What are cookies?
In English, the term "cookie" means biscuit, but in the context of web browsing, a "cookie" is something completely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text is stored in your device's browser called a "cookie". This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customizations, etc...
There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will call all these technologies "cookies" collectively.
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

For example, to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) while browsing and on future visits. The information collected in cookies also allows us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up the searches you make, etc..
In certain cases, if we have obtained your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as obtaining information that allows us to show you advertising based on the analysis of your browsing habits.
What are cookies NOT used for on this website?
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal identification information such as your name, address, password, etc...
Who uses the information stored in cookies?
The information stored in the cookies of our Website is used exclusively by us, except for those identified later as "third-party cookies", which are used and managed by external entities that provide us services that enhance the user experience. For example, the statistics collected regarding the number of visits, the content that is most liked, etc... is usually managed by Google Analytics.
How can you avoid the use of cookies on this Website?
If you prefer to avoid the use of cookies, you can REJECT their use or you can CONFIGURE which ones you want to avoid and which ones you allow to be used (in this document we provide expanded information regarding each type of cookie, its purpose, recipient, duration, etc...).
If you have accepted them, we will not ask you again unless you delete the cookies on your device as indicated in the next section. If you want to revoke the consent, you will have to delete the cookies and reconfigure them.
How do I disable and delete the use of cookies?

You will find instructions for enabling or disabling cookies in the most common browsers at the following links.
What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the ones listed below:
ACCORDING TO THE ENTITY THAT MANAGES THEM
First-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the User's terminal from a computer or domain managed by the editor itself and from which the service requested by the User is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the User's terminal from a computer or domain not managed by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies.
In the case where cookies are served from a computer or domain managed by the editor, but the information collected through these is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as first-party cookies if the third party uses them for its own purposes (for example, improving the services it provides or providing advertising services in favor of other entities).
ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access sections, making the request for registration or participation in an event, counting visits for billing purposes of the licenses of the software with which the Website service operates, using security elements during browsing, storing content for video or audio distribution, enabling dynamic content (for example, loading animation of a text or image) or sharing content through social networks.
Analysis cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus carry out the measurement and statistical analysis of the use made by users of the Website.
Preference or customization cookies:
These are cookies that remember information so that the User can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to show when the User performs a search, the appearance or content of the service based on the type of browser through which the User accesses the service or the region from which they access the service, etc.
ACCORDING TO THE TIME FRAME THEY REMAIN ACTIVE
Session cookies:
These are cookies designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a web page.
They are usually used to store information that is only relevant to maintain the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These are cookies in which the data remains stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a defined period by the cookie's responsible party, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically assessed whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their duration as necessary based on the purpose of their use. For these purposes, Opinion 4/2012 of the GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the obligation of informed consent, its expiration must be related to its purpose. Because of this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exempt than persistent ones.
