What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files generated by the web pages the User visits, which contain session data that may be useful later on the website. The data allows the website to maintain information across pages and also to analyze how users interact with the site.
Cookies are safe because they can only store the information placed there by the browser, the information the User has entered into the browser, or what is included in the page request. They cannot execute code and cannot be used to access the User’s device.
Cookies are essential for the functioning of the Internet, providing countless advantages in delivering interactive services, facilitating navigation and usability of web pages.
Cookies cannot harm devices, and having them enabled helps identify and resolve errors.
Information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, pages viewed, time spent on the Website, and the sites visited immediately before and after it. However, no cookie allows contact with the User’s phone number or any other personal contact information. No cookie can extract information from the User’s hard drive or steal personal information. The only way private User information becomes part of the Cookie file is if the User personally provides that information to the server.
Cookies that can identify a person are considered personal data. Therefore, the previously described Privacy Policy will apply to them. In this regard, their use requires the User’s consent. This consent will be communicated based on a genuine choice, offered through an affirmative and positive decision, prior to initial processing, revocable, and documented.
What are scripts?
A script is a piece of program code used to make our website work correctly and interactively. This code runs on our server or on your device.
Types of cookies
Below, we provide more information to help understand the different types of cookies that may be used:
By ownership
First-party cookies
These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a domain managed by the website owner, from which the requested service is provided. They are used to remember preferences and settings specific to that website, improve the user experience, and collect analytics data directly by the site operator. Since they are set by the website itself, they are generally considered more trustworthy and are subject to the privacy policy of that specific site.
Third-party cookies
These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a domain that is not managed by the website owner, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies. They are typically set by external services integrated into the website, such as advertising networks, social media platforms, or analytics providers. Because these cookies are controlled by third parties, their use is governed by the privacy policies of those external entities, which may collect data across multiple websites and platforms.
By purpose
Functional cookies
These are essential for the proper functioning of the website and enable basic features such as navigation, security, or session management. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website would not work correctly. They do not collect information for marketing purposes and cannot be used to track browsing activity on other websites. Examples include cookies that keep a user logged in during a session or remember items added to a shopping cart.
Preference or personalization cookies
These allow the website to remember information in order to provide a personalized experience, such as language settings, display preferences, or regional configurations. They help the website adapt its content and appearance to the user’s previously expressed choices, avoiding the need to re-enter preferences on each visit. Disabling these cookies may result in a less tailored browsing experience.
Analytical cookies
These allow the monitoring and analysis of user behavior on the website in order to improve its performance and content. They track metrics such as the number of visitors, time spent on pages, traffic sources, and navigation paths. The information is collected in an aggregated and anonymous form, meaning it cannot be used to directly identify individual users. This data helps website operators understand how users interact with the site and identify areas for improvement.
Behavioral advertising cookies
These store information about the user’s browsing habits — such as pages visited, links clicked, and searches performed — in order to build a profile and display personalized advertising that is relevant to their interests. They may track activity across multiple websites and platforms, allowing advertisers to deliver targeted campaigns. Users who opt out of these cookies will still see advertising, but it will be generic rather than tailored to their behavior.
By duration
Session cookies
These are temporary cookies stored only while the user is actively browsing the website. They are automatically deleted from the device as soon as the browser is closed. Session cookies are commonly used to maintain continuity during a single visit, such as keeping a user authenticated across different pages or preserving the contents of a form. They do not persist beyond the current browsing session and leave no long-term trace on the device.
Persistent cookies
Unlike session cookies, these remain stored on the user’s device for a defined period after the browser is closed, which may range from a few minutes to several years depending on their purpose. They are used to remember user preferences, login credentials, or behavioral data across multiple visits. The expiration date is set by the website or service that created the cookie, and they remain active until that date is reached or the user manually deletes them.
Cookie list
Controller of cookie processing
The owner of the website and the controller of the processing of the cookies used here, as well as their contact details, are accessible in the Legal Notice of this page. Likewise, there may be third-party cookies other than those of the website owner, as explained below.
Legal basis for the use of cookies
In the case of technical cookies, that is, those that are essential for browsing this website and receiving the service offered through it, the legal basis for their use is the agreement through which you choose to use this website and its services.
The legal basis for the use of other cookies is the user’s consent, which is requested when accessing this website and may be revoked at any time. The withdrawal of such consent will not affect the ability to browse this website and use its services, but the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal will not lose its lawfulness due to the revocation of consent.

The user must explicitly and actively accept the use of the aforementioned cookies, for the periods indicated above and under the conditions contained in this Cookie Policy.
Withdrawal of consent
The user may withdraw their consent related to this Cookie Policy at any time by deleting the cookies stored on their device using the settings and configurations of their internet browser.
Rights of the data subject
Most cookies collect anonymous information that does not allow the identification of the user, although some of the codes included serve to single out or individualize the browser of the device used, and data protection regulations may apply. Therefore, we inform you that the information obtained through cookies will be processed for the purposes indicated in this Cookie Policy. Likewise, this information will also be processed by those companies that provide cookies for the purposes indicated in their respective privacy policies.
However, considering that these codes do not allow the identification of the User, the rights of access, rectification, deletion, opposition, restriction, and portability recognized in data protection regulations will not apply, unless the User can provide additional information that links their identity to the identifying codes of their cookies.
If you consider that your data protection rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es) or with our Data Protection Officer/responsible for data protection at the following email: [email protected].
On the other hand, we inform you that some of our providers, partners, and collaborators may be located in the United States or other countries whose legislation does not offer a level of data protection equivalent to the European one. By consenting to the use of cookies and data sharing, you consent to the transfer of your personal data.
