USE OF COOKIES. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are files that are downloaded to your computer, smartphone, or tablet when accessing certain websites. They store and retrieve information as you browse. The use of cookies offers numerous advantages in the provision of Information Society services, since, among others:
- (a) They facilitate the user’s navigation of the Website.
- (b) They provide the user with easier access to the various services offered by the Website.
- (c) They prevent the user from having to reconfigure predefined general features each time they access the Website.
- (d) They help improve the performance and services provided through the Website by analyzing the information obtained from installed cookies.
- (e) They allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user’s or device’s browsing habits, and depending on the information they contain and how the user uses their device, they can be used to recognize the user.
In accordance with Law 34/2002 of July 11 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce and Regulation (EU) 2016/679, necessary technical storage may be used without advertising consent. Google Ads measurement is optional and remains disabled unless the user selects Allow ad measurement. Refusing it does not restrict access to the website.
To provide you with the most complete information possible, we begin with a classification of cookies based on several categories:
Types of cookies based on the entity that manages them
a) First-party cookies:
These are managed by the website owner and are usually sent to the user’s device from a system or domain managed by the publisher and used to provide the requested service.b) Third-party cookies:
These are managed by an entity other than the publisher and are typically sent to the user’s device from a system or domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes data obtained through the cookies.
Types of cookies based on their purpose
a) Technical cookies:
These allow users to browse a website, platform, or application and use different options or services, including those used by the publisher to manage and operate the site and enable its features (traffic control, session identification, access to restricted areas, purchases, content storage, video/audio playback, etc.).b) Preference or personalization cookies:
These remember information so that users access the service with certain features that differentiate their experience from that of other users (such as language, number of search results, etc.).c) Analytics or measurement cookies:
These allow the site manager to monitor and analyze the behavior of users on linked websites, including measuring ad impact.d) Behavioral advertising cookies:
These store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, allowing for the development of a specific profile to display targeted advertising.
Types of cookies based on the duration they remain active
a) Session cookies:
Designed to collect and store data while the user is on a website. They are used to store information only for the duration of a single session (e.g., a shopping cart) and are deleted once the session ends.b) Persistent cookies:
Data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, ranging from a few minutes to several years.

Advertising measurement choices
Google Ads measurement is loaded only after explicit permission. Advertising personalization remains disabled.
