number of users and thus perform statistical analysis of how users interact with the service offered. We analyse your browsing behaviour on our website to improve the products and services we provide.
  • Advertising cookies: These are used to manage, as efficiently as possible, the advertising spaces that may appear on our website, showing ads relevant to your browsing profile.
  • Behavioural advertising cookies: These cookies store information about users’ behaviour gathered through continuous observation. This allows us to understand internet browsing habits and display advertising that aligns with your browsing profile.

HOW CAN YOU DISABLE OR DELETE THESE COOKIES? 
You can enable or block cookies, as well as delete your browsing data (including cookies), from the browser you use. Please refer to your browser’s options and instructions for further details. Bear in mind that if you accept third-party cookies, you will need to delete them via your browser’s options.

Additionally, some services may use social media plugins such as Facebook or Twitter. When a user registers for a service using social media credentials, they authorise the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and grants access to the service until it expires.
Users can delete this cookie and revoke access to services through social media by updating their preferences in the relevant social network settings.
